Firefighters battled brush fires in Torrington, Hamden and Westport on Tuesday afternoon.
The fire in Torrington broke out in the area of 2202 Norfolk Road, and officials said hilly terrain made firefighting efforts difficult. Firefighters from Torrington, Drakeville and Torringford all responded and the scene was clear as of 3 p.m. There were no reports of injuries or property damage.
Fire officials in Hamden said a small brush fire broke out next to the city's Amtrak station. A fire engine responded and quickly snuffed it out.
