The Jennings Creek Wildfire is now fully contained, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced on Friday.

Fire officials say the fire has burned more than 5,300 acres along the New York-New Jersey border since it erupted two weeks ago.

There are still pockets of smoke and fire but officials say they are under control.

The fire claimed the life of 18-year-old volunteer firefighter, Dariel Vasquez.

"For two weeks, firefighting crews and staff responded from around the state to battle the Jennings Creek wildfire and today they were successful in fully containing the fire,” Hochul said in a statement. “From the start, we launched a coordinated response with every available resource to help our first responders complete this mission, and could not have done this without the professional and volunteer crews that worked alongside our partners in New Jersey, and crews from Colorado and Montana. I thank all of them for their hard work, spending time away from their families and working tirelessly every day to keep New Yorkers safe."

Sterling Forest State Park Rangers say hiking and hunting was reopened on Saturday. Trails in the fire zone will remain closed indefinitely. 

A statewide burn ban is in effect until Nov. 30 due to increased fire risk.

The fire's cause remains under investigation.
