A Connecticut firefighter died and two others were injured Tuesday when a vehicle rolled over as they were battling a 90-acre brush fire, authorities said.
The Wethersfield firefighter was among crews from several towns trying to extinguish the blaze on Lamentation Mountain in Berlin, about 15 miles (24 kilometers) south of Hartford. Their name was not immediately released.
Berlin Fire Chief John Massirio said the firefighter was riding in a utility task vehicle on a trail when it rolled over near the Meriden town line. The cause was under investigation.
