WATCH: Crews use helicopter to dump water on Lynn brush fire

Published Sat, 01 Mar 2025 03:59:01 GMT

Crews were at work in Lynn Monday battling what city officials described as “ongoing forest fires” within the Lynn Woods Reservation. SKY7-HD was over the scene around 3:30 p.m. where a helicopter could be collecting water and dropping it on flames as part of the fire response. The city of Lynn shared a message on social media earlier in the day Monday around 12:45 p.m. announcing that all trails north of Walden Pond within the Lynn Woods had been closed due to fires. Officials continued, saying trails will remain closed until further notices. Crews previously responded to the Lynn Woods last week as flames from a brush fire pushed close to homes in the area. While close to residential properties, fire officials said there was no immediate threat and no homes were damaged. Elsewhere in Massachusetts, other brush fires drew an emergency response Monday, including one in Lowell seen burning close to area train tracks.

Mild May, Midweek Frost!

Published Sat, 01 Mar 2025 03:59:01 GMT

We are half way through May (can you believe that?!) so how is the month shaping up so far? Warm and dry. Temperatures for the first two weeks are running nearly 4° above average with rainfall lacking by over an inch in Boston.The dry conditions this month are leading to an increased fire risk. We’ve had brush fires sparking and spreading very easily the last few days — most notably in Lynn with Friday’s fire reigniting today. With little change in the weather pattern ahead, we have a fire weather watch in effect for both Tuesday and Wednesday across southern New England.Tomorrow will be another warm day (actually warmer than today) and the wind will pick up as well, adding to that fire risk. We’ll see wind gusts tomorrow near 30 mph.Like I said earlier, there’s not much change in the forecast so expect more warm air this week. We have one cool day in the middle of the week but other than that the mild air will dominate all the way into next weekend.Rai...
