Fire

The four fires in the area are Tiger Island (31,882 ac); Elizabeth (940 ac); Hwy. 113 (7,709 ac) and Lions Camp Rd. (785 ac). Moderate potential for fire activity today as fuels continue to dry after recent rains. (visit Inciweb Tiger Island Fire for more details) (visit Inciweb Hwy 113 Fire for more details) (visit Inciweb Elizabeth Fire for more details) (visit Inciweb Lions Camp Road Fire for more details) Smoke

Light smoke in the vicinity of large fuels that continue to smolder. Heat scorched leaves and pine needles have fallen and covered some of the burned areas. Those areas have an increased potential for reburn as fuels dry. Reburn would cause higher levels of smoke in localized areas. Expect to see only light smoke in the immediate vicinity of a fire or on interior roads. None of the communities in the area should be impacted by smoke from the fires. Monitor locations may have more smoke today due to drying fuels and increased
smoldering of large fuels. Even with the increased smoldering, communities should experience GOOD air
quality. DeRidder, Lake Charles and Lafayette may have brief periods of MODERATE air quality with smoke from other sources.
