As of today, 19 counties in southern Arkansas are at high wildfire risk, and the rest of the state remains at a moderate risk. Burn bans are now in place in 41 counties. Under these conditions, fires ignite easily, spread quickly, and can become serious. Unattended brush piles and campfires are likely to escape, and hot, dry weather will continue to push fire risk higher in the coming days.

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

Up‑to‑date conditions can be viewed on the Department’s county‑by‑county wildfire map: https://mip.agri.arkansas.gov/agtools/Forestry/Fire_Info

Join me in praying for Crawford County Deputy Robin Gaines.

Last night he was burned significantly due to running into a burning home in an attempt to save several individuals.

He’s currently in ICU.

I know him personally, he’s a good man and a father. I’ve been notified of a donation link below for his family.

This is purely to assist him in recovery.

If you aren’t able to donate, sharing the post for additional outreach helps too.

Get better soon Robin!
