A brushfire erupted in Inwood Hill Park around 3 p.m., quickly spreading across the area and prompting a two-alarm response from the FDNY, including drones and specialized units.
The National Weather Service issued a 'Red Flag Warning' for NYC due to strong winds and dry conditions, heightening the risk for brushfires in the region.
Officials have urged residents to keep windows closed and stay clear of the area as firefighters work to contain the blaze affecting Inwood Hill Park.
Earlier in the week, a significant brushfire, the Jennings Creek fire, impacted northern New Jersey and New York, burning over 7,000 acres and remaining only 30% contained.
