Shreveport residential facility evacuated because of smoke

Shreveport residential facility evacuated because of smoke

Residents at a Shreveport school building had to be evacuated early Wednesday morning after reports of heavy smoke.

The Shreveport Fire Department was called out to the Holy Angels residential training facility, located in the 10000 block of Ellerbe Rd. just before 4 a.m.

Firefighters on scene reported the school building was filled with smoke. They believe some paper got in contact with a heating vent and that caused the building to be smoky. Residents currently living at the facility were temporarily evacuated while fire crews ventilated the building.
