(NECN) - Red flag warnings continue to stay in effect for southern New England and central New Hampshire, a problem that has fire officials and residents on edge.
The dry conditions and heavy winds have kept the red flag warnings in effect, and burning is discouraged in the area.
Massachusetts towns targeted by last summer's tornadoes have become a prime target for the fires, after debris was left behind.
Brush fires in Milford burned about 17 acres of land, and even more land was burned in Randolph.
