September 21, 2010 - Home Heavily Damaged by Overnight Fire

All occupants escaped without injury

The Shreveport Fire Department was dispatched to 3051 Jonquil Street at 11:12 pm for a reported house fire. Companies from Fire Station Six arrived at 11:18 pm to find a mobile home with heavy flame and smoke coming from the roof and rear of the home. Fire crews immediately began fire attack and an aggressive search of the home as it was occupied by family of six and reports were that someone may still be inside. All occupants escaped without injury. The fire was brought under control at 12:08 am.

The home suffered heavy fire damage to more than 50 percent of the home. The exact cause of the fire is under investigation. Two fires in the same vacant home of this block of Jonquil occurred late Sunday Evening and early Monday Morning. It is unsure if these fires are related to one another. Fire Investigators will continue their investigation to see if they are connected in any way.
