PHILLIPS COUNTY SHERIFF NEWS LOG for July 11, 2018

June 21 through a portion of June 29, 2018.

Please remember to file a new burn permit for the 2018 year. If you plan on doing any burning in 2018, please file one BEFORE you start to burn. These permits are good for all of 2018 and you only have to file one a year, not every time you burn. All 2017 permits will no longer be valid after December 31, 2017. Thank you!
