National EMS Academy to offer hybrid EMT course for students in Louisiana

VIDEOS: The National EMS Academy is composed of the Acadian Ambulance and South Louisiana Community College. The partnership was founded back in 2003 with the goal to help train and educate students to become EMTs, then paramedics. Students in Louisiana have a great opportunity in a hybrid setting that is now available for registration. The hybrid course is 30 percent on campus and 70 percent online, allowing students certain days to attend classes and then the flexibility to stay on course from any desired location. Classes begin September 9, 2024, with orientation taking place on September 3 and 4. The campuses in Louisiana offering the course are in Alexandria, Baton Rouge, Covington, Houma, Lafayette, Lake Charles and New Orleans.

Fire breaks out at abandoned Shreveport apartment complex

Shreveport firefighters responded to an early morning fire at the Linwood Homes Apartments on Bernstein Avenue. At least 18 units responded to the blaze around 6:15 Tuesday morning. No injuries have been reported. The Linwood Homes apartment complex is currently not in operation and no electric utilities are servicing the property. The building was involved in a fire last month and had already sustained severe fire and structural damage. The official cause of Tuesday's fire remains under investigation. This complex is owned by Amar Shreveport Holdings, which is the company that owns The Pines and Villa Norte. Both are at the center of complaints of unlivable conditions at Shreveport apartment complexes.
