The blaze in the borough’s “most ancient forest” was the latest in a series of brush fires in the metro area amid record drought conditions.
Another week of record-dry weather contributed to yet another brush fire in a beloved New York City Park on Wednesday into Thursday.
To extinguish several different hot spots in the thick forest, firefighters had to climb up 150 feet of elevation with hose lines that pumped water from the Harlem River, FDNY officials said. The department also launched drones to help firefighters navigate the dense brush, and a marine unit also assisted in the response.
“We had multiple trees that collapsed — extremely dangerous for our members,” he said at a press conference on Wednesday night.
