(AP) — Louisiana Agriculture Commissioner Mike Strain says a marsh fire in eastern New Orleans is still smoldering, despite the rainfall from Tropical Storm Lee over the weekend.
Some parts of the New Orleans area received up to 12 inches of rain from the storm.
Strain said Tuesday that his department continues to monitor the remnants of the marsh fire, to make sure it doesn’t start moving again or grow larger.
