There were no injuries.

FDNY said that from Oct. 29 to Nov. 12, its personnel battled 229 brush fires – the most in a two-week period in the city’s history.

“Remarkably dry conditions in October and so far in November have resulted in an historic amount of brush fires over the last two weeks, and we need the public to remain vigilant,” said FDNY Commissioner Robert Tucker.
