This month alone, Louisiana has witnessed about 520 fires.
Hundreds of fires are still burning across the state as record high temperatures make the conditions even dryer.
Small rainstorms this week have helped. But the largest fire, the 32,000-acre Tiger Island Wildfire, continues to burn in Beauregard Parish near the Texas border, as it’s only 50% contained at most. "I've never seen anything like this. Some of our teams were faced with, Saturday, a fire line that was 6 miles long, flames that were 300 feet tall. So, we asked the citizens of the state of Louisiana, when you do get that evacuation order, whether it'd be mandatory or voluntary, take it seriously," State Fire Marshal Dan Wallis said Wednesday.
