Two people have died in the wildfires ravaging Louisiana as residents and leaders are desperate for rain to help quell the blazes.
An 84-year-old woman in St. Tammany Parish was found unconscious Sunday when an official noticed a brush fire on her property, the Louisiana Illuminator reported Monday.
The victim was taken to a hospital in New Orleans, where she died. Hers was the second fatality in recent weeks attributed to the state’s wildfires.
“Although temperatures are expected to back down slightly from record levels this week, the forecast still doesn’t call for substantial rain — which first responders have said is key to reducing the wildfire threat,” the outlet said.
Video footage from the the Vernon Parish Sheriff’s Office shows fire glowing among a cluster of trees, and the New York Post reported there were 450 wildfires burning through the state:

Another death due to Global Warming, which is caused by Conservatives.
Probably.
That’s what the leftist media would have you believe.
I am truly sorry for the victim.
However, these are what are called “summer fires.” The air is hot and the flames are hot. The firefighters are hot. It’s summer in Louisiana.
So biden wants to get rid of oil, coal and natural gas for our cold winters. They are burning the trees so we have no resources left. Getting rid of our food too.
Didn’t the left used to LOVE trees?
And they want to get rid of CO2. Isn’t that what feeds the plants? (photosynthesis-remember?)
This summer has been different.
Dem ol’ boys need to slow down on the burning but
I understand the underbrush has to be contained so
cattle and free ranging animals have some grass to
chew on.
Nothing personal and you don’t have to answer.
Are you from Singer, La.
The incoming hurricane will take care of that wildfire.
I sure hope so.
Considering its size, I’d be surprised if it doesn’t provide enough rain to douse the fires.
“This summer has been different.”
To say the least. I’m a couple hours east in Alabama. This summer has been incredibly hot and dry. We set a new all time record high a couple of days ago. We’re lucky we’re getting some of the far outer bands of the hurricane today, but then it’s going to get hot and dry again.
Thanks, I was wondering if the Hurricane would cool things down.
That’s a pretty big cloud shield.
It ought to bring some rain to LA.
This isn’t close to a normal summer in Louisiana. It’s the hottest in my life and we had a tremendous drought until lots of rain the last couple days.
