NEW YORK (WRGB) — You may have noticed a thick layer of smoke across the Capital Region and the North Country Sunday. It was smoke from multiple brush fires across Southern New York making its way to the region. The NYSDEC and Health Commissioner both issued a health advisory for unhealthy air quality that was just lifted at midnight.

Amid New York City officials issuing an air quality alert on Saturday, firefighters continued battling a 2,000-acre wildfire that spread from New Jersey into New York, officials announced Saturday evening.
