FAIRFIELD COUNTY, Conn. A fire warning has gone out for Fairfield County for most of Monday due to strong winds and dry conditions.
A "Red Flag Warning" was issued for Southern Connecticut from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Calmly tell the emergency dispatcher when you saw it and where you saw it. Stay on the telephone until the dispatcher tells you to hang up."
