| episode_narrative | Dry weather continued into the second week of October. The lack of rainfall, low humidities, and unusually warm temperatures permitted favorable conditions for the development of wildfires. |
| event_narrative | A wildfire began about a mile south of Traskwood during the morning hours of the 10th. The fire escaped containment lines during the afternoon and spread considerably, eventually burning 486 acres. At least 21 fire departments fought the fire, along with the Arkansas Forestry Commission. Equipment deployed by the Forestry Commission included eight bulldozers and four air tankers. Two additional bulldozers were provided by a timber company. As the fire grew and threatened structures, Saline County declared a disaster and requested the assistance of the Arkansas National Guard. Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe approved the use of the Guard, and a helicopter was deployed to drop water on the fire. The governor went to the fire. As the fire threatened residences, approximately 575 people were evacuated from the Traskwood, Martin Cutoff, and Holly Creek townships. The Red Cross set up a shelter at the Harmony Grove High School in Haskell. Smoke from the fire spread across Benton, Bryant, and Bauxite in Saline County, and eventually spread into the Little Rock area in Pulaski County. The fire was contained on the evening of the 10th and the evacuees returned to their homes. One old barn was damaged and power was knocked out to some areas. No injuries occurred. Forestry Commission investigators indicated that the blaze was likely started by an arsonist. Ash from the fire fell at the National Weather Service office in North Little Rock, about 35 miles from the fire. |
