Mount Riante fire in Hot Springs

About 125 acres have burned on Mount Riante in south Hot Springs off Highway 7. Residents are watching the fire to see if they will need to evacuate. The wildfire started over the weekend. Firefighters from the Arkansas Forestry Commission, U.S. Forest Service and at least six volunteer fire departments battled the wildfire Monday with three bulldozers and two single engine tankers as it moved closer to several homes and communication towers.
