Louisiana remains 'tinderbox' for wildfires after Winn fire contained
A wildfire that destroyed about 1,500 acres of mostly timberland in Winn Parish was contained Thursday morning, but Louisiana Agriculture and Forestry Commissioner Mike Strain said the state remains "an absolute tinderbox." Strain said his forest firefighters and personnel from other local and state agencies battled the Winn Parish fire until 10 p.m. March 18. He said the Winn fire, which was in the northeastern part of the parish, bordered Louisiana 34 and primarily damaged timberland owned by Weyerhaeuser Co.

He said investigators believe the fire was started from sparks from a blown tire on an 18-wheeler. The Winn fire follows recent large wildfires in Livingston Parish and St. Tammany Parish, which caused Interstate 12 to be temporarily closed. Strain said there already have been 350 wildfires in 2026. There are an average of 752 fires for an entire year in Louisiana. Louisiana House Appropriations Committee Chair Jack McFarland, a Winn Parish Republican, said Gov. Jeff Landry has requested 24 new bulldozers for Strain's agency in the budget.
