Arson Confirmed as the Cause of Louisiana’s Largest-Ever Wildfire in History–as Expected

The Canadian fires were caused by arson.  The Maui fire was caused by a utility company.  This Louisiana fire was caused by arson.  The idea that climate change was the cause of fires is ridiculous—it is a scam by socialists to control our lives.

“Louisiana has been facing an unprecedented wildfire crisis, with a record-breaking number of 441 fires burning from August 1 to August 24, according to the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry (LDAF).

The Tiger Island Fire in Louisiana is the largest wildfire in the state’s history. It has burned over 33,000 acres, which is more than the state usually has in an entire year.”

It is time that Newsom, Gore, Biden and others tell the truth.  They lied about COVID, vaccines and masks—this is just another lie.

State officials announced yesterday that the devastating wildfire that ravaged over 33,000 acres in Louisiana — the largest in the state’s history — was caused by arson.

Louisiana has been facing an unprecedented wildfire crisis, with a record-breaking number of 441 fires burning from August 1 to August 24, according to the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry (LDAF).

The Tiger Island Fire in Louisiana is the largest wildfire in the state’s history. It has burned over 33,000 acres, which is more than the state usually has in an entire year.

“This is unprecedented. We’ve never had to fight this many fires simultaneously and at this duration. We’re fighting between 25 and 30 [wildfires] today,” said Mike Strain, the commissioner for Louisiana’s Department of Agriculture and Forestry, during a press conference last month.

“It’s burning very intensely. It’s moving pretty fast, and you can feel the air picking up. That’s from the heat of the fire sucking air into the fire,” he added.

WATCH:

The LDAF’s Enforcement Division, along with the Louisiana State Fire Marshal deputies and the Beauregard Parish Sheriff’s Office detectives, has confirmed that the Tiger Island Fire was a result of arson.

In a news release, officials requested the public’s help in identifying the arson suspect.

“Investigators urge you to call law enforcement if you or anyone you know has any information regarding this fire. To report an arsonist or information regarding this fire, call the LDAF 24-hour hotline at 1-855-452-5323, the Beauregard Parish Sheriff’s Office at 337-462-8918, or the State Fire Marshal Office at 1-844-954-1221,” according to the news release.

All calls to the LDAF hotline are anonymous, and the Louisiana Forestry Association is offering a cash reward of up to $2,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the responsible individual or individuals.

“The Tiger Island Fire burns east of Merryville, south of Hwy 190, and about five miles east of the Texas state line. The fire originated on August 22 in a wooded pine plantation and has consumed more than 31,000 forested acres. It threatened the town of Merryville and caused devastating damage to more than 20 homes and structures.

Multiple towns in southwestern Louisiana were placed under mandatory evacuation orders due to the fire, and state officials have implemented a burn ban to control the situation.

“Everyone should take these dangerously high temperatures seriously. The extreme heat has already caused a high number of deaths and sent even more people to the hospital. In addition, our state is experiencing very dry weather, which coupled with the heat has produced a number of wildfires. So far the fires have destroyed more than 20,000 acres of land and property. That is exactly why the burn ban is in place,” said Governor John Bel Edwards (D-LA).

The Tiger Island Fire originated on August 22 in a wooded pine plantation and has since threatened the town of Merryville, causing devastating damage to over 20 homes and structures.
