A red flag warning is in effect today until 6 p.m.
Under a red flag warning, there's a real danger for fires to spread easily and rapidly.
During last Friday's fire at Prospect Park that burned two acres, the city was under a fire weather watch, an alert that is less severe than today's warning.
Grilling, smoking and open flames remain prohibited in all New York State Parks.
