LINCOLN PARISH BURN BAN

Lincoln Parish will return under the Statewide Burn Ban.

The Lincoln Parish Fire Protection District No. I has issued an emergency order banning all open-air outdoor burning effective immediately (October 18, 2024). This burn ban coincides with Lincoln Parish Police Jury Ordinance No. 276-06-(1) which authorizes Commissioners of Fire Protection District No. I of Lincoln Parish to impose a temporary ban on open-air outdoor burning within said district. 
Due to the extremely dry conditions presently existing in Lincoln Parish, rural areas, woodlands, and forests are subject to fire. Anyone found to be violating this Ordinance shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and punishable by a fine not to exceed $500 dollars, together with all costs of court, or a jail sentence not to exceed six months, or both. 
This ban will remain in effect until lifted by the Commissioners of Lincoln Parish Fire Protection District No. I. Anyone having questions concerning this matter should contact this office at 318-255-1055.
