A light haze continued to blanket parts of Greenville after a large industrial fire Wednesday morning. Multiple fire crews were called about 3:30 a.m. Wednesday to the commercial structure fire in the 200 block of Old Bleachery Road, according to the Piedmont Park Fire Department.

When crews arrived, they said they found a significant grass and commercial building fire. Crews contained the fire and were working to extinguish remaining hot spots.

They said a light haze was present in the immediate area [Sans Souci & Cherrydale areas] and could affect driving conditions and outdoor activities. A person who lives in the area said on Facebook that she was told to get ready to evacuate by the sheriff’s office.

“We were knocked on our door by sheriff’s office at 3:30 am and told to get ready to evacuate because of the fire. We cannot even see (block over from fire) and soot all over my white car. They said to avoid cedar lane and blue ridge drive at Swamp Rabbit Trail if possible.”

VIDEO: When it comes to strokes and heart attacks, the Shreveport Fire Department’s response time is exceeding national expectations.

The Shreveport Fire Department has earned the 2026 Mission: Lifeline EMS – Gold Achievement Award from the American Heart Association for the second year in a row, recognizing its commitment to providing the highest level of pre-hospital cardiac and stroke care.

With more than 500 firefighters certified at least as an EMT, SFD Chief Medical Director Dr. David Janese says the award represents more than a title, it represents patients who lived because of exceptional care.

“It’s not just a title, it’s actual lives saved. We’re making a difference for people who call 911. There are some months where we have maybe 40 or 50 cardiac arrests in the City of Shreveport’s jurisdiction. That’s 50 potential deaths. In one month, we had 60% of our cardiac arrests brought back to life,” said Janese.

A fire tore through a West Babylon apartment complex Tuesday night, injuring three and leaving about 50 residents homeless. The blaze broke out at the Fairfield Suburbia Gardens on Great East Neck Road just before 7:30 p.m.

The first fire hydrant that responders hoped to use was covered in snow, so they used an alternative, delaying water supply to fight the fire. One firefighter and two residents suffered minor injuries and were taken to a nearby hospital.

Two second-story apartments were extensively damaged, and 10 more apartments had water and smoke damage. It was not clear when any of the 50 displaced residents would be allowed to return to the building.

The Red Cross assisted 19 adults and two children across 12 apartment units. Others from the complex went to stay with family and friends.
