🔥 Structure Fire Response 🔥

On Saturday, June 6, at approximately 9:05 p.m., the Heber Springs Fire Department was dispatched to a residential structure fire in the 2600 block of Riverbend Road.

Engine 1, Engine 2, and additional off-duty personnel responded to the scene. Assistance was provided by Survival Flight EMS Units 257 and 350, the Tumbling Shoals/Ida Fire Department, and the Wilburn Fire Department.

Firefighters worked quickly to bring the fire under control and prevent further damage to the structure. Thankfully, all occupants were able to safely evacuate the residence prior to the arrival of emergency crews, and no injuries were reported.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation at this time.

We would like to thank our mutual aid partners and EMS personnel for their assistance and continued commitment to serving our community.

Today, we honor the men and women who gave everything in service to our country. Memorial Day is more than a long weekend, it is a time to remember the sacrifice of those who never made it home and the families who continue to carry that loss every day.

Their courage, selflessness, and dedication to protecting others will never be forgotten. Because of them, we enjoy freedoms that so many paid the ultimate price to defend.

As we spend time with family and friends today, take a moment to reflect, remember, and honor our fallen heroes.

🇺🇸 “All gave some, some gave all.” 🇺🇸

🚫 Burn Ban Update 🚫

The burn ban for Cleburne County has been lifted.

While we did receive some rainfall, totals were very minimal and any moisture will dry out quickly. Please keep in mind that the entire state of Arkansas is still under a moderate wildfire risk.

We ask that you avoid burning unless it is absolutely necessary and use extreme caution with any outdoor burning.

Stay safe and please share.

🚫 Burn Ban Reminder 🚫

Yes, it is currently raining, but Cleburne County is still under a burn ban at this time. We will notify everyone as soon as the ban is lifted.

While the rain is helpful, we still need significantly more to improve ongoing drought conditions. Once the rain stops and we get a day or two of sunshine, things dry out very quickly.

Please continue to avoid any outdoor burning.

03/30/2026

🚫 Burn Ban Reminder 🚫

Cleburne County remains under a burn ban. Absolutely no open burning is allowed.

Wildfire risk is expected to be even higher tomorrow, Tuesday, March 31st. Please use extreme caution and help us prevent unnecessary fires.

Please help us keep our community safe.

A combination of sustained winds between 10 to 15 mph, wind gusts of 20 to 30 mph (35+ mph in the higher terrain) coupled with continued dry conditions and dry fuels will lead to an elevated wildfire danger on Tuesday, especially Tuesday afternoon.

03/28/2026

🚫 Burn Ban Reminder 🚫

Even though our area has received some rainfall today, amounts were minimal and have not significantly reduced fire danger. Cleburne County remains under a burn ban at this time.

Please remember:
• No outdoor burning is allowed
• Conditions are still dry enough for fires to spread quickly
• Help protect your property and our community by following the ban

We appreciate everyone doing their part to stay safe. Please share.
