The entire state is currently at a moderate wildfire danger level, and with temperatures expected to climb well above normal this weekend, conditions could worsen. Even small sparks can lead to fast‑moving fires, so we’re asking all Arkansans to stay alert and use caution.

If you see smoke or an active fire, report it immediately by calling the Department’s dispatch line at 1‑800‑468‑8834 or contacting local authorities.

Conditions can change quickly. View current fire danger levels and burn ban information here: https://mip.agri.arkansas.gov/agtools/Forestry/Fire_Info
