New Bossier Fire Station Opens

    Jim, thanks for the heads-up on Karen Hopkins' blog. I don't know the ins and outs of whether the Station should have had the money spent to build it.

    But, I love me some Fire Firghters...I hope it makes their days (and nights), and their jobs a little easier.

    Firefighters are under-appreciated, that's for sure. Bossier City/Parish and Shreveport have excellent Fire Departments and everyone should realize that they are only as good as the people who man (and woman) them.
