February 4, 2026 Burning Memo - Fire Safety Conditions
We are currently experiencing very dry conditions, and much of the vegetation across Washington Parish is dormant and highly combustible. With seasonal dry vegetation and windy conditions, outdoor burning poses a serious risk. Just this past weekend, our parish responded to three separate fires. Forecasts also show little to no chance of rain over the next several days, which will only increase the danger. We strongly urge residents to be mindful of these conditions and to avoid burning at this time. A single spark can quickly turn into a dangerous situation. Please help us protect lives, property, and our first responders by using extra caution during this dry period.
Washington Parish President
