Storm Sparks Fire Near Burns Park | Little Rock News

A wild storm hit central Arkansas Saturday night, bringing heavy rain and strong winds—but it also sparked a grass fire near Burns Park, likely from downed power lines. Firefighters raced to contain it, while the Arkansas Forestry Division stepped in to assess firebreak needs due to lingering dry conditions. Rain was shallow and didn’t penetrate deep enough to ease the tinder-dry landscape. With Pulaski County still under a burn ban, officials urge extreme caution—every spark could ignite another blaze.
