State Warns Brush Fire Danger Could Last For Weeks

State officials are warning that the brush fire danger in Massachusetts could last for weeks. 

 

There were over 200 wildfires in the state during October, driven by extremely dry conditions that are expected to continue.  There were more than 100 brush and wildfires reported in the last week, and officials say those fires have charred over 600 acres of land. 

 

They also say that there has been little to no lightning during the last month, meaning nearly all of those fires have been the result of human involvement.
