A family of four was displaced and two Shreveport firefighters were transported to a local hospital after an early-morning fire ravaged a southeast Shreveport home. SFD crews were dispatched at 3:12 a.m. today to a reported house fire in the 1900 Block of Horton Ave. Even before Shreveport firefighters' arrival a Shreveport Police Officer reported flames shooting from the roof as turned the corner. The officer was instrumental in safely evacuating occupants of the burning home, along with adjacent neighbors as a precaution. Engine 3 was the first fire crew to arrive on scene at 3:18 AM and after verifying the occupants and family pet had been safely evacuated, firefighters immediately began fighting the fire near the left side of the structure. It took the efforts of 10 fire crews (approx. 30 firefighters), one hour to bring the situation under control.
