At this time we have fixed-wing planes dumping fire retardants and helicopters dumping water in an attempt to contain the wildfires in Merryville and Singer area. We are currently waiting on the Forestry for a briefing so we can further make our command decisions. It does appear that Merryville and Neal Oilfield Areas are no longer in the bullseye but we will continue the current evacuations we have in place.
From a police juror for the area
There are videos on Facebook of helicopters scooping water out of ponds and of planes dumping fire retardants.
The National Guard is also assisting.

It’s insane to see those planes dumping fire retardant in south Louisiana. Glad they mobilized that. Hope it works.
