"Multiple States Enforce Burn Bans Amidst Dry and Hot Conditions"
TL;DR
A statewide burn ban has been implemented in Louisiana, prohibiting all "private" burning unless approved by local fire departments or government. The ban does not affect the use of barbeque grills, fire pits, and small campfires for recreational purposes. It is in response to dry conditions throughout the state, and violators will face consequences. The ban will remain in effect until further notice.
