Residents of Allen were urged to voluntarily conserve water. The Southwest Allen Parish Water District was seeking emergency conservation for the entire system as the water supply was low from increased water demand for firefighting as more blazes were sparking amid the hot, dry conditions. The water supply was low and not keeping pace with firefighters’ demand. There has been an uptick in wildfires in the Oakdale area.
