The moderate-level wildfire danger classification from the Arkansas Forestry Department sill covers Baxter and all surrounding counties but now extends across the entire northern tier of the state.Anyone looking to conduct a controlled burn in a county under a moderate wildfire danger needs to be mindful of wind speeds and low humidity. Arkansans can also check the status of wildfire dangers and burn bans throughout the state by going online to arkfireinfo.org.
The National Weather Service says there is also an elevated fire weather risk across much of Southern Missouri due to the winds and higher humidity. Specific county details are available at weather.gov/sgf/fire.
