An Arkansas burn ban is in place in 56 of the state’s 75 counties, and every part of the state is now in drought. The Arkansas Forestry Division’s map released today, Oct. 29, shows burn bans issued by county judges across most of the state, including 17 of the 21 counties in the ArkansasRadio.com listening area.
“The state continues to be in an unprecedented drought and is dangerously dry outside,” the Cabot Fire Department said in a public notice. The department is asking residents to avoid all outdoor burning, including any activity that could start a fire.
