Firefighters responded to a small brush fire earlier today at 15th Avenue and 38th Street, near 38th Park.

The fire, sparked by fireworks, was quickly contained, with no major damage or injuries reported.

This incident comes amidst a recent surge of brush fires in NYC, with over 300 reported in the past few weeks, including a significant one just yesterday in Washington Heights near the FDR Drive. The city is currently under a drought warning, with outdoor fire bans and increased precautions in place.
