Brush Fire in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park Burns 2 Acres 🔥

The fire drew almost 100 firefighters, the commissioner said. The cause was not immediately determined - NYTimes

@gemswinc

The cause could be someone smoking and not be responsible with the disposal of cigarette or joint.

Nature requires fires at times to remove dead debris.

@Soldier_Solitude Of course. Yes, I live in the Pine Barrens, a Fire Climax ecosystem. Periodic fires needed to open cones, clear brush. If my house burns down, I 'll have fewer decisions to make 😉

Though after the Pine Beetle debacle several little Pitch Pines have sprouted, cones fall apart.

@gemswinc

I certainly hope that your home doesn’t burn down!

Be careful and try to water (as much as possible) the dry areas of your yard to lessen the chance of a fire.

Be safe…

@Soldier_Solitude I'll try. Half an inch of rain last night, first in 6 or 7 weeks, hoping for more. If my house burns down, decision made: Take the money & run

Good morning, happy day!

@gemswinc

Glad to read that you have received some precipitation in your area!👍.

Hopefully, it will continue. I hope your place doesn’t burn down and I understand your sentiments of it does.

Maybe a temperate climate on the east coast will be good.

Have a good evening!!

@Soldier_Solitude That's where I am🙂 Thank you for the good wishes
