The FDNY responded to a tipped portable generator at Richmond University Medical Center in West Brighton on Tuesday.
The incident was reported 11:38 a.m. outside the hospital at 355 Bard Ave., according to a spokesman for the FDNY/EMS.
The excessive heat from the last couple of days caused a minor area of blacktop in the parking area at the rear of the hospital to cave and that caused the generator to list to one side.
