The town of Fairfield has banned “all outdoor fires” in response to Gov. Ned Lamont’s State of Emergency declaration due to extremely dry conditions across the state.

In a Facebook post, the town states that the local ban includes “firepits, chimineas, open burns or any previously permitted fires.”

“Effective immediately, the Fairfield Fire Marshal has issued a ban on ALL outdoor fires in the Town of Fairfield to align with the State of Emergency declaration from the State of Connecticut and the Red Flag Warnings that have been issued by the National Weather Service,” the communication, which was also emailed to residents, reads.

The tri-state area has been severely affected by dry conditions over the last two months.

On Tuesday, New York City’s Central Park received the first measurable rain in October, breaking a 29-day rain-free streak. According to CBS New York’s Tony Sadiku, the rain-free October marks the city’s second-longest dry streak on record.

Fairfield University North Benson’s campus also experienced this dry streak until it rained on the night of Oct. 29. A weather station in the Bannow Science Center measured 0.01 of precipitation accumulated.

According to the station’s data, Tuesday’s showers marked the first time it rained at Fairfield University since Sept. 29.

With no significant rain expected in the forecast and the possibility of near-record highs on Halloween, the town is asking residents to adhere to the ban and “remain extremely vigilant and report any signs of brush fires immediately by dialing 9-1-1.”
