⚠️🔥 Wildfire risk continues to climb across Arkansas, with all 75 counties now at moderate risk or higher, and 68 counties under active burn bans as of 8/19/26.

Dry conditions have spread quickly in recent weeks, and forecasters expect above-normal fire potential across southern and eastern Arkansas through the rest of August.

A few things to keep in mind as conditions stay dry:
🔥 Check for a burn ban in your county before doing any outdoor burning
🏡 Homeowners near wildland areas can find defensible space tips through Firewise USA
🌲 Forest landowners should plan for a shorter prescribed burn season this fall
🚒 Volunteer fire departments should prepare for increased call volume

Numbers to Save:
📞 Report a wildfire: 1-800-468-8834
📋 Report a prescribed burn before ignition: 1-800-830-8015

For the most up-to-date, county-by-county risk levels and burn ban status, check the Arkansas Department of Agriculture 's new wildfire dashboard here: https://nifc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/34991c7fefb64ad7a89cb3905d1c6398
