Fire District in Southwest Louisiana Asking Residents to Refrain from Burning

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.
