The burn ban has been lifted in Izard, Lawrence, Randolph, and Stone counties, according to local authorities. This change comes as conditions have improved in those areas.
However, burn bans remain in place for Fulton and Sharp counties. Officials remind residents in those counties that all outdoor burning is strictly prohibited. Violators could face fines of up to $1,000, alongside potential jail time.
Residents are encouraged to remain cautious and adhere to any burning restrictions still in effect. For updates and more information, contact your local county judge’s office.
