LITTLE ROCK (AP) - Only a dozen of
Arkansas' 75 counties have burn bans left in effect after the remnants
of Hurricane Isaac dumped rain on parts of the state.
Much of Arkansas has seen burn bans this summer because of the drought.
According to the Arkansas
Forestry Commission's website, there are burn bans in effect in Clay,
Crittenden, Cross, Lee, Prairie, Phillips and St. Francis counties in
the eastern part of the state. In western Arkansas, there are burn bans
in Hempstead, Little River, Logan, Madison and Sebastian counties.
Officials are encouraging
people to obey the bans and use care with any outdoor activity that may
spark a fire, including lawn mowing.
