| Capital City Fire Department wants help from citizens to uncover hydrants and fire department connections on commercial buildings Capital City Fire Rescue is seeking citizen assistance with its mission to protect and serve the community. Chief Rich Etheridge says the large amounts of snow accumulation and extremely cold temperatures pose concerns for the department. He's asking citizens to help shovel out any hydrants near their property. He says many hydrants are only visible by the small flags sticking out of the snow piles. Not being able to find a hydrant will drastically impact fire suppression capabilities if they are not readily available, he says. In addition, there are several businesses in the downtown area that have large amounts of snow piled up and burying their fire department connections which are used by fire personnel to augment the sprinkler system during a fire response.

| VIDEO: Burning wall collapses, nearly hits firefighter in Missouri A section of a wall collapsed in Lincoln County just feet away from where firefighters were battling an early morning blaze Tuesday. The Winfield-Foley Fire Department responded to the house fire around 7 a.m. in the 500 block of Highway Y. The fire caused the front stone veneer wall to collapse and nearly strike one of the firefighters. FOX 2's Bommarito Automotive Group SkyFOX helicopter flew over the scene. The video shows Mark Lodes, a battalion chief and volunteer firefighter, walking away as the burning wall came crumbling down. Lodes said he warned other firefighters to evacuate moments before the collapse. "I could hear it crackling and said the wall is coming down," said Lodes. "As we were walking around to the front, I could hear that sound that the wall was going to collapse. It was three to four seconds. I hollered that the wall was coming down." KTVI-TV FOX 2 ST. LOUIS Millions of Jeeps and Rams are about to get a lifesaving new safety feature As many as 4 million drivers are about to become safer, thanks to an over-the-air software update Stellantis will send to their vehicles — at no cost — in January. The Jeep, Ram, Dodge and Fiat and Alfa Romeo vehicles will receive alerts when they near an emergency vehicle with its flashers lit. The feature, called the Emergency Vehicle Alert System (EVAS), will initially be available in North America, but Stellantis could roll it out across the 14 brands the automaker sells around the world. A record 63 U.S. emergency responders were killed in crashes last year, according to the Emergency Responder Safety Institute. "It's all about saving lives," said Mamatha Chamarthi, Stellantis head of software business and product management. The feature was born in a 2020 meeting where Chrysler group employees pitch new ideas. DETROIT FREE PRESS - METERED SITE 13 People, Including 7 Kids, Die in Fire That Tore Through Pennsylvania Rowhome At least 13 people, including children, died as a quick-moving fire tore through a crowded Philadelphia rowhome converted into two apartments owned by the city's public housing authority in the Fairmount neighborhood early Wednesday. "This is without a doubt one of the most tragic days in our city's history, the loss of so many people in such a tragic way," Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said with tears in his eyes. The fire began around 6:40 a.m. on the second floor of the rowhome duplex along the 800 block of North 23rd Street, at Ogden Street, in the dense residential neighborhood, Philadelphia police and fire officials said. The house is owned by the Philadelphia Housing Authority, according to city records. At least 13 people, including seven children, died and two others, including a child, were left in critical condition. The number of dead could still rise, officials said. WCAU-TV NBC 10 PHILADELPHIA January is Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month Occupational cancer is now the leading cause of death among firefighters, surpassing heart disease. January is "Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month." The International Association of Fire Fighters and the Fire Fighters Cancer Support Network are teaming up to reduce the impact of cancer on firefighters with education and prevention resources for departments across the nation and here in North Carolina. "It starts with education, and so the education that the International Association of Firefighters is providing for us is very important and very valuable," said Asheville Fire Chief Scott Burnette. Asheville firefighters are also focused on preventing, tracking, and detecting cancers impacting firefighters. According to Chief Burnette, the department is working to better track exposures by providing diaries for firefighters, helping them track exposures over their careers. WMYA-TV 40 ANDERSON More than 1 million Americans diagnosed with COVID over the long holiday weekend The U.S. reported a record 1,082,549 new COVID-19 cases on Monday, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. It's the latest in a series of staggering milestones brought on by the highly transmissible omicron variant, which is sweeping across the U.S. and around the world. The U.S. has broken several of its own COVID-19 records in recent days. Last week, Johns Hopkins reported more than 480,000 new cases in a single day, more than double the number of daily cases reported during the peak of the delta surge. The seven-day average topped 280,000. For reference: The country was averaging about 70,000 cases a day in early November. Monday's rise could be due to delays in reporting over the holidays and probably includes tests conducted over the weekend. The 7-day daily average for infections is currently at 480,273 per day.
