Firefighters Respond To 3-Alarm Fire At Pratt Industries In Shreveport, LA More than 100 firefighters from multiple agencies re- sponded to a fire at Pratt Industries’ plant at the Port of Caddo-Bossier in Shreveport, Louisiana on Saturday, March 15. Local media reported that bales of container- board were on fire and first responders were still working the scene some 24 hours later. High winds aided the fire’s spread which scorched 2.5 acres of land on the property. One fire fighter was taken to the hospital but was expect- ed to recover. Shreveport Fire Chief Clarence Reece said that Pratt Industrial had protocols in place and did an excellent job to contain the fire until fire fighters arrived. However, the wind and type of material burning—9,500 tons of paper bales—were a challenge, he said. Temperatures at the scene were reported to be above 900 degrees. The cause of the fire remains under investigation, ac- cording to media reports. A “soft” reopening of the plant took place on Sunday as fire fighters continued to monitor the site so that the smoldering remains did not reignite. The Port of Caddo-Bossier released a statement ex- pressing gratitude to the multiple agencies that worked together throughout the firefighting response: “Local first responders worked side by side, ensuring each other’s safety and executing their roles with preci- sion and commitment. Their unified efforts helped bring the situation under control.”
