A behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to step into our boots. 🚒
We welcomed the KTVE NBC 10 and KARD FOX 14 team to OPFD for a firsthand look at the gear, training and teamwork behind every response. From suiting up in turnout gear to learning from our crews, they experienced a glimpse of the work that prepares us to serve Ouachita Parish.

Thank you for helping share our firefighters’ stories in recognition of National First Responders Day and National Fire Safety Month!

Hazardous dry conditions remain in the forecast for our area. A burn ban is in effect for most all of north Louisiana. Outdoor burning is not allowed. Please report any fire immediately to your local fire department by calling 911.

Dry air will continue to remain in place every day this week. This combined with dry fuels and drought conditions will promote an environment prone to wildfire ignitions. Please follow your county or parish burn ban guidance.

🔥 REMINDER: THE BURN BAN IS STILL IN EFFECT! 🚫

OPFD reminds all Ouachita Parish residents that the burn ban remains in effect until further notice.

Dry conditions continue to create an increased risk of fires starting and spreading quickly.

🚫 No outdoor burning of leaves, limbs, trash or yard debris.

Please do your part to prevent fires and protect our community. One small spark can have serious consequences.

Stay safe, Ouachita Parish, and help us spread the word by sharing this reminder!
