SUMMARY: Several wildfires are currently burning across the state due to ongoing dry conditions. Crews have already responded to three fires this morning, including one near Mount Ida in the Ouachita National Forest. Emergency Director Robert Murphy reports that 115 wildfires have affected over 1,200 acres in recent weeks, emphasizing the importance of fire prevention. With over half the state under a burn ban, he advises limiting activities that could spark fires and keeping fire safety equipment handy. Residents are urged to report any wildfires to 911 or the state’s 24-hour dispatch center.

As we continue to see dry conditions across Arkansas, not only are the number of burn bans increasing but so is the risk of wildfires popping up.
