New Fairfield , CT - The New Fairfield Volunteer Fire Department issued a safety advisory for early commuters, urging drivers to use caution while traveling. High winds combined with low-light conditions can significantly reduce visibility, making it difficult for motorists to see potential hazards ahead.

The department emphasized that fallen trees and downed power lines may be present and could be blocking roadways. Drivers are reminded never to touch or drive over downed power lines, as they may still be energized and extremely dangerous.
