Orleans Parish, Louisiana: official burn ban sources
Find official information for Orleans Parish. This reference page does not report whether a burn ban is active or lifted.
Open fires in New Orleans
Orleans Parish and the City of New Orleans share the same boundaries. New Orleans Fire Department publishes the city's operational-permit process for bonfires and other open fires.
A statewide parish status does not replace a New Orleans permit or fire-code requirement. The type of fire, event, property, and current emergency orders all matter.
Use the New Orleans permit page before planning an open fire and contact the Fire Prevention Division when the activity does not clearly fit the published instructions.
