We remain und

The entire state remains at high risk for wildfire, and burn bans are in place for 50 counties. Ongoing very dry conditions are expected through the week, and elevated wildfire potential will likely persist for several more weeks. We urge Arkansans to stay aware of these conditions and use caution. Even in counties not currently under a burn ban, the risk of fires escaping and becoming severe remains high.

As we move into the holiday weekend, we want to remind everyone of the elevated fire risk. All of Cleveland County remains under a burn ban, so please refrain from any outdoor burning.

We hope everyone has a safe weekend and a Happy Labor Day!
