Good thing we're supposed to get some rain Wednesday
BostonTimelapse looked out of his South Boston window towards the Blue Hills Reservation around 7:50 tonight and saw the red-hued smoke from brush fires south of the park. He reports that an hour later, the fires, or at least the glow from them, had died down. The National Weather service is still calling for "much needed widespread, meaningful rain late Wed night into Thu."
Disappointed in the lack of public #environmental response to fire in #ProspectPark where are the protests in #Inwood?

DoomsdaysCW#InwoodPark Ablaze as #BrushFires Reach Historic Levels Across #NYC
Firefighters have responded to more than 200 brush fires in the past two weeks, including nearly two dozen in #VanCortlandtPark in The Bronx, as the city reckons with an historically dry and fiery season.

‘We Could Smell It From Our Apartment’
"The recent brush fires over a historically dry stretch included two separate ones over four days in wooded parts of the Bronx’s sprawling Van Cortlandt Park that have local residents and officials concerned about what could be coming before significant rain finally arrives.
"'Remarkably dry conditions in October and so far in November have resulted in a historic amount of brush fires over the last two weeks,' FDNY Commissioner Robert Tucker said in a statement on Wednesday, hours before another brush fire erupted in Inwood Hill Park. 'Due to a significant lack of rainfall, the threat of fast spreading brush fires fueled by dry vegetation and windy conditions pose a real threat to our members and our city."

Dangerous air quality hits New York as brush fires erupt in #Northeast
Firefighters battled brush fires in #NewJersey and Brooklyn.

November 9, 2024,
"#NewYorkCity officials issued an air quality alert Saturday morning amid several #brushfires burning in the U.S. northeast, including one in #Brooklyn's largest park the previous night.
The city's Office of Emergency Management said the Air Quality Index (#AQI) is forecast to reach 101-150 on Saturday. Under those conditions, the air is not safe for people with sensitive breathing issues and the elderly, according to the federal government's #AirNow resource."

NonilexZachary Iscol, the city’s commissioner of emergency management, said #NYC had been seeing an uptick in #BrushFires, which should be taken seriously because there had been so little rain.
NYC was put under a #drought watch on Nov2. Iscol said he expected that a drought warning, a higher level of caution, was coming next, given #weather experts were anticipating a dry Nov & Dec in the region.
“This is something that we need to get ahead of,” he said, urging New Yorkers to conserve water.
