Burn Ban

10/16/2024

Parish President Jessie Bellard has signed an executive order issuing a Burn Ban for the Parish starting October 15, 2024 and will be in effect until further notice.  The ban applies to all activities involving an open flame that produces embers.  Agricultural burning can continue as long as it is approved by the Department of Agriculture, and Fire Districts are notified.  This decision was put in place based on the recommendation of the state climatologist.  For more information, call the St. Landry Parish Government at 337-948-3688.
