DEKALB DAILY CHRONICLE Geneva Resident Suffers Minor Burn In House Fire A Geneva resident suffered minor injuries Friday morning when their home on the city's west side caught fire, according to fire officials. The Geneva Fire Department responded just after 7 a.m. Friday to a blaze in the 1000 block of Garden Avenue, after a homeowner reported their house was filling was smoke, according to a news release. Firefighters were met with "heavy flames" at the back of the home, and officials called for additional resources and manpower, the release states. The Geneva Fire Department — with support from Batavia, St. Charles, Elburn West Chicago, North Aurora and Fermilab fire departments — put out the flames in about 45 minutes, but the home was deemed to be uninhabitable, officials said. BATAVIA PATCH Vacant Decatur house fire considered suspicious More than a dozen Decatur firefighters battled a vacant house fire late Saturday night. Crews got the call around 11 p.m. and responded near the intersection of N Edward and W North Streets. Firefighters say they contained the flames to two rooms in the home with an aggressive interior attack. No one was living in the home when the fire started and firefighters said there are no injuries to report. In total, four fire engines and one truck responded to the flames — for a total of 16 firefighters on site. The Decatur Fire Department has called in the State Fire Marshal's Office to investigate because of the suspicious nature of the fire. WAND-TV NBC 17 DECATUR PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| Big fire breaks out in downtown Phoenix at building under construction VIDEO: Smoke from a huge fire in downtown Phoenix at a four-story apartment complex under construction could be seen from miles away Sunday night. It was at the intersection of 7th Avenue and Grant Street, near Jefferson Street. According to officials on scene, nearly 40% of the building was complete before the fire erupted. The fire quickly escalated to a 1st alarm blaze, which required hundreds of firefighters. The flames expanded east to toward commercial properties. That's when crews were assigned to protect those surrounding structures. Phoenix Fire Department said that burning construction equipment such as trucks, tractors, forklifts and barrels caused many of the explosions in the fire. Initially, there were reports that the fire started at an APS substation. However, Lily Quezada, a representative with APS media, said that is not the case. KASW-CW6 & KTVK-3TV (AZFAMILY.COM) Drones using infrared cameras to monitor Florida ship blaze that could burn for days VIDEO: The Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department is asking for continued prayers for its firefighters who were injured in an explosion while battling a fire on a cargo ship docked at Blount Island. On Saturday, the blaze continued to burn, and experts say it could continue for days. Eight firefighters were injured in the blast, which occurred on Thursday. Fire Chief Keith Powers said at least four have significant burns and will be off the job for "a long time." A ninth firefighter was treated for heat exhaustion. Five of the eight firefighters who were hospitalized were released on Friday, according to Jacksonville Fire and Rescue. Powers said that crews on Saturday will be doing some surveying to figure out the next plan of attack. The U.S. Coast Guard said because of the tireless efforts to spray water on the ship's exterior, the vessel's hull has remained intact -- keeping it from breaking up and sinking, which is a good thing for safety and potential environmental impacts. WJXT-TV 4 JACKSONVILLE U.S. coronavirus cases have been slowly ticking up since Memorial Day Coronavirus cases in the United States have been slowly ticking up since the Memorial Day holiday, according to a CNBC analysis of data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. New cases hit a peak of 31,578, based on a seven-day average, on April 10 before steadily falling to an eight-week low of just over 20,600 a day on May 28 — and have been rising ever since. New cases in the U.S. have risen over the last three days in a row with a seven-day average of 21,763 new cases reported Wednesday, the data shows. Research shows that it can take anywhere from five to 12 days for people to show symptoms from the coronavirus, which may explain why U.S. cases are only just now starting to rise after several states reopened beaches and relaxed social distancing rules over Memorial Day, which fell on May 25.

NEWS Cincinnati police and firefighters march with community in peaceful Avondale protest Police and firefighters marched with protesters of all ages in Avondale Sunday morning. Protesters marched at 9:30 a.m. from the Avondale Town Center to district four headquarters. The march comes after the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, MN. Organizer and Youth Services Section Police Officer Eddie Hawkins from Avondale, says this is about the community, especially the youth, to come together with police and firefighters to march against officers' misconduct and for the community to have the tough conversations with them. "Sometimes the perception is that it is us against them, the police against the community and a lot of individuals would like for everyone to think that way," Hawkins said. "I was just having a conversation with a co-worker of mine and he kept saying 'we got to make sure they stay here." WXIX-TV FOX 19 CINCINNATI PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
