The National Weather Service issued a red flag warning for a broad swath of the New York City metropolitan region on Tuesday, indicating that a combination of strong winds, low relative humidity and dry fuels created a significantly heightened risk of fire.

Amtrak service between New York Penn Station and New Haven, Connecticut, is suspended for the remainder of the day due to a fire near the tracks in the Bronx, according to officials.

Amtrak officials said a brush fire east of Penn Station in New York caused a power outage that interrupted train services to New Haven for the rest of Tuesday.
