Active Wildfires in Connecticut
No active wildfires are currently being tracked in Connecticut.About Connecticut Wildfire Season
Connecticut's most active fire window falls in spring, from March through May, with a fall stretch in October and November that has recently turned severe in its own right. Over sixty percent of the state is forested, and that forest sits unusually close to homes and neighborhoods, giving Connecticut one of the highest wildland urban interface densities in the country. Its deciduous canopy drops leaves in two separate waves, birch and maple first, then oak and beech later, which stretches out the window when dry leaf litter is exposed. A single month in the fall of 2024 saw over two hundred wildfires, a total the state forester called unprecedented, worsened by standing dead trees left behind by recent insect and disease outbreaks.Connecticut Fire Map Today
