DEEP Reminds Residents and Visitors to Exercise Caution During Fall Wildfire Season
(HARFORD, CT) – The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) reminds residents and visitors to our state that the typical fall wildfire season in Connecticut runs from October through the first widespread snowfall. During this period, dry weather and windy conditions, in combination with fallen leaves and increased sunlight reaching and warming the forest floor, can elevate the likelihood of a wildfire. Almost all wildfires are caused by humans and are therefore preventable. Maintaining awareness of fire danger and observing appropriate precautions are things that everyone can do to minimize the likelihood of starting a dangerous wildfire.
