Firefighters Respond to Possum 2 Fire in Shannon County
Firefighters are actively suppressing the Possum 2 Fire in Shannon County amid dry autumn conditions. Wildfire activity across Missouri remains limited overall, with no critical fire-weather alerts in effect. Several southern counties continue to enforce open burning bans due to dry ground cover.
Key Fires
- Possum 2 Fire — Crews are engaged in initial attack on the fire in Shannon County after satellite sensors detected active perimeters. No evacuations or road closures are reported, but dry forest litter keeps local ignition risk elevated.
Conditions and Outlook
No Red Flag Warnings or Fire Weather Watches are active across Missouri, and significant fire potential remains low statewide. Over the next several days, southern Missouri will experience mild daytime temperatures, light winds, and low humidity levels. Cloud cover will increase toward the end of the week, but rain chances remain negligible.
Burn Bans and Land Management
Countywide burn bans remain in effect until further notice across Shannon, Dallas, and Ozark counties, while Christian County enforces a ban through mid-November. In Missouri State Parks, campfires must stay confined to provided fire rings or grills, and open trash burning is prohibited. The Missouri Department of Conservation is hosting prescribed fire training workshops for landowners in Greenfield on October 27 and near Troy on November 11.
What Residents Should Do
- Follow all local burn bans and postpone outdoor debris burning.
- Drown campfires thoroughly with water until all embers and coals are cold to the touch.
- Avoid parking vehicles or dragging trailer chains over dry roadside grass.
