MONTPELIER, Vt. — The National Weather Service is warning about the dangers of brush and forest fires throughout parts of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.
The Red Flag Warnings in effect Wednesday for western Vermont runs from 11 a.m. through 6 p.m. In other areas, it runs through 7 p.m.
The weather service says the combination of gusty winds, low relative humidity and dry fuels means that any fires that develop could get out of control quickly and be difficult to contain.
Areas that will be especially susceptible to fire are those without snow cover.
