Lake Bistineau Bed Fire Burns Across Droughted Lake
A trash fire ignited a two month blaze across the exposed bed of Lake Bistineau in northwestern Louisiana. Fire crews from four parishes and state forestry dug firebreaks and sprayed water to contain hot spots that burn two feet deep underground. Efforts depend on heavy rains to refill the lake, which would require rainfall across nearby states.
