Massachusetts Faces Multiple Brush Fires Amid Ongoing Dry Conditions
Multiple brush fires are currently raging across Massachusetts, with significant incidents reported in Salem, Middleton, and Millbury. Crews are working tirelessly to control these fires, which have created a smoky haze affecting air quality in and around Boston. Among the fires, a large blaze in Salem has burned over 100 acres and has persisted for several days, contributing to a troubling air quality situation. Tragically, a woman was found deceased following a small brush fire in Millbury, and officials are investigating the circumstances surrounding this incident as well as another fatal outdoor fire nearby. Residents across Eastern Massachusetts are advised to take precautions due to the ongoing wildfire smoke, which is trapped near the ground, and to be aware of the potential of further fire outbreaks as windy and dry conditions persist.
