Louisiana Current Fire Restrictions (2026)

Conditional: Louisiana has no statewide burn ban, but 35 of its 64 parishes are under a parish burn ban right now: Acadia, Allen, Beauregard, Bossier, Calcasieu, Caldwell, Cameron, Catahoula, Claiborne, East Baton Rouge, East Carroll, East Feliciana, Franklin, Iberia, Iberville, Jackson, Lincoln, Morehouse, Ouachita, Pointe Coupee, Red River, Richland, Sabine, St. Helena, St. Landry, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, Tensas, Union, Vernon, Washington, Webster, West Baton Rouge, West Carroll and West Feliciana. That list is read parish by parish from LDAF's own live burn-ban map layer, last edited November 12, 2026. BOSSIER PARISH IS BACK UNDER A BURN BAN - it re-entered the map as a burn ban on November 12, 2026, after coming off on November 5, 2026 - and JEFFERSON DAVIS PARISH CAME OFF THE MAP on November 12, 2026 (re-entered as no ban), so the count stays at 35 but the list changed. IBERIA PARISH'S ENTRY IS UNCLEAR: on November 9, 2026 LDAF blanked Iberia's burn-ban field on the layer without marking it "none", so LawLert keeps listing Iberia as under a burn ban until the layer says otherwise - check with Iberia Parish before you burn. Earlier changes: Caldwell Parish went back under a ban and Bienville Parish came off on November 6, 2026; Evangeline Parish came off on November 6, 2026; Vermilion and Natchitoches parishes on November 5, 2026; and Winn, Caddo, De Soto, Grant and Rapides parishes on November 4, 2026. Louisiana restricts burning parish by parish when fire risk rises, and parish or city rules may be stricter, so check the official LDAF burn-ban map for your own parish before you burn - the list changes as parish governments add and lift bans. Even where no ban applies, only vegetation and ordinary yard waste may legally be open-burned; plastics, tires, chemicals, shingles, wire and paper products are always illegal to burn (LDEQ).
