FIRE DANGER ALERT – HIGH

Guilford, CT – Tuesday, March 7, 2025

The forest fire danger level is HIGH today. Breezy conditions combined with dry air increase the risk of rapid fire spread. Please take extra precautions to prevent wildfires!

No Open Burning – Open burning is not allowed under high fire danger conditions. Even small sparks can ignite dry vegetation.

Be Cautious with Outdoor Activities – Avoid using fire pits, grills, or any open flames near dry brush. Properly dispose of smoking materials—never toss them on the ground.

Wind & Dry Conditions – Gusty winds can quickly carry embers, making fire control difficult. Stay alert and report any signs of smoke or fire immediately.

Help Us Keep Guilford Safe! If you see an unattended fire or suspicious smoke, call 911 right away.

Let’s work together to prevent wildfires and protect our community! Stay safe and fire-aware.

Thankfully, the situation was quickly mitigated with no active fire and no injuries or damage. Later that night, we were called out to cover in Easy Haven while they had a significant incident.

From Branford Fire Department in light of a recent fire in our town. As the cold temperatures continue, please follow these recommendations for the proper disposal of fireplace ash:

🔥 Allow the fire to burn out completely.

🔥 Always let fireplace ashes cool completely before handling them. Hot embers may be present in ash for several days post fire.

🔥Use a metal bucket with a tight-fitting metal lid to collect ashes. Never use plastic, paper, or cardboard containers.

🔥 Place the ash container on a non-combustible surface, at least ten feet (10') away from your house and any combustible materials, such as wood, paper, or cloth. The ashes should be left in the ash container for a minimum of four days.

🔥Proper disposal of fireplace ash can help prevent accidental fires protecting your home and community.
