wildfires are burning in Louisiana
, as triple-digit temperatures continue to scorch parts of the state and there is little chance of relief because of the lack of rain. While many of the fires are small, one grew"tremendously" overnight in West Louisiana leading to evacuation orders and burning more than 10,000 acres of land, approximately 16 square miles.
Known as the Tiger Island Fire, the single blaze has accounted for more acres of burned land that the statewide annual average for the last decade in Louisiana. The wildfire is now threatening the approximately 1,000-person town of Merryville, in Beauregard Parish. While most residents are under a voluntary evacuation order, a mandatory evacuation was issued Wednesday for about 100 people in the area.
