IBERVILLE PARISH - Officials working at the scene of the Bayou Pigeon fire completed a fire line that will prevent the fire from spreading further.

According to the Bayou Sorrel/Bayou Pigeon Fire Department, the fire burned an estimated 23 acres. The fire is still smoldering and expected to create smoke due to the falling trees in the area, but it is expected to lessen due to a fire break created using a bulldozer at the east and north side of the fire.

Officials described it as a "slow" and "meandering" fire. On Friday, they said they were unable to contain it because the remote location impeded the use of necessary equipment.

The Bayou Sorrel/Bayou Pigeon Fire Department said it will "continue to monitor this fire as long as (they) need to" and will provide updates as warranted.
