9h agoThe fire weather warnings are still in effect amid high winds and dry air in New York City.
The FDNY said Tuesday night, after another massive fire in the Bronx, that the amount of brushfires New York City has seen in the last 11 days is the most in a one-month span they’ve had in over two years.
Gov. Kathy Hochul has issued a statewide burn ban until Nov. 30. New Yorkers should not be lighting an open campfire, barbecuing, or lighting any brush or debris on fire.
The FDNY has these safety tips for brushfires:
Among the safety tips for brush fires:
- Avoid outdoor burning, including campfires, bonfires, and any other open flames.
- Grilling has been banned in New York City Parks while the city remains in drought conditions.
- Be mindful of smoking. If you smoke outdoors, always dispose of your cigarette butts and matches properly.
- Take extra safety precautions when welding or undertaking other hot construction activities, particularly when near dry grass or leaves.
- When enjoying our parks, please stay on designated trails. This will help protect surrounding vegetation and minimize the risk of accidental fires.
- Fireworks remain illegal across New York City.
- Take additional precautions when doing activities like welding near dry grass and weeds.
- Remove litter and any excessive brush or leaves from sidewalks abutting residences and businesses.
