On Monday, the Third Avenue Bridge, which connects New York's Bronx to Manhattan, became stuck in an open position due to the intense heat. The high temperatures caused the metal components of the bridge to expand, making it impossible to close.
In response, FDNY officers arrived at the scene in boats and used water to cool down the overheated structure. Their efforts were aimed at reducing the temperature of the metal, which had expanded significantly due to the heat.

The incident led to substantial traffic delays on one of the hottest days of the year in New York City. Commuters and drivers faced significant disruptions as the bridge remained open for several hours. Despite the challenges, the bridge was eventually cooled down and returned to its normal operation later that day, allowing traffic to resume. This event highlights the impact of extreme weather on infrastructure and the swift response of emergency services to mitigate such issues.
