SHREVEPORT, La. — The Caddo Parish Fire Chiefs Association is asking all residents to voluntarily refrain from outdoor burning while daytime temperatures remain above 100°F.
Officials warn that the current extreme heat creates volatile conditions where even minor fires can spread rapidly. By suspending outdoor burning, residents can significantly reduce the risk of wildfires and protect both the community and local first responders.
Fire leaders emphasize that this cooperative effort is essential to safeguarding property and natural resources until cooler temperatures return.
