Dear Residents,

We are reaching out to inform you that due to an elevated fire danger in our region, the Sabine Parish Police Jury has declared a Burn Ban. This measure is essential to protect our community from the increased risk of wildfires caused by dry conditions and low humidity.

Effective Tuesday, February 24, 2026:

A burn ban is in place, prohibiting all outdoor burning activities, including garbage, grass, leaves, and brush.

This ban is enacted in accordance with Louisiana Revised Statute 29:727.1 to ensure the safety of our residents and property.

Due to persistent drought conditions in Sabine Parish, there is a significant risk of wildfires. This situation poses a serious threat to both property and the lives of residents.

Consequently, a Burn Ban is now in effect for Sabine Parish, prohibiting all outdoor burning activities, including garbage, grass, leaves, and brush.

Burn permits can be obtained from the Fire Chiefs of the South Sabine Fire Department Wards 1&2, Central Sabine Fire Department, and North Sabine Fire District.

We urge everyone to follow this directive closely and remain vigilant. Penalties may apply for violations.

Our priority is the safety and well-being of our community. This state of emergency will remain in effect until conditions improve.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.Updates will be posted as they become available to the public.

Stay safe,
Sabine Parish Homeland Security & Emergency Preparedness and Sabine Parish Police Jury
