At 6:43 a.m., Shreveport fire got a call from workers at the facility. Thirteen fire units and 31 firefighters responded to the emergency. Firefighters say when they arrived, they saw smoke showing from a vent stack on top of the building. Workers told firefighters the fire was contained to a piece of machinery.
