Arkansas takes proactive measure to detect wildfires
Wednesday, June 20, 2012
The Arkansas Forestry Commission is sending airplanes out to scan rural areas that may be subject to fires. The scans come a few months earlier than normal because of drought conditions in several counties. This method of scanning for wildfires helps the Forestry Commission cover a more extensive area in a shorter time. They plan to continue the scans by air until they get a substantial rainfall.
