City officials have issued a burn ban for the City of Natchitoches due to dry and unsafe burning conditions, along with an increase in fires reported throughout the parish and surrounding areas.
The ban is effective immediately and will remain in place until further notice. Officials cited ongoing dry weather and a recent rash of fires as contributing factors in the decision.
Residents within the city limits are urged to refrain from any outdoor burning and to take extra precautions to reduce fire risks until conditions improve and the ban is lifted.
