The Shreveport Fire Department posted this message on social media:

"The health and safety of the members at the station are of utmost importance. To reduce delays in response times the crews are being relocated to a temporary facility located at The Port of Caddo-Bossier to respond from. If you need to access a station, the nearest Fire Stations are located at:

1421 E 70th St

9336 Ellerbe Rd

We don't know yet the extent of the problem with mold, but remediation crews have been called in to decontaminate the building.

Fire Chief Clarence Reese Jr. tells KEEL News "The city of Shreveport has ordered a test for everything at that property including the soil, air and water. I thought it was best to move all of the firefighters out of the building while that is going on." Reese adds "As of right now, there is no immediate danger to citizens or businesses in that area."

The message on social media also says "We will advise when the station is reopened. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
