Shreveport, LA (July 27, 2021) – A firefighter from Shreveport was transported by paramedics to a local hospital after sustaining injuries while fighting an early morning fire on Tuesday, July 27th.

The Shreveport Fire Department responded to reports of a house fire at the intersection of Market Street and Vine Street at about 12:15 a.m. 

The home, which was vacant when the blaze broke out, was fully engulfed in flames by the time crews arrived. It took a total of 29 firefighters to get the fire under control by 12:55 a.m.  

One firefighter was injured at the scene and was taken to an area medical facility in an ambulance. They are reportedly in stable condition.

The cause of this fire is still under investigation.

Fire-Related Injuries in Shreveport

Injuries caused by fire are usually painful, demand multiple surgeries, and can leave their victims with noticeable scars. 

There are many kinds of accidents that can cause fire-related injuries such as burns or complications from smoke inhalation. Regardless of whether you sustained your fire-related injuries during a house fire, construction accident, explosion, or traffic accident, these types of injuries are often serious, sometimes life-threatening, and they frequently cause additional medical complications. 

When people are badly injured in any type of accident that originated with the disregard, negligence, or maliciousness of another person, their immediate family members are entitled to file a claim of wrongful death with a Louisiana burn injury attorney right away.  

Thousands of victims suffer from serious injuries caused by house fires every year. Many people who survive burn injuries will have to endure lengthy hospitalizations and, until they have fully healed, will be unable to return to work. Both of these obstacles can negatively affect their lives and the lives of their family. Along with burn injuries, the victims of house fires are also susceptible to respiratory problems arising from massive smoke inhalation and death.
