FDNY Commissioner Robert Tucker is urging New Yorkers to exercise caution as the city faces an unusual dry period, leading to an alarming rise in brush fires.

The FDNY has responded to nearly 230 brush fires in the past two weeks, from Oct. 29 to Nov. 12. This marks the highest number of brush fires recorded in a two-week period in city history.

The Bronx has been hit hardest, with 67 fires, while Queens and Brooklyn have reported more than 50 each. Manhattan recorded two dozen fires, including a blaze that crews battled in Inwood Hill Park Wednesday night.

“These fires are dangerous, and we’ve certainly had a lot of them,” Tucker said during an interview on “Mornings On 1” Thursday. He said that the fires have posed “some unique challenges for our firefighters.”

Dry conditions, combined with windy weather and no rain forecast for at least another week, have created an environment ripe for brush fires. Tucker said the FDNY is investigating the incidents for potential patterns, but no clear connection has been identified.

“Our fire marshals are investigating all of these fires,” Tucker said. “Right now, we haven’t seen a pattern, but the firefighters and our EMTs and paramedics are out there for long periods of time in very dangerous conditions.”

Tucker predicts more blazes will occur before the next rainfall, but expressed confidence in the FDNY’s ability to handle the fires.

“I think we’re going to see a couple more before we get rain,” Tucker said. “I run the greatest fire department in the world, and I’m not worried that we can’t handle it. We are very prepared to handle it. We put more brush fire units into service. Our firefighters train for all sorts of unusual occurrences in New York City -- brush fires being one.”

In a public service announcement Wednesday, Tucker stressed key safety tips for New Yorkers to help mitigate the fire risk and reiterated that people should avoid using any type of flame inside city parks and near large areas of dry vegetation.

“Please don’t throw your cigarettes away,” he said. “There’s no smoking in the parks usually, but if you are, please put them out and make sure they’re out. Please don’t barbecue in the park and stay on the paths.”
