A red flag warning is in effect for all of Connecticut Wednesday as a massive blaze has grown at Lamentation Mountain in Berlin and Meriden.

BERLIN (Tribune News Service) — A large brush fire burning on Lamentation Mountain that resulted in the death of a firefighter now is believed to cover some 125 acres, as dry, windy conditions threaten to overwhelm a containment area first responders had established, Connecticut officials said Wednesday.

After more than two days of burning, the Berlin brush fire has grown to roughly 125 acres in size, according to officials on scene Wednesday. When it first started Monday evening, officials estimated it was roughly 10 to 15 acres.
