The wildfires in Sabine Parish east of Florien are contained at this time. This remains a very serious situation. Wind direction and changing weather conditions can cause flare-ups and ignite new fires in the area. The LA Dept of Forestry will operate throughout the night clearing lanes to further control the fire. Law enforcement will remain on scene throughout the night patrolling the area looking for any new fires or flare-ups. Sheriff Aaron Mitchell asks everyone to remember those in your prayers affected by this disaster as well as all first responders and law enforcement agencies who responded. Also, thank you to the many churches, citizens, and other volunteers for their help and aid. We will provide updates as needed.
