BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) — A burn ban will go into effect for Livingston Parish on Friday.
According to a release from the Livingston Parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, the Livingston Parish Fire Chiefs requested that the burn ban be reinstated. The parish-wide burn ban will go back into effect at 6 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 27 until further notice.
This comes after the burn ban was lifted for about a week.
The statewide burn ban is still in effect with a few modifications. The modifications allowed individual parishes to opt out of the burn ban.
The public will be updated weekly about the status of the burn ban. Ascension and West Baton Rouge parishes lifted their parish-wide burn bans.
