The fire risk was elevated across the Ozarks, leading fire officials to ask the public to avoid or be especially careful with fire outdoors. The Squires Volunteer Fire Department in Douglas County warned residents via Facebook to be careful burning materials outdoors after a large brush fire on September 11 resulted in two small outbuildings being destroyed by the blaze.
