Arkansas wildfires

Open the live map with fires and the fire weather outlook

Every wildfire and complex in Arkansas the interagency system lists as current, largest first.

Red Flag Warnings and Fire Weather Watches from the National Weather Service. A Red Flag Warning means warm temperatures, very low humidity and strong wind are expected or occurring together, so a fire that starts will spread quickly. A Fire Weather Watch means those conditions are possible in the next day or two.

None are in force in Arkansas right now.

The Storm Prediction Center’s outlook for where wind and low humidity (elevated, critical, extremely critical) or lightning with little rain (dry thunderstorms) favor fires starting and spreading. Towns inside each area are listed, largest first.
