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.
