Crews are working around the clock to contain and extinguish several brush fires reported across the state. Governor Ned Lamont declared a state of emergency due to critical fire weather conditions.

As multiple agencies respond to brush fires across Connecticut on Saturday morning, emergency crews are still battling a six-day brush fire in Berlin. Firefighters also responded to a brush fire on Ayers Mountain, where access was challenging as firefighters could only get to the area on foot.

Fire officials said hot ash from an abandoned campfire is likely what sparked a massive brush fire that started in Berlin on Monday night. Firefighters continue to work around the clock to battle the Hawthorne Fire for a fifth day.

Officials are again asking people to abide by the temporary flight restriction that's in order near the fire so it doesn't hamper operations.
