Arkansas · Burn Bans

Before

50 of Arkansas's 75 counties are under a county burn ban: Arkansas, Ashley, Bradley, Calhoun, Carroll, Chicot, Clark, Cleburne, Cleveland, Columbia, Conway, Cross, Dallas, Desha, Drew, Faulkner, Garland, Grant, Hempstead, Hot Spring, Howard, Jackson, Jefferson, Lafayette, Lee, Lincoln, Little River, Lonoke, Madison, Miller, Monroe, Montgomery, Nevada, Ouachita, Perry, Phillips, Pike, Poinsett, Polk, Pope, Prairie, Pulaski, Saint Francis, Saline, Scott, Sevier, Union, White, Woodruff and Yell. Cleburne and Yell counties were added to the list since October 7, 2026. That list is read county by county from the Arkansas Department of Agriculture Forestry Division's official Wildfire Danger and Burn Bans page, stamped as of October 10, 2026, which also rates all 75 counties at High wildfire danger. In Arkansas, county judges issue burn bans, and the page does not publish what each ban covers or when it ends: check with your county judge's office before any outdoor burning.
