FDNY Battles Persistent Brush Fire in Brooklyn's Prospect Park

Firefighters in Brooklyn's Prospect Park battled a two-alarm brush fire that spread across two acres in a hilly, dense area. The fire, reported by a passerby, required about 120 firefighters to control and posed no threat to civilian structures. New York City is under a drought watch, with dry, windy conditions increasing fire risks, prompting a Red Flag Warning. Authorities urge residents to report fires and avoid activities that could spark new ones. Similar fires have been reported in the Bronx and New Jersey.
