Gov. Maura Healey and Massachusetts Fire Service leaders are asking residents to refrain from any outdoor activity that could cause or contribute to brush and wildland fires as the containment of the fires continues.

“As we confront an unprecedented fall fire season, I’m asking all our residents to protect themselves, their neighbors and their communities by refraining from any outdoor activities that involve open flames, sparks and embers or other heat sources,” Healey said.

As of Sunday night, 87 brush and wildland fires had been reported in the preceding seven days, burning about 483 acres. The tally includes four new fires reported in the previous 24 hours.

Army Aviation helicopters from the from the Massachusetts Army National Guard have repeatedly conducted water drop operations.

The Department of Conservation & Recreation’s Bureau of Forest Fire Control and Forestry is assisting local fire departments with monitoring all active incidents, DCR fire towers are on full alert, and a temporary ban has been implemented on all open flame and charcoal fires at Massachusetts state parks.

Citing that ongoing danger to firefighters and residents, the Fire Chiefs Association of Massachusetts has recommended that all local fire chiefs deny any fire-related permit requests and collaborate with local officials to prohibit any recreational fire activity.

Some of the significant fires include:

• Cain Hill (Salem/Lynn): 140 acres, 50% contained
• Middleton Pond (Middleton): 188 acres, 70% contained
• Pappas (Canton): 33 acres, 90% contained
• Wolcott Hill / Blue Hills Reservation (Milton): 4 acres, 70% contained
• Curry 24 (Devens): 100 acres, 99% contained
• Maple Meadow (Wilmington): 10 acres, 70% contained
• Mt. Laurel (Holden): 6 acres, 95% contained
• Traders Way (Salem): 15 acres, 50% contained
• Old Forest Road (North Andover): 5 acres, 50% contained
• Bradway (Monson): 44 acres, 90% contained
• Castle Rock (Saugus): 22 acres, 80% contained
• Pond South (Middleton): 4 acres, 60% contained
• Fitzgerald (Northampton): 55 acres, 85% contained
• Moose Meadow (Montgomery): 60 acres, 20% contained
• Howe (Spencer): 9 acres, 80% contained

With no precipitation, winds of 5 to 10 mph, fresh leaf litter and direct sunlight on surface fuels, the outdoor fire risk remains very high Monday.

Residents are asked to use extreme caution, including:

• Remember that open burning is prohibited statewide through January and in many communities year-round.
• Refrain from outdoor cooking and heating. Sparks and embers from chimineas, fire pits, and grills can easily ignite dry vegetation, debris, and overhanging branches.
• Use caution with lawnmowers, leaf blowers, all-terrain vehicles, and other power equipment. Hot engines, sparks, and spilled gasoline can ignite dry leaves and grass.
• Dispose of ashes from fireplaces and wood stoves in a metal can, douse them with water, and cover them with a tight-fitting lid. These ashes can remain hot enough to ignite combustibles long after the fire goes out: never dump them outdoors or in the trash.
• Extinguish smoking materials in a sturdy ashtray with water or sand. Never toss cigarette butts, matches, or other smoking materials over the edge of a balcony, stub them out on stairs or railings, or toss them in dry vegetation or debris.
