KTBS 3 Roof cam SHREVEPORT, La. - Around 75 firefighters fought a massive two-alarm fire in Shreveport's Highland neighborhood Tuesday Morning in which two vacant houses were destroyed.  It started just before 6 a.m. in the 400 block of Jordan Street.    Fire Chief Scott Wolverton said five water tankers from South Louisiana responded to the scene. "I can't says enough about these men that came out from South Louisiana to help with these tankers. We didn't have sufficient hydrant pressure from all the hydrants that were on scene about 20 PSI was all we had. That's not enough to sustain operations. They were able to provide about 25,000 gallons of water on scene and they've helped us on scene getting it extinguished," Wolverton said.

SHREVEPORT, La. -- Since Shreveport voters rejected a bond proposal in 2019 -- and the next bond plan fell through -- the city found a bargain on a couple of used fire trucks to help the department. The first of two fire trucks retired from Bossier City is in a bay at the Shreveport Fire Department's maintenance facility. The trucks are 2007 and 2008 models. Chief Scott Wolverton says both have about 45,000 miles. "The mileage on these trucks, the wear and tear, is really hardly not any at all compared to what our Shreveport trucks have," Wolverton says. "Our newest trucks have more miles than this truck has," Wolverton continued, standing beside the truck that's in to get a tune-up and its SFD markings before going into service in Shreveport.
