episode_narrativeAmbient temperatures in excess of 100 degrees across Northwest Louisiana, very low relative humidity values, extreme drought conditions and strong northeasterly winds in association with Tropical Storm Lee making landfall in south central Louisiana were all the ingredients needed for critical wildfire danger across the region. A wildfire started near Ashland, Louisiana in Natchitoches Parish during the afternoon of September 2nd and was not contained until September 7th. The fire consumed 5000 acres in Northern Natchitoches Parish and spread westward into Red River Parish. The fire started on the Morgan Quick Road and spread very rapidly causing panic in the community of Ashland. There were a total of 10 structures burned including homes, buildings, automobiles, ATV's and boats. Some livestock were also lost during the fire. The fire eventually jumped Black Lake and then spread into Red River Parish. A mobile command center on Hwy. 787 at the Thomas Wren Cemetery was set up while the fire was ongoing.
