I saw 3 fire trucks, 2 ambulances, and 3 cops fly down the east approach 5 minutes ago. Any info?
All these fires across the state makes me worry! I hope all is safe!

I didn't hear or see that but I have fished the tangipahoa river and some creeks and streams up near the MS border recently and I can smell the fires.

Looks like someone called 911 in East Mandeville for some reason? All those emergency services go to call point.
But haven't heard anything.
Also, no burning smells.
Can't be too terribly bad.

In Beauregard and Vernon parishes [SW LA] there are about 5 fires still burning. 2 or 3 smaller fires have been put out.
The Merryville fire [mostly pine trees in this area] is the biggest [maybe 15,000 to 18,000 acres now] and this is about the 4 th day. Yesterday I saw that it is still only 50% contained. The fire is moving NNW. I wonder if they hope to stop it when it gets to Hwy 190 which is about 4 miles from the fire. This Hwy has just grass for about 40 yards on each side. There are a fair number of homes along this part of the road.
There are lots of good pictures on Facebook showing the fire, planes and helicopter fighting the fires. I wonder what it cost each time the big plane drops a load of the red chemical? Some of the big "water drop" planes are filling up over at Toledo Bend which is about 25 miles away.
