🚫Effective 8-28-2026🚫

Cleburne County is now under a burn ban due to dry conditions and increased wildfire danger.

🔥 All outdoor burning should cease until the burn ban is lifted.

Burn Ban Reminder

🔥 Cleburne County remains under a burn ban. 🔥

Even though we received some much needed rain yesterday, it was not enough to significantly improve conditions. Our area remains extremely dry, and the risk of fire remains high.

Please continue to avoid outdoor burning until conditions improve and the burn ban is lifted.

Extreme Heat & Dry Conditions = Increased Fire Danger

With extremely hot and dry conditions across our area, the risk of grass, brush, and wildfire increases significantly. Please use extra caution and help prevent a fire before it starts.

🚬 Never throw ci******es or cigarette butts out of vehicle windows. Dry grass and vegetation can ignite quickly from a discarded cigarette.

🌿 Keep trailers, vehicles, and equipment away from dry grass and brush when possible. Ensure trailer safety chains are not dragging the ground, this can cause sparks and start fires.

⚡ Be cautious with anything that can create sparks or heat.

🚗 Never park vehicles on dry grass. Hot exhaust components can start a fire.

💧 Keep water and fire extinguishing equipment nearby when performing outdoor work.

A small spark can quickly become a large wildfire under these conditions.

Please help us protect our community, homes, property, and natural resources. Stay safe and prevent a fire before it starts.

All 75 counties in Arkansas are now at a Moderate Wildfire Risk.

The Heber Springs Fire Department strongly recommends avoiding outdoor burning unless absolutely necessary. Even under moderate conditions, dry vegetation and changing weather conditions can allow fires to spread quickly.

If you do burn, use extreme caution and never leave a fire unattended.

All 75 Arkansas counties are currently at a moderate wildfire risk, and 23 counties have active burn bans. At the moderate level, fires that may have been routine a month ago can ignite more easily, spread faster, and require more resources to control. With excessive heat and dry conditions moving into the state, we expect fire risk to continue increasing.

We are urging all Arkansans to avoid outdoor burning, postpone any activities that could create sparks, secure trailer chains, avoid parking on dry grass, and follow all county burn bans and local restrictions.

Report any wildfire immediately to the Department’s Forestry Dispatch at 1‑800‑468‑8834.

You can monitor conditions on the Department’s county‑by‑county wildfire map and follow us on social media for ongoing updates.
