Before lighting up your grill this Labor Day, heed the governor's warnings about the statewide burn ban. ⁠
⁠
As wildfires spread across the state, including one of the largest fires Louisiana has ever seen, Gov. John Bel Edwards is urging residents — particularly those who live near dry grass, forests or other places where fires can start — to avoid cooking with open flames.⁠
⁠
"Let’s be patient and not create more work for firefighters in Louisiana," Edwards said at a news conference Wednesday. ⁠
⁠
"We need to prevent what is already a serious situation from becoming worse."⁠
