Teams from the Alden, East Seneca, Seneca Hose, Union, and Winchester fire departments are aiding emergency crews downstate in Suffolk County.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Erie County Water Rescue Teams were ready to help with Hurricane Henri when made landfall on Sunday. 

Crews from the Alden, East Seneca, Seneca Hose, Union, and Winchester fire departments are aiding emergency crews downstate in Suffolk County.

The teams are expected to be deployed for the next three days.

In a social media post on Facebook, the Erie County Department of Homeland Security & Emergency Services said its water rescue crews were moved Sunday morning to Brentwood, New York. Central Long Island is "experiencing high tides and possible flooding," which prompted the move along the Atlantic Ocean.
