Event narrative (NOAA)
The Tiger Island Wildfire began between Merryville, DeRidder, and Singer and affected mostly pine forest. The area affected had ample dry fuels from the exceptional drought and downed trees from Hurricane Laura. The fire spread to over 31,000 acres and caused evacuations of Merryville and a portion of Singer and DeRidder. Approximately 7 homes and 39 structures altogether burned.
