MANCHESTER, N.H.- Windy conditions and low humidity contributed to brush fires across the state Thursday.

Fire crews responded to brush fires in Hopkinton, Deerfield, Chichester, Keene, Manchester and Londonderry.

In Hopkinton, a tree fell on a power line that was knocked over by the wind sparking a fire that firefighters say burned about three acres and affected roughly 15 acres near North Shore Drive.
