7h agoInwood Hill Park continues to deal with the aftermath of a brushfire that spread for acres and even reignited for the second night Monday night.
"We did take about half a dozen trees down and we removed another handful of trees that were already down that needed to be cut up and moved to the side," said Joseph Kocal, director of Manhattan Forestry.
As we wait for rain, brushfire tips from the FDNY encourages New Yorkers to:
- Avoid outdoor burning.
- Always dispose of cigarette butts and matches properly.
- Dispose of any litter.
Grilling is also banned across city parks as drought conditions continue.
"This time last year we were dealing with historic rain events. So, we really do have to be ready for anything in the future. Thinking about the context of climate change," said City Parks Department director of Natural Areas Management Kip Stein.
