SHREVEPORT, La. Since Shreveport voters rejected a bond proposal in 2019 and the next bond plan fell through the city found a bargain on a couple of used fire trucks to help the department.
The first of two fire trucks retired from Bossier City is in a bay at the Shreveport Fire Department s maintenance facility. The trucks are 2007 and 2008 models. Chief Scott Wolverton says both have about 45,000 miles. The mileage on these trucks, the wear and tear, is really hardly not any at all compared to what our Shreveport trucks have, Wolverton says. Our newest trucks have more miles than this truck has, Wolverton continued, standing beside the truck that s in to get a tune-up and its SFD markings before going into service in Shreveport.
