Mayor Eric Adams lifted the ban on open flames and legal fireworks following recent rainfall.
The mayor’s office is saying that rainfall reduced the fire risk in the city. The ban, originally implemented due to a record number of fires, had prevented barbecues and firework displays in parks like Van Cortlandt Park.
While some Bronx residents welcome the change, others remain cautious, citing ongoing concerns about fires.
Permit holders impacted by the ban can now update their permits to include open flames or fireworks displays. The city remains under a drought warning, and officials urge New Yorkers to continue to conserve water.
