"People nearby, avoid smoke & close windows," said an alert from New York City Emergency Management, highlighting the health risks associated with the brush fire.
"NYC is under a fire risk Red Flag Warning due to dry conditions and strong winds," Adams said, urging vigilance among residents amid severe drought conditions.
No injuries were reported in the Prospect Park fire, which was partly attributed to a significant stretch without rainfall in New York City.
The brush fire at Prospect Park is indicative of the broader issue, as multiple fires occurred earlier that week in the Bronx due to similar severe dry conditions.
