June Training!
Firefighters spent the month of June working on vehicle extrication and rescue. First two nights were taught in house by Training Captain Moscona. The last evening we were fortunate enough to have MES rescue specialist attend and go over our recently acquired stabilization struts. We were happy to be joined by The Butte LaRose Volunteer Fire Dept. on the extrication nights and Henderson Volunteer Fire Department on the stabilization night. Lastly, we want to especially thank Calais Wrecker Service for allowing us to use the vehicles in there yard to get this done!

We would like to send a huge thank you to Travis and Allison Knott for donating this Stihl back pack blower. We are grateful to have this for around the station and to be used on grass fires when it is difficult to get a grass truck to the area.

Two of your Cecilia firefighters just wrapped up three days of world class training at FDIC in Indianapolis. Attending this conference allows us to bring information from the best instructors in the world back to St. Martin Parish.

As of today, March 9, 2026, the burn ban has been lifted in St. Martin Parish. Private burning is no longer restricted.

However, Parish Ordinance 21-08-1329 prohibits the burning of unnatural products (housing materials, plastics, trash, etc) and only allows for natural products from the property (limbs, grass, etc). It also places whoever burns liable for damages to neighboring properties. Whoever is conducting burns must also stay with the burning material for the duration of the burn, or it will be treated as an unmanned, nuisance burn which will be extinguished and possibly cited for fines.

Please keep in mind current wind conditions and fire spread prevention. Please be responsible and keep our community safe!!

A burn ban is now in affect for all of St. Martin Parish all outdoor burning is prohibited and will be extinguished by fire department personnel.

Supervised outdoor cooking is still allowed

You may still see Agricultural burns being conducted during the burn ban, since they fall under the jurisdiction of agriculture and forestry.
