The Washington Parish Sheriff's Office reported Thursday (August 17, 2023) night on two fires in Washington Parish - one in Franklinton and one in Angie. The State Fire Marshall has reported that a body was discovered in the remains of the home in Franklinton
The Franklinton Fire Department had responded to a call around 4:00 PM about a house and surrounding brush fire located off of H.C. Rushing Road. The surrounding brush fire prevented firefighters from accessing the house fire for several hours. Unfortunately, firefighters later discovered a body inside of the remains of the home.

The State Fire Marshall has emphasized, once again, that our state is facing a SERIOUS drought and fire danger right now. We are pleading with all Louisianans to ❌🔥STOP ALL BURNING🔥❌ until conditions become less threatening. This includes those who DO have permits and permissions to burn-- please choose not to burn right now in consideration for your neighbors, communities and first responders.
