Marsh fire burning outside of St. Bernard Parish, but unlikely to pose
threat

A large marsh fire was burning this afternoon in the wetlands between
eastern New Orleans and St. Bernard Parish, but the blaze is too far out to
be reached by firefighters and appears to pose little threat.

St. Bernard Parish Fire Chief Thomas Stone said the area could only be
reached by helicopter, and that "there's no way to get equipment" to the
area.

A New Orleans Fire Department spokesman said the agency has not dispatched
any crews to monitor the fire.
