BROOKLYN COLLEGE–Several brush fires broke out across Brooklyn over the weekend, the latest effects of an abnormally long stretch of dry weather affecting the Northeastern United States.
Friday night, a brush fire erupted in Prospect Park near the Nethermead meadow covering approximately two acres before being put out by over 100 members of the FDNY several hours later, according to Chief Joseph Duggan, Brooklyn Borough Commander, Fire Department at a press conference.
