🛑🔥🛑 Please avoid any outdoor burning due to low humidity and strong winds 🛑🔥🛑

Arkansas will see elevated fire danger statewide on Tuesday due to low relative humidity, above-normal temperatures, and strong winds. We urge all Arkansans to avoid any outdoor burning. Even a small spark can quickly turn into a wildfire under these conditions.

The entire state is currently at a moderate wildfire risk, with several northern and northwestern counties at high risk.

Burn bans are in effect for: Benton, Boone, Carroll, Cleburne, Hempstead, Independence, Johnson, Lafayette, Madison, Searcy, Sharp, Van Buren, and White counties.

Conditions can change quickly. View current fire danger levels and burn ban information here:
