Public Notification: LaSalle Parish's burn ban will expire on April 20, 2026. Notably, calls for service doubled prior to the ban, returning to baseline levels after its first week. Our reliance on volunteer firefighters prompts reflection on the consequences of their absence. To manage demand and ensure safety, burn bans are enacted in response to hazardous conditions created by irresponsible burning. With volunteer numbers at historic lows and calls increasing, support from the community is vital. All fire departments are eager to welcome new volunteers. Our priority is to protect LaSalle Parish through prudent measures, acknowledging fire's destructive capability. We're dedicated to the safety and well-being of our parish.

Thank you for your cooperation. Sincerely,
LaSalle Parish Volunteer Firefighters

We had some great FETA training on the forcible entry prop brought to location on January 13th. Several fire departments within the parish participated. We work together better when we train together. Thanks to FETA Instructor Daniel Copeland for your passion and dedication to the fire service.

Home fires are not random tragedies. They are often predictable and preventable. Cooking is the number one cause of house fires.

Since Louisiana had such a terrible wildland fire season last year, I pay a lot more attention to articles on wildland fires. Here's a little food for thought.

We have to keep in mind that the fires aren’t burning because of an inadequate water supply or a particular fire chief or reduced budget.

Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) is the term used to describe areas where homes intermingle with forests and nature, and where wildfire risk is higher. The southern region is home to three of the top four states in the nation with the most WUI.
