Overnight, crews successfully contained a marsh fire in the vicinity of Hwy 90 and Savanne Rd. At around 12:30 am, the fire was declared under control, with teams shifting from suppression to monitoring operations. The incident posed no threat to nearby structures.
However, smoke from the fire lingers in the area, potentially affecting individuals with respiratory issues who should take necessary precautions. Residents are reminded to use 911 for emergencies only.
Multiple agencies collaborated to control the blaze, including local fire departments, police, and government authorities. Bayou Cane personnel remain on site – specifically on US Highway 90 between Highway 311 – assessing the situation and ready to respond if conditions change.
