Brush fire danger continues in Conn.

There was a brush fire in Southbury yesterday afternoon.  Southbury Fire Department responded to the Tepi Road area around 4:30pm. Because of the rough, rocky terrain officials say additional help was requested from Sandy Hook and Roxbury Fire Departments. The fire was extinguished quickly and no injuries were reported.

 

New Milford Fire Marshall Kevin Reynolds says the fire danger again today is High.  No outside burning is allowed, as burn permits are not valid at this level.  Residents are asked to use caution with charcoal from grills and with any smoking materials.
