The Allen Parish Sheriff’s Office announced on March 9 that the burn ban in Allen Parish has been lifted. The decision comes after recent weather events and with the agreement of local fire chiefs.
The lifting of the burn ban is significant for residents who have been restricted from outdoor burning due to previous dry conditions. Authorities say the change was made possible by improved weather, which has reduced fire risk in the area.
In a statement, officials said, “Due to the recent weather events, and the consent of the fire chiefs in the areas. The burn ban has been lifted.” They also reminded residents to remain cautious when conducting any outdoor burning activities.
No additional background information or future steps were provided in the announcement.
