Between 4 PM and 9 PM, Tuesday evening, local firefighters, Arkansas Forestry Commission, assisted by Drew County deputies and OEM were on the scene of a woods fire near the Drew/Chicot County line, at Dermott.
Due to the strong changing winds, the fire continued to spread and call some area of evacuation, due to safety.
No other details are available at the time of this posting.
There were other fires on Tuesday, in other locations around the county.
Please remember we are still under a burn ban.
At approximately 2 AM, Wednesday morning, Monticello firefighters were paged out to a house fire on Luke’s Country Lane, just off of Bowser Road.
It is believed that the fire started on the back patio, spread through the back door an into the attic, before doing most of it damage in the attic area.
The residents were home at the time, and were able to escape without injury.
Monticello firefighters and MPD responded.
The fire is believed to have started in the back of the building.
The highway was blocked from approximately 6:45 until near 8:30, due to hoses and safety.
State police and ATF have been notified, as is the case with all firearms dealers situations like this
No injuries were reported, except for the rumor of a bystander several hundred foot away, passing out from the heat.
At 12:17 PM, Sunday, a fire page went out to several rural fire departments about a residence fire near the intersection of 293/278, near Selma.

The structure was a total loss.

The home was apparently vacant, and gassed to the residence was turned off, before the fire.

According to Mayor Jason Akers, “Our citizens and our first responders both deserve the best and most capable equipment available. We are proud of our Fire Department to deliver that.”
The City of Monticello enhanced its capabilities with a new addition to the fleet of fire and rescue vehicles that arrived this week for service. (more…)
Sunday, at 2:46 PM, MFD was paged to a grass fire on Cherry St. Upon arrival they found several sheds that were on fire. The grass fire had spread quickly with the high winds. Please do not burn as we are under a high fire danger. We are not under a burn ban as it can be safe to burn with common sense. Also, please ensure you have your burn permit before burning.

On Tuesday of last week, Monticello firefighters, battled the blaze at 1:07 PM in the ice and snow at the intersection of Babin Drive and Bowser Road.
After initial assessment, an attempt to roof vent was made but the fire contained in the attic had spread too rapidly. Two firemen safely evacuated the roof before it collapsed in. No injuries reported.
The structure received major damage.
Firefighters were red, dispatched to the same later that afternoon, after the fire rekindled.
At 11:15 PM on New Year’s Eve, firefighters were dispatched to a home on Rebecca Circle for a fire inside of a carport.

Later they realize their car and carport were on fire and called for firefighters.
