Residents of the tiny town of Doyline are being asked to evacuate this weekend while officials begin to move improperly stored smokeless black powder on Camp Minden.
For safety reasons, Webster Parish Sheriff Gary Sexton is asking about 1,000 residents to be evacuated by 6 A.M. Saturday morning.
Authorities will then move the million pounds of smokeless black powder that's been improperly stored, behind Explo Systems and properly place them into storage magazines.
Sheriff Sexton says Doyline High School will be closed Monday for precautionary reasons.
Residents should be prepared to be out of their homes until at least Monday.
