The Ark City Fire Department says we received rain over the weekend, but dangerous fire conditions are forecasted for later this week. Even after rainfall, grass can dry out quickly once conditions turn warmer and drier, and muddy terrain can make firefighting efforts more challenging. Please stay aware of rapidly changing conditions as the week continues, as the risk for wildland fires is expected to be very high. Report any smoke or fire immediately by calling 911, have an evacuation plan in place, and remain alert to your surroundings.
