The Washington Parish Fire Chiefs Association would like to extend our sincere thanks to the communications officers of the Washington Parish Sheriff’s Office for their hard work and dedication last night.

Dispatchers coordinated responses to approximately 33 weather-related incidents across the parish, ensuring that fire districts, Washington Parish Public Works, and local utility companies were notified and able to respond appropriately. Their professionalism and coordination played a critical role in keeping our community safe.

We would also like to thank all first responders who worked throughout the night to help ensure our roadways were safe for the citizens of Washington Parish.

If you observe any hazards or storm-related issues, please contact the Washington Parish Sheriff’s Office at 985-839-3434 so the appropriate resources can be dispatched.

Thank you to everyone who continues to serve and protect our community.

Home Heating Safety from the Louisiana State Fire Marshall:



If you use a space heater, make sure it is placed 3-5 feet away from objects that can catch fire easily like blankets or furniture.

Ensure space heaters are plugged directly into a wall outlet as opposed to an extension cord or power strip

Space heaters should always be turned off when you’re going to sleep or leaving the room and/or home

DO NOT use ovens or stoves to heat your home

Make sure any open flames, like fireplaces or candles are never left unattended

Have a working smoke alarm
