As of November 16, 2023 @ 07:00 Iberia Parish, including the municipal limits of Loreauville, has opted out of the statewide burn ban.

 
While this update allows for controlled burning, it's important to emphasize safe practices. Please keep in mind that the burning of materials such as tires, mattresses, furniture, plastics, insulation, wire, metal, chemicals, oil, or any unnatural/synthetic materials remains strictly prohibited. Disposal of these items should be done through appropriate waste collection services.

For residents within the Village Limits of Loreauville, there are specific guidelines for recreational fires. Between sunrise and one hour before sunset, fires must not exceed an 8' diameter, be no more than 4' tall, and must maintain a distance of 10' from any property line and 50' from any structure. If closer than 50' to a structure, a suitable non-combustible container must be utilized. After dark, fires can be no larger than 4' in diameter and 4' in height.
