WARREN, Ark. – Bradley County residents are now under a burn ban, effective August 28, 2023, following Warren, the county seat, which imposed a burn ban on Saturday morning. Despite cooler temperatures on Monday, dry conditions persist across South Arkansas.
The decision to implement a county-wide Burn Ban was made by Bradley County Judge Klay McKinney in collaboration with local authorities and the Bradley County Fire Department. The ban encompasses all open burning activities, including bonfires, trash burning, and fireworks.
The primary concern driving this decision is the ongoing dry spell in the region, increasing the risk of wildfires. Bradley County officials urge residents and businesses to comply with the ban to prevent fire incidents that could damage property and natural landscapes.
Local emergency services are closely monitoring the situation and are prepared to respond to any fire-related incidents during the burn ban.
Residents are encouraged to stay updated on the burn ban status and cooperate with local authorities to ensure safety until conditions improve. Bradley County officials will reassess the ban as weather conditions change.
