🔥 IMPORTANT BURNING REMINDER 🔥
Although East Baton Rouge Parish is not currently under a state burn ban, the State has begun expanding burn restrictions due to excessive and persistent fire conditions. East Feliciana Parish is currently the closest parish under a state burn ban.

More importantly, residents of the City of Zachary are reminded that outdoor burning for purposes other than food preparation is still in violation of both city and parish ordinance. This restriction remains in effect regardless of whether a state burn ban has been issued for our parish.

Current dry conditions and increased fire danger also mean that any fire can quickly become difficult to control, potentially endangering people, homes, and property.

Please do not burn within the City of Zachary. If you are unsure whether a particular activity is permitted, please call the Zachary Fire Department before starting a fire, 225-654-0026.

Your safety is our only concern.

7 years since Firefighter Douglas Glass was tragically taken from us while reporting for duty. He lost his life in a car accident on his way to the Firehouse. Please take a moment today to remember and honor his sacrifice, and keep his wife, children, family, and firehouse brothers in your thoughts. 🙏 #853
