Jackson County, Arkansas – On Saturday afternoon, officials closed lanes on Highway 67 due to a field fire that was producing a lot of smoke.
According to Jackson County Sheriff Jason Tubbs, the wind had allowed a farmers fire to develop and even jump the highway median on Highway 67 between mile markers 87 in the northbound direction and 95 in the southbound direction near Newport.
