We are going to get a decent amount of rain the next few days. Any chance of the state lifting the burn ban?

I'm wanting to take my boy camping at a state park soon, but we both agree it's not worth going if we can't build a fire.

I thought the state lifted the state-wide burn ban back in the beginning of sugarcane grinding season. They left it up to each parish

Yes. The state lifted it and left it to each parish. The parishes concerning me still enforce it.

Thanks. I was just looking at the state parks websites and the two locations I clicked on still had the burn ban information listed

Hoping we get a decent amount of rain so they will start lifting bans. Getting into the fall/winter like we are, 2-4" of rain now is alot different than 3 months ago. That water won't evaporate or get sucked up by plants as quickly now.

This crap needs to end asap. Not saying my burn pile is getting too big, but some guy named Ragnar just knocked on my door and asked about my funeral pyre rates.

Which park are you looking at going? Depending on how far your willing to drive, Chicot is allowing fires. I am hoping Tickfaw allows fires this weekend but havent heard anything yet.

Was wanting Bogue Chitto.
I guess Tickfaw would work if they lift their ban by next week.

I don't know about everyone else, but we barely got a 1/2" yesterday.

That's not going to go very far in getting burn bans lifted.

Today, Kisatchie lowered their restrictions a little. In the campgrounds you can now have a fire in the fire pit.

Gov doesn’t tell me when I can and cannot burn my sticks.

They will tell you when and where if you are in a state park.

Was going to go this weekend to Tickfaw and gave them a call today to see the latest since the rain is over for the week. Person working today no changes as of noon today. Also found a post on facebook from Livingston Parish saying it wasnt enough rain to remove the ban. So hopefully the system coming early next week has enough rain to change things. Going to get around 45 Saturday night. No fire on a cool night while tent camping is going to suck if we still go.

Gov Tate Reeves lifted the state issued burn ban today, I believe effective tomorrow. It was for something like 40 counties. Some individual counties have their own burn bans.

Fontainebleau State Park has opted out of the burn ban.

St. Tammany Parish has opted out starting this morning. Let the infernos commence!

Several Parishes have lifted burn bans.

Unfortunately, even though most of the parishes that encompass Kisatchie have lifted their bans, campfires are still only allowed in designated areas on Kisatchie.

So no campfires for dispersed campers.
