The Tiger Island Fire Second Anniversary Memorial Presentation

When the “Tiger Island Fire” broke out on August 22, 2023, it became the largest wildfire in Louisiana history. Consuming thousands of acres across West Central Louisiana, the fire ravaged communities and destroyed homes. At the Beauregard Museum, visitors are invited to consider a month-long review of the Tiger Island Fire, including the economic and personal impact. Organizers present data from the US Forest Service and State agencies, as well as information on wildland firefighting, forest conservation efforts, and art created from the devastation. The opening ceremony is September 27 at 1 pm. cityofderidder.org.
