Manhattan is burning! Record Drought Triggers Unprecedented NYC Wildfires

Amid an unprecedented drought, New York City is witnessing wildfires within its city limits — including in Manhattan. Doug McIntyre reports that the famed island’s Inwood neighborhood has experienced two significant brush fires, with fire crews working hard to contain them. The city is in its longest dry spell since 1820, with forty-one days without rain, including a rainless October. With no rain expected in the immediate forecast, McIntyre warns that the likelihood of more urban fires in New York City remains high.
