The temporary ban on open flames and fireworks in New York City was lifted on Dec. 9, following recent rainfall, according to New York City Mayor Eric Adams, Fire Department of the City of New York Commissioner Robert Tucker, and New York City Department of Parks and Recreation Commissioner Sue Donoghue. People may grill again, and any permit holder who previously requested to have fireworks displays or open flames can update their permit.
New York City remained in a drought warning as upstate reservoirs were still low.
