A string of fires that appeared to be intentionally set once again broke out in Central Park early Monday, authorities said.  

The fires — which were the second series of suspicious blazes in the park this month — started around 2:35 a.m. in the park’s wooded Ramble across from Bow Bridge, police said. 

Patrol officers were able to douse the blazes using fire extinguishers and buckets, cops said.       

An FDNY spokesman said they believe someone set the fires, though it wasn’t clear if they were set by the same person who lit fires on both sides of the park’s nearby West Drive in the first week of March.

FDNY firefighters battled several small fires during the early morning of March 21, 2022.
