Emergency crews battled brush fires across Connecticut on Monday and Tuesday as the state remained at a “very high” forest fire danger risk due to dry weather conditions.

Firefighters were working at a large brush fire that started Monday night on Lamentation Mountain in Berlin. The fire is east of Sea Green Drive and Bannon Lane moving northeast at a slow rate of speed, according to the Berlin Fire Department.

Overnight operations were paused due to dangerous conditions and resumed on Tuesday morning, officials said.

“We’ve been monitoring it all night and probably be monitoring it throughout tonight as well and continue to make sure everybody is safe. We got some crews rotating out today and we’re trying to go as easy as we can on everybody,” said Berlin Fire Chief Jeff Pajor during a press conference Tuesday morning. “DEEP is really leading the charge up there in terms of wilderness firefighting.”

Despite the fire being between 10 and 15 acres, there is no threat to buildings or people, and no evacuations have been made, Pajor said. In addition, no firefighters have been injured fighting the blaze.

Additional resources were called in from Newington, Wethersfield, Rocky Hill, Cromwell and Meriden. Crews said they expect the fire to be “prolonged,” and that it will take multiple days to contain. A no-fly restriction has been issued for the area, according to officials.

Other towns including Burlington and Vernon have also reported large brush fires due to prolonged dry conditions.

The Burlington Fire Department reported a brush fire Saturday behind Burlwood Drive, Sherman Drive and Stafford Road. On Monday afternoon, fire crews reported another large brush fire in a wooded area on Covey Road near Hotchkiss Road.

“At both locations, there were signs of previous campfire activity,” Burlington Fire Department said in a statement. “We remind the public that the fire danger is VERY HIGH and the current drought conditions are extreme. Open burning under these conditions is prohibited. Your vigilance is appreciated, and your safety is our top priority. Our crews along with our mutual aid partners from Canton Fire, Farmington Fire, Harwinton Fire, Harwinton Westside, Nepaug Fire and Tunxis Hose have all worked tirelessly over the past four days keeping the community safe.”

The Vernon Fire Department also responded to a large brush fire on Reservoir Road just south of the Interstate 84 corridor in the northeast section of town on Monday, according to fire officials. Fire crews said special equipment including tankers were used throughout the afternoon into the evening to put out the flames.

Vernon firefighters requested mutual aid from neighboring towns and the Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection responded to the scene to assist as well. No firefighters were injured fighting the fire, Vernon officials said.

“A total of 9 acres burned and was brought under control in just about three hours. Crews remained on the scene for several more hours. The fire continues to smolder and produce smoke but has a secure perimeter,” according to the Vernon Fire Department.

As of Tuesday, all of Connecticut’s eight counties were considered at “very high” forest fire danger risk, according to the daily report issued by DEEP.

“It is unusual to have it as dry as it has been over a prolonged period, you have to go back to the end of August before we had any significant rain throughout Connecticut,” AccuWeather senior meteorologist Tom Kines said. “If anybody is looking for a significant amount of rain, it’s definitely not happening for a while. There’s some signs that at the end of the month there could be a front that brings some beneficial rain. But until then we’re pretty much high and dry.”

The state saw historic flooding in August that brought torrential downpours and caused widespread damage. Since then, it has been a relatively dry fall season, according to Kines. Since the start of the autumnal equinox on Sept. 22, there has not been significant precipitation.

Hartford County has seen the least amount of rain with 0.69 inches of rainfall over the last month, according to precipitation data from the National Weather Service. During the same period from Aug. 24 through Sept. 24, Hartford County saw 8.07 inches of rain. The normal average for Hartford County this time of year is just over four inches of rain.

According to the state’s Department of Agriculture drought monitor, most of the state is experiencing “abnormally dry” conditions. If dry conditions persist, this will be elevated to a “moderate drought.”

“Most of our rainfall we get in the summer is from thunderstorms, we’re getting into the time of year now when we don’t really get the thunderstorms,” Kines said. “What we typically get for big rainfall this time of year are tropical systems that come north. But it doesn’t seem that it is likely a tropical form will make its way up to New England.”
