Firefighters are working to extinguish a brush fire burning in Inwood Hill Park in upper Manhattan. Dry conditions in New Jersey and New York are a growing concern, not only for firefighting efforts but also for the continued availability of drinking water.

A fire on the roof of a 44-story luxury apartment building sent plumes of dark smoke into the New York City skyline.

The FDNY responded to a brush fire in Inwood Hill Park, Manhattan, that began around 3 p.m. The fire spread rapidly, sending smoke over Manhattan toward the George Washington Bridge.
