episode_narrativeA large wildfire sparked shortly after 11 am on February 9th off of State Highway 119 near Boone Road one mile northwest of the Flatwoods community in far southern Natchitoches Parish near the Rapides Parish line. Very low humidities between 20-25%, gusty northwest winds near 30 mph, and dry fuels due to the lack of wetting rainfall the prior 2-3 weeks helped to fuel this fire, which burned 871 acres near the Kisatchie National Forest. Four buildings (mainly sheds/barns) were burned, two tractors and one truck were destroyed in the wildfire near the Gorum and Flatwoods communities. The Louisiana Department of Transportation closed Louisiana Highway 119 from the Derry community to Louisiana Highway 8 in the Flatwoods community. Multiple fire districts from Natchitoches and Rapides Parishes along with the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry (including air support), and the U.S. Forest Service responded to this wildfire, which was finally extinguished during the morning of February 10th.
