This week's Friday in the Forest is about prevention. Having defensible space for your home is key to catastrophic loss during a wildfire.

Wildfire prevention starts with each of us. Clear brush around your home to create defensible space, follow local fire restrictions and never leave a campfire unattended. Your actions help protect our forests, firefighters and communities. Learn more at https://www.ready.gov/wildfires

When the heat tops 100 degrees, please don't add more! https://www.facebook.com/100064800937774/posts/1546994360803914/?mibextid=CDWPTG

The Caddo Parish Fire Chiefs Association is asking residents to voluntarily pause outdoor burning while temperatures top 100 degrees. Taking this precaution helps prevent rapidly spreading wildfires and protects local firefighters and communities.

Great job Caddo Parish for getting this team together to combat feral hogs! If you have a feral hog problem in urban or suburban Caddo Parish, reach out to the program for assistance. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/193MVg6Rir/
