Hundreds of Fire Department of New York (FDNY) firefighters responded last Friday to a brush fire that went to five alarms in the neighborhood of Oakwood Beach on Staten Island.

Pictures by fire photographer Steve White showed FDNY units training hoselines onto flames in the middle of what appears to be a very dry patch of land.

According to the Staten Island Advance, 44 units and approximately 200 FDNY members battled for more than three hours to contain the fire.

No firefighters or civilians were injured as a result of the fire and no homes were damaged, the report said.
