WAFB just posted this:
“ EAST BATON ROUGE PARISH, La. (WAFB) - After East Baton Rouge Parish residents reported smelling smoke Sunday morning, August 27, authorities addressed the situation.
At this time, firefighters said they do not believe any smoke or smell in East Baton Rouge Parish is coming from a fire burning within the parish.
According to a spokeswoman with the St. George Fire Department, crews responded to numerous calls of reported smoke. However, the calls have all been unfounded.
A burn ban remains in place across Louisiana, and authorities warned that anyone caught violating the burn ban will face consequences. Click here to read the full text of the burn ban.”

St Charles Parish:
quote:
The EOC and 911 have received numerous calls parish wide about a smoke smell, haze, and ash. There are no reported fires in St. Charles Parish at this time and there are no visible plumes of smoke from our EOC tower cameras.
It is possible that what people are experiencing is from the large wildfire in Southwest Louisiana. It is not uncommon for smoke to travel hundreds of miles.
Update: US National Weather Service New Orleans Louisiana has confirmed that due to the temperature inversion and winds out of the west, this is from the fires in Beauregard. The same conditions will occur tomorrow. We appreciate the communities vigilance in reporting this occurrence and remind everyone that we are under a statewide burn ban due to the extremely dry and hot conditions.

So basically they don’t know where it’s coming from. Gotta either be a smoldering fire somewhere in a marshy area just to our west or from the western Louisiana fires.
