Dozens of fires still burn in US Northeast but California fire is under relative control
Associated Press
The Northeast is keeping a wary eye on dozens of fires that killed at least one person and continue to burn amid very dry weather. Much larger and more destructive fires have come under relative control in California. Firefighters in Massachusetts worked Tuesday to contain several fires as strong winds and drought conditions continued. The National Weather Service issued a red flag warning for much of the state and parts of Connecticut. The warning means conditions are critical and fires could rapidly spread. New York’s governor announced fire restrictions Tuesday that are in effect through the end of November.
