NWA Times reports fire marshall issues red-flag fire warning

Washington County under "red flag" fire warning
Monday, November 19, 2007 | The Washington County Fire Marshal's office on Monday placed the county under a red flag fire warning, meaning the fire threat level is high. With high winds and dry conditions, fires will start and spread rapidly. All fires will be erratic, easy to spread and difficult to control. Outdoor burning should be avoided if at all possible, according to the fire marshal. From Northwest Arkansas Times


Why not just ban burning? Is there any possible reason for outdoor burning today other than to endanger people and other living things?
