Arkansas Wildfire Contained, Damage Assessed | Little Rock News

A wildfire in Union County, Arkansas, scorched 2,002 acres but is now fully contained—thanks to coordinated efforts from the forestry division, sheriff’s office, emergency management, and the National Guard. No homes were lost, no injuries reported, and air quality has returned to normal. However, a burn ban remains in place due to high fire risk. While taller trees survived, younger pines under 30 feet suffered significant damage. Experts say soil, water, and wildlife habitats should recover over time. The blaze underscores the region’s extreme dryness and rising wildfire danger across multiple counties—stay vigilant and heed burn bans.
