A brush fire in Upper Manhattan's Washington Heights briefly blocked traffic on Tuesday afternoon before being extinguished by emergency crews. The fire, which burned approximately 10 to 15 acres, was reported around 2:20 PM and was brought under control by 5:48 PM. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and the cause is still under investigation. This incident comes as New York faces a drought warning, with over 300 brush fires occurring across the city since October.
