The Sabine Parish Sheriff’s Office has announced that a parish-wide burn ban is now in effect until further notice, citing dry weather conditions and increased fire danger across the region.

The ban prohibits all outdoor burning, including brush, trash, and debris fires, in an effort to reduce the risk of wildfires during the ongoing dry spell. Parish officials urge all residents to comply with the order and exercise caution when using any equipment or materials that could spark a fire.

The Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry (LDAF) and local fire districts recommend avoiding activities such as welding, burning leaves, or using open flames outdoors until conditions improve.

Residents with questions or specific concerns about the burn ban are encouraged to contact their local fire district for additional information or guidance.

Officials will continue to monitor weather patterns and ground conditions. The burn ban will remain in effect until the parish determines it is safe to lift the restrictions.
