About Caddo Fire District 1

Caddo Parish Fire District #1, situated just north of Shreveport, LA, stands as a dynamic combination paid/volunteer fire department. Encompassing a 174 square mile region, which includes the town of Blanchard  and its surrounding area, our department has been an integral part of the community since its inception in 1983. Originating as a volunteer fire dept., we evolved by introducing full-time paid firefighters in 1989. Since then, CPFD #1 has exhibited consistent growth, marked by the expansion into ambulance services featuring ALS emergency medical services in 2004. Currently, we operate from 4 manned stations and 1 unmanned station, boasting a team of over 40 dedicated paid personnel, along with a Fire Prevention Bureau and Training Division. Our unwavering commitment revolves around delivering premier emergency services to our citizens. Our firefighters undergo relentless training, ensuring adept responses to diverse emergencies including fires, EMS/Hazmat, high angle/confined space rescue, vehicle extrication, flood, and swift water rescue.
