Burn bans have taken over the majority of Arkansas counties and officials say this warning should be taken very seriously.
“Even if you're not under a burn ban, red flag warnings indicate that wind and low humidity could create an out of control wildfire in a matter of moments,” said Adriane Barnes, with the Arkansas Forestry Commission.
For example, two separate wildfires were reported in northwest Arkansas Sunday, along Arkansas Highway 21, on the north side of Boxley Valley. The forest fires combined burned close to 100 acres of private and national park lands.
