Doyline residents urged to evacuate

State Representative Jeff Thompson has requested a hearing from the 8th District of Louisiana in order to look into the conditions at Explo. The request comes on the heels of a Louisiana State Police investigation into Explo, a company that makes propellants for the military. Investigators say Explo reportedly improperly stored one million pounds of propellant at Camp Minden. Officials warned residents of the City of Doyline to take seriously an evacuation notice Thursday night at a town hall meeting at Doyline High School. The meeting, led by Webster Sheriff Gary Sexton, urged about 1,000 residents to evacuate the city starting Friday night through the weekend. No date has been set for a hearing.
