NEW YORK-- A brush fire at Inwood Hill Park in Upper Manhattan broke out again overnight, but firefighters had it back under control before daybreak. The FDNY said reports of smoke and flames came in just after 2:30 p.m. Wednesday from a large area inside ...

The fire ignited and spread rapidly across a large area of brush inside the park on Wednesday, and another fire in the park started around 2 a.m. Thursday.

The blaze in the borough’s “most ancient forest” was the latest in a series of brush fires in the metro area amid record drought conditions.

At least two brush fires broke out at an upper Manhattan park, FDNY officials said, one of which was not yet under control as of Wednesday evening.

A massive brushfire spanning northern New Jersey and New York broke out earlier this week, torching more than 7,000 acres along Greenwood Lake’s eastern edge, according to News 12 New Jersey. That blaze, known as the Jennings Creek fire, is only 30% contained.
