FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — A mutual aid agreement is in the works between Benton and Washington counties.

The agreement is a promise from both counties to help each other during times of crisis similar to the Memorial Day weekend storms that spawned several tornadoes in Benton County.

Benton County has already entered the agreement. Washington County is still working on its end of the agreement.

In addition, Benton County says it’s also committed to helping neighboring counties to the east in Madison and Carroll counties.
