Fire District in Southwest Louisiana Asking Residents to Refrain from Burning

On September 27, 2022, Beauregard Parish Fire District 4 asked citizens of Beauregard and surrounding areas to not conduct control burns, rubbish fires, or debris removal fires for the next few days. The Fire District warned that the area has not had any rain for 2 weeks, and now the humidity has dropped with the arrival of this cold front. They said that they have had a sharp increase in grass and wood fires over the last few days as a result.

The Fire Marshall’s Office has investigated 4 deaths this year that were the result of people burning trash and the fire got away from them and resulted in the death of another. Beauregard Parish Fire District 4 has asked residents to be safe and save their burning for wetter weather.
