The Southeast community has a testing positivity rate of 3.6% and just 11 pending test results. The medical center's dashboard shows just under 60% of the eligible population is fully vaccinated, similar to the statewide rate.

| VIDEO: Firefighter Rescued After Falling Through Floor At House Fire In New Hampshire A firefighter was rescued after falling through the floor as crews battled a massive house fire in Hudson, New Hampshire Thursday afternoon. SkyEye footage showed heavy smoke and flames engulfing the home on Greeley Street. The firefighter was brought to a hospital along with another firefighter who suffered smoke inhalation. Both were treated for minor injuries and released Thursday night. "We had heavy fire throughout the building," Hudson Fire Chief Robert Buxton said. "Crews mounted an aggressive attack, unfortunately we did have a mayday on the scene." Buxton said the firefighter was holding onto a hose when he fell through, so crews were able to trace where he was. "He fell through the floor, he was holding onto it, and his crew gave him a hand back out of the hole," Buxton said. WBZ-TV CBS 4 BOSTON New firefighter gear in Michigan a life-saving 'game changer' during emergencies PHOTOS: Birmingham Fire Chief Paul Wells has been boasting that most of the department's firefighters have some of the latest and greatest thermal imaging cameras built into their masks. He signed up for the city's firefighting duties about 25 years ago and was introduced to thermal-imaging cameras soon after. He remembers the equipment being much larger and more cumbersome. And it added to the approximately 60 pounds each firefighter hefted because of their gear, boots and helmet and, once they started sweating and dousing the flames, up to 20 additional pounds of water. With thermal-imaging cameras attached directly to masks, the firefighter's load is lighter and they more easily can detect victims and trouble spots. A lens on the side of the masks picks up the wearer's surroundings. HOMETOWN LIFE Virginia volunteer fire department celebrates 100 years of service It was 100 years ago that the McLean Volunteer Fire Department was first incorporated. Many things have changed since then, from development and population growth to fire and rescue technology and the involvement of career firefighters. But what hasn't wavered is the volunteer fire department's commitment to serve McLean and surrounding areas. The McLean Volunteer Fire Department is celebrating its centennial in 2021. The anniversary refers to its incorporation in 1921. The McLean fire station is known as Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Station 1 because it was the first in the county. Since then, it has been home to other firsts in the county: first county station to have a career firefighter, first with a female firefighter and first with an African American fire chief. MCLEAN PATCH Firefighters attend training to respond to aircraft emergencies at international airport in Florida VIDEO: On Thursday evening, large plumes of smoke could be seen around Tampa International Airport. Tampa Fire Rescue Airport Rescue Fire Fighting division (ARFF) hosted a training exercise so firefighters can respond to emergencies at the airport like a plane catching on fire. Emergencies do not happen often, but the training is necessary. Firefighters trained using a metal frame with wings on it which simulates an aircraft emergency. Firefighters battled flames produced by burning jet fuel. "It's a requirement per the FAA to be able to respond out to an airport/airfield incident. For example, possibly a crash or an engine fire, wheels on fire, things like that," said Chief Oren Hanson, Airport Fire Chief at Tampa International Airport. WFTS-TV ABC 28 TAMPA New York firefighter donates kidney to stranger so his best friend can receive one in return It's the holiday season, which means many people are in a giving mood. People give money, and people give gifts. What about someone who gave a part of their own body to someone they've never even met? Cicero firefighter Paul Coir and Perry Galloro are best friends and have been since they first met working as truck drivers back in 1999. "His personality is kind of unique," says Coir. "He has kind of a warped sense of humor and my wife will tell you, we're like two peas in a pod." That's why when Coir found out that Galloro needed a kidney, he didn't even blink. Unfortunately, they weren't a match, but there was still a way he could still help his friend while helping someone else. They discovered the National Kidney Foundation's paired exchange program. If Coir donated his kidney to someone else, they could ensure a kidney for his friend. WSTM-TV NBC/CW 3 SYRACUSE PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
