As firefighters continue to monitor wildfires across the state this Veterans Day weekend, residents are urged to exercise extreme caution due to Red Flag Warning conditions. The state faces strong winds and extremely dry conditions, increasing the risk for wildfires, according to the National Weather Service.

The National Weather Service issued another red flag warning for Connecticut Saturday as gusty winds and low humidity trigger an increased risk of brush fires.

A small brush fire in Connecticut spread to a home in New London County in the very early morning of Saturday, Nov. 9, authorities said. The blaze comes as firefighters across the state have warned residents about dry conditions turning the landscape into a tinderbox.
