The Washington County Burn Ban is still in effect.

Some of our area is getting a small amount of rain, but it is not enough rain for the county to lift the burn ban.

Please be aware of the danger.

Arkansas remains at an increased risk for wildfire. Sixty‑two counties are currently at high risk, and the remaining 13 are at moderate risk. Burn bans are in effect in 63 counties. Under these conditions, fires can ignite easily, spread quickly, and become serious if not addressed right away. Even small brush fires or campfires can escape.

The public is urged to avoid activities that could unintentionally start a fire and to follow all local burn restrictions. To reduce wildfire risk:

🚫Avoid outdoor debris burning.
🚫Do not discard ci******es outside.
🚫Avoid parking vehicles on dry grass.
🚫Use caution with equipment that creates sparks.
🚫Never leave any outdoor flame unattended.

Report wildfire smoke or fire immediately to Forestry Dispatch at 1‑800‑468‑8834.

All of Washington County is now under a burn ban.

Washington County Arkansas Judge Patrick Deakins has issued a county wide burn ban beginning today, August 11, at noon.

“Right now, we have to consider not only the threat of fire, but also the conditions our firefighters and other emergency responders are working in,” said Judge Deakins. With temperatures in the upper 90s and heat indexes expected to exceed 100 degrees, the risk of dehydration, heat exhaustion and heat stroke is very real. “A burn ban will not eliminate every fire, but it can reduce the number of preventable fires caused by outdoor burning. Every fire we can prevent means one less situation where we are asking our first responders to work in these extreme conditions.”

🔥 Kitchen Safety Reminder from West Fork Fire Department
Cooking fires are one of the most common causes of home fires. A quick and easy way to be prepared is to keep a lid nearby whenever you're cooking.
If a small grease fire starts: ✅ Slide a lid over the pan ✅ Turn off the burner ✅ Leave the lid in place until the pan cools
A little preparation can make a big difference. Stay safe, West Fork!
