Building Fire (Commercial)
Dollar General
8979 Walker Road
February 7, 2015

Around 3:20am Cody Daniels, Signal 51 member, was driving down Walker Road approaching Mackey Lane. Noticing heavy smoke coming from the Dollar General he alerted dispatch of a working structure fire. Engine 17 arrived first due and reported heavy smoke coming from a brick veneer building. Medic 17 was advised to help catch the plug at Walker Road and Mackey Lane. As the fire grew command made both ladder (aerial) trucks setup the ladder and assist on fire attack from above. The smoke kept on getting thicker and thicker and eventually more relief crews were brought in to assist. Signal 51 members bought 50 sausage biscuits from McDonald's for a quick morning snack. Well over 8 rehab bags were used to supply firefighters with refreshing water and Gatorade. The fire was brought under control hours later. The aftermath left Shreveport Fire investigators and Shreveport Police Crime Scene Investigators pointing toward a "suspicious" fire. Evidence was found on scene to support that conclusion. One firefighter was injured and transported to a hospital..
