| New Illinois Bill will provide property tax exemptions for injured first responders A Proposed Bill could provide property tax exemptions for first responders who were severely injured on duty. Senate Bill 15-72 which is co-sponsored by Rockford lawmakers Dave Vella, would create a $5,000.00 dollar homestead exemption for police officers and firefighters who suffered major injuries while on duty. If that first responder dies due to those injuries, the money is passed on to their spouse. The Bill passed the Senate. It now heads to the House.

| East Meadow fire latest of 5 reported in New York in past 24 hours A series of fast-moving fires have destroyed homes and stretched firefighters thin on Long Island Thursday night. A total of five fires have been reported in Nassau County in the past 24 hours, including the latest fire reported in East Meadow shortly before 8:30 p.m. Dramatic video showed a large flash, in what appeared to have been some kind of an explosion that started the fire. One person suffered minor burns to his hands. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Meanwhile, a second fire in Westbury was reported just before 6 p.m. Officers responded to the calls of a house fire on Rockland Street. Officials say all residents in the house had already evacuated. One woman was taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation. No other injuries were reported. This comes after three other fires were reported in Nassau County, including another in Westbury that has impacted LIRR service, and one at a home in Garden City which claimed the lives of 3 residents. WABC-TV ABC 7 NEW YORK Related with Video: 2 East Meadow Homes Catch Fire After Propane Tank Explosion Vaccine Holdouts: How Some Departments Encourage First Responders to Get Vaccinated Though first responders risk their lives by fighting fires and crime every day, an investigation by the News4 I-Team found thousands of public safety personnel in the D.C. region may be risking their safety in another way: by declining to get the COVID-19 vaccine. The I-Team found not only are many police, fire and emergency response agencies grappling with how and whether to urge their members to get vaccinated; many are also operating with an incomplete picture of who has received the shot. The I-Team requested vaccination data from nearly two dozen police and fire departments in D.C., Maryland and Virginia. It found each is tracking the vaccination status of their force differently, if at all. Nearly half of 22 departments said they're not tracking vaccinations, with some citing privacy concerns and noting vaccines are voluntary. WRC-TV NBC 4 WASHINGTON DC West Virginia dive team member talks about finding alleged murder weapon in lake VIDEO: A possible murder weapon has been found at the bottom of a lake nearly a year after the killing. When Williamson firefighter Shane Runyon went through water rescue training, he never imagined he'd use those skills to help with a murder investigation. Williamson Police Department Chief Grady Dotson enlisted the Williamson Fire Department dive team's help after getting a tip that a hammer allegedly used to kill John Jackson in May of last year had been thrown into Laurel Lake. "We did some interrogations and interviews, and the tip came from one of them," Dotson said. James Church, Charles Jarvis, and Terry Jarvis had already been indicted in the case, accused of killing Jackson and burning down the apartment where the crime allegedly happened on Elm Street. The suspects are awaiting trial. "We're very familiar with the lake," Runyon said. "We spend a lot of time diving there, training there." WSAZ-TV NBC 3 HUNTINGTON How a 10 cent wrist band is making North Carolina firefighters more aware of their cancer risk A 10-cent wrist band could help researchers give North Carolina firefighters greater insight into their risks of cancer. Occupational Health and Safety data reveals firefighters are nine percent more likely to get cancer than the general population. Why is part of a study between the Duke Cancer Institute, Duke University, and North Carolina firefighters. As part of News 13's Deadlier than Fire series and documentary, News 13's got a look at the groundbreaking work and why it could have a national impact. "A lot of time firefighters are naturally inquisitive to where they want to get to the deeper answer," explained Durham Firefighter Corey Miller. Miller's curiosity sparked a letter several years ago. "And that partnership has been growing ever since," said Miller. That curiosity has blossomed into a joint effort between Duke University researchers, Duke Cancer Institute, and Durham fire station four, just six miles apart, now collaborating for the first time.
