Firefighters Battled Brush Fire In Prospect Park Monday Night
A brush fire burned in Prospect Park Monday night, taking firefighters over an hour to put it out.
The FDNY says a call came in about the fire near the Bartel-Pritchard Square corner of the park, near Prospect Park West and 15th Street, at about 8:20pm, and they had the fire under control at around 10pm.
Thankfully, there were no injuries reported.
As of Tuesday morning, the FDNY says the cause of the blaze remains under investigation, but a representative from Prospect Park tells us the fire was contained to a relatively small area, and that they’ve heard from the FDNY that it was “likely due to dry conditions.”
