UPDATE: The brush fire in Lansing that sparked Friday night is now largely under control, according to the Tompkins County Department of Emergency Response. Crews are still working on putting out a few hot spots.

One firefighter was taken to the hospital to be treated for non-life threatening injuries. Two other responders were treated for injuries at the scene.

East Shore Drive was closed from Route 13 to Oakcrest Drive while fire fighters responded to the scene. A portion of Cayuga Heights Road was also closed.

The Department of Emergency Response says New York State Police are investigating what started the blaze.
