With fire danger elevated, U.S. Forest Service brings in a 'sky crane'

PINEVILLE — Burn bans in Rapides and Grant parishes may have been rescinded because of recent rains, but the fire danger remains elevated in Central Louisiana. The fire risk is the reason the U.S. Forest Service called in a "sky crane" helicopter to be on standby at the Pineville Municipal Airport, just in case it was needed to help firefighters in a wildfire. The helicopter, a Sikorsky S-64 from Aurora, Oregon-based Helicopter Transport Services , is so huge that motorists on U.S. highways 71 and 165 could see it as they drove by. It also attracted quite a number of visitors who wanted to see it up close. It can hold up to 2,600 gallons of water that can be dropped onto a fire, allowing firefighters on the ground to then attack it. Before the recent rain, conditions were dry with low humidity for several weeks, said Jim Caldwell with the U.S. Forest Service. There were "quite a few wildfires popping up," he said. Even with the rains, if conditions get dry again, "that's when we'll start seeing more fires, and that's why it's important to have this wonderful crew, this wonderful aircraft, that can do things to help the

A 21-Minute Alexandria Stop Over a 100-Foot Blinker Rule Allegedly Included a Frisk, and the Fifth Circuit Won’t Toss Most of the Case

Louisiana wants your blinker on for at least the last 100 feet before a turn. Under La.

'Transformational': England commissioners discuss data center agreement

A cooperative endeavor agreement between the England Industrial and Economic Development District and Applied Digital could be approved Nov. 19 after a Monday meeting to review details of the contract and suggestions for changes from some commissioners. The two-hour meeting included Louisiana Central officials briefing commissioners on what is in the 15-year agreement with two five-year renewal options, comments from local elected officials and two women who do not support the $3.6 billion artificial intelligence factory data center under construction now outside Boyce. Commissioner Joe McPherson argued that the agreement should include information about electrial and water usage, but it turned into a discussion of what could and could not be included in it. The meeting began without a quorum, but the arrival of Commissioner Charlie Weems III 50 minutes into the meeting changed that. First to speak was Louisiana Central CEO and president, Chris Masingill, who thanked the commissioners for continuing to work with them "on this unbelievable transformational and impactful project." He said much had happened since they last were before the commissioners in February when they approved the term sheet so the project could begin. Masingill said Applied Digital was making "one of the largest investments in
