02/09/16   Ouachita County Under Burn Ban

 

Ouachita County Judge Robbie McAdoo has place a burn ban in effect for Ouachita county. The judge says there's been several grass reported in the past several days.

McAdoo says the burn ban will remain in effect until the county receives a substantial amount of rain. Forecasters said yesterday that the state is at risk of wildfires because of dry, windy weather.

The Arkansas Forestry Commission says the entire state is at moderate risk for wildfires with burn bans in effect in seven counties.
