episode_narrativeStrong sustained winds and wind gusts, in association with Tropical Storm Lee which made landfall across the south central and southeast Louisiana gulf coast, were felt across all of Northwest Louisiana on September 4th and 5th. These winds, along with very low humidity values and exceptional drought conditions across Northwest Louisiana, resulted in critical wildfire threat being met across the region. A wildfire began near Oil City, Louisiana on September 5th, consuming 3000 acres of timberland and grassland before being contained on September 6th. Two homes were destroyed in the wildfire along with several fishing camps along Caddo Lake. Several roads were closed including Hwy. 1, Hwy. 2, Hwy. 538, Mt. Gilead Road and Crawford Road. A state of emergency was declared by the Louisiana governor and the National Guard was deployed. Water was brought in to help fight the fire from nearby Caddo Lake by the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry.
