Public notice: Rattan Volunteer Fire is not a public transportation service. That being said, we have and will help those in dire need when life safety is involved. Calling us to take you to town to get ci******es and something to eat is not considered a life safety situation. Furthermore, calling and leaving voice messages with profanity will be met with the same response, as I, Tim Eubanks, Chief of Rattan Fire Department, will not tolerate it.

It is essential to be prepared for winter weather at this time of year. Do not wait until the last minute to procure necessary supplies; ensure you have flashlights, batteries, blankets in your vehicle, medication, first aid kits, toiletries, and fuel up in anticipation of potential snow and ice.

Significant Wildland Fire Potential Outlook

The latest outlook shows elevated wildfire potential expanding across parts of the Southern Plains and Southeast as we transition from winter into early spring 2026.

Dry fuels, lingering drought conditions, and seasonal weather patterns will all play a major role — pointing toward a potentially active start to the year in these regions.

Which state do you think sees the first significant fire activity?
