CLINTON — East Feliciana Parish was placed under a burn ban on Tuesday. 

The burn ban is in effect until further notice, East Feliciana Parish emergency officials said. 

"Outdoor cooking is allowed, but has to be contained, such as a BBQ pit," officials added.

The state Fire Marshal's office restricts "open burning" when fire risk increases. “Open burning” is burning material outside on open ground without a container for the flame, the Fire Marshal's office said. 

"Burn bans temporarily prohibit open burns in an area until fire risk decreases," officials added.
