A little fall of rain on Sunday wasn't enough to end the drought in New York City, though conditions in Brooklyn have improved slightly since a brush fire

About 100 firefighters were called to put out a two-acre brush fire in a heavily wooded section of Prospect Park in Brooklyn on Friday night, prompting officials to warn residents to stay away as they used drones to identify hot spots.

Firefighters extinguished a second brush fire in Prospect Park on Saturday, roughly a mile away from the site of Friday night’s larger blaze City Fire Department officials said. Forty smoke eaters responded to a fire near the LeFrak Center at Lakeside ice skating rink at about 2:40 p.
