On Monday, October 28, 2024, units from Bossier Parish Fire District #1 were called to Bills Lane in South Haughton for a woods fire. Units arrived to find a fast moving woods fire, endangering multiple structures.
District #1 units along with South Bossier Fire District #2 worked tirelessly to keep the fire from damaging any structures. Louisiana Forestry and Haughton Fire Department also responded to assist in containment efforts. The fire is currently contained but will smolder throughout the night. The Bossier units along with forestry units will monitor the fire through the night for any flare-ups.
