event_narrativeA large wildfire burned Sunday afternoon and evening across Central Ashley county. This fire burned nearly 6000 acres just southeast of Hamburg. Four homes were burned along with two camping trailers and 2 outbuildings. This large fire caused the closing of Highway 8 for a period of time. Another wildfire developed south of Crossett. This fire actually started in Louisiana and moved into Arkansas. This fire burned nearly 2000 acres.These wildfires were the product of several months of extremely dry weather across the region. The combination of prolonged dry conditions and dead/dormant vegetation lead to high fire fuel across the region. As the fires began, low relative humidity values and strong southwest winds on Sunday, January 8th, promoted the rapid spreading of any fire.
