Yesterday, the Shreveport Fire Department were called out to a large brush fire on West Bert Kouns Industrial Loop.
SFD arrived on the scene, and due to the size of the fire, they requested additional Engines, water supplies, and a brush truck due to the location of the fire from the roadway.
Wind condition and the flat surface of the land cased the fire to spread very quickly. SFD requested the help of brush trucks and and water tankers from Caddo Fire Districts 3 and 4. The Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry was also brought in to provide bulldozers to make fire-breaks to keep the flames from spreading.
SWEPCO was also called due to the presence of nearby power lines…
