The Krewe of Chahta rolled through Lacombe on Mardi Gras day. The parade had a variety of participants with home-made floats. The floats had many different themes including Super Bowl Champions, the New Orleans Saints. The parade started at Hwy 190 and S. Mill and ended near the Post office.

iMap Weather
Part of our job as the Fire Department is to conduct pre fire plans. These plans illustrate a map of commercial buildings, and include hazards, electrical and gas shut-off locations, as well as exits and other important information we may need to know while working an incident. STFD3 recently purchased software to help us create these maps making Pre Fire Plans easier and more efficient. Cadzone will make our jobs easier and assists in a safe rescue and fire attack should a commercial incident occur.
