A burn ban is now in effect for three area counties in north central Arkansas. The bans were put in effect Monday for Izard, Searcy and Stone counties due to dry conditions and no rain in the forecast.
Baxter County is currently not under a burn ban, but one is in effect for the city of Salesville. Outdoor burning in these areas is prohibited until a substantial amount of rain has been received.
The Arkansas Forestry Commission shows the areas of the state under a burn ban and the wildfire danger at arkfireinfo.org.
