The ban, which is effective immediately, covers any activity involving an open flame that produces embers, said Parish President Jessie Bellard.
“This order will assist our first responders by reducing the number of grass fire calls they receive due to dry conditions throughout the parish,” Bellard said. “The dry and windy weather are perfect conditions for grass fires.”
The ban does not apply to outdoor cooking on grills or to prescribed burns certified by the Department of Agriculture and Forestry.
It will remain in effect until further notice, officials said.
