| 3 Killed, 1 Injured in Traffic Crash In Lisle Lisle Police Department is Investigating a vehicle crash that left three people dead and one injured early Saturday morning. According to authorities, around 1:18 a.m., Lisle Police officers were dispatched to the intersection of Warrenville Road and Navistar Drive for a traffic crash involving two vehicles. Officers arrived and found one vehicle severely damaged with an Aurora man in his 40s dead inside. The second vehicle was occupied by three people and was found about 200 yards away and was on fire. The passenger of that vehicle, a Naperville man in his 20s was found dead, and the back seat passenger, a Shorewood woman in her 20s was seriously injured. The woman was transported by the Lisle-Woodridge Fire District to Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital where she was later pronounced dead. The driver of the second vehicle, a Naperville man in his 20s, was also transported and is listed in stable condition. WBBM-TV CBS 2 CHICAGO Judge denies Chicago workers' request to halt reporting vaccine status A federal judge on Friday denied a motion by 130 Chicago firefighters and other city employees to temporarily halt enforcement of the city's requirement that all its workers report whether they've received the COVID-19 vaccination or risk being put on no-pay status. During an hourlong hearing, U.S. District Judge John Lee methodically dismantled arguments made in the lawsuit. He said, for example, that he saw no evidence that either Mayor Lori Lightfoot or Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker exceeded their authority by imposing mandates earlier this year to slow the spread of the deadly virus. The judge also pointed to a host of problems and shortcomings in the lawsuit, including what he said was a lack of scientific evidence to support the contention that the natural immunity for people who have had the virus is superior to the protection from the vaccine. WFLD-TV FOX 32 CHICAGO South Jacksonville continues talks about full-time fire chief While the discussions are continuing, the creation of a full-time position of fire chief for the South Jacksonville Fire Department may be stalled again. Village President Mike Broaddus said trustees are continuing to discuss the position after a Committee of the Whole meeting Thursday. "It is still in limbo," Broaddus said. "I think we need a full-time chief to meet the needs of the village. It's been a can being kicked down the road." At its September meeting, Trustee Paula Belobrajdic-Stewart raised a few questions about the position, including the need to discuss a job description, benefits and salary. She said she also wants to make sure the position is created properly after three village positions were created without board approval. The creation of the full-time position has been discussed for several months, Broaddus said. JACKSONVILLE JOURNAL-COURIER Smoke and Odor Investigation at Bakery in Arlington Heights Police, firefighters and paramedics from Arlington Heights responded about 7:40 p.m. Friday, October 29, 2021 to a report of an electrical odor and light smoke at Sweet T's Bakery & Cake Studio, 21 South Dunton Avenue at Arlington Heights. Firefighters arrived at the end unit of a one-story retail building. Interior firefighters on arrival reported a light haze of undetermined cause inside the retail space. Firefighters determined a minor problem caused the light haze, that there was no fire, and that the scene was secure. Firefighters ventilated the store with an electric fan. The scene had the look of a minor problem with an appliance or a light fixture, but this was not confirmed. A Mount Prospect ladder tower truck was also assigned to the scene, which is normal for calls where firefighters are responding to a possible building fire. All firefighters cleared the scene by about 8:00 p.m. THE CARDINAL PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| Firefighters battle massive Pennsylvania warehouse fire, save neighborhood bar VIDEOS: Firefighters battled a multi-alarm blaze in Philadelphia's Port Richmond section on Sunday night and saved a neighborhood bar from catching fire. The call came in just before 10 p.m. for a massive fire showing from a vacant three-story warehouse located near the intersection of Melvale and Tioga streets. The Action Cam was there as the raging flames sent smoke billowing into the sky. Officials say a tire manufacturing company once operated out of the warehouse. It was no longer in use, but whatever was left inside was fueling the fire. Firefighters initially tried to get inside the building, but backed away when the flames started to intensify and shot through the roof. "There was fire showing on the top level when companies first arrived and they took a defensive posture," said Craig Murphy, Philadelphia Fire Department's first deputy fire commissioner. WPVI-TV ABC 6 PHILADELPHIA New York City Workers Reach 91% Vaccine Coverage—But Progress Stalls For NYPD, Firefighters, EMS And Sanitation New York City municipal workers have rushed to get COVID-19 vaccinations in recent days, raising the group's overall coverage to 91% through Saturday evening. But progress has stalled among key workforces such as first responders and sanitation workers, and enforcement of the mandate begins on Monday. Mayor Bill de Blasio has pledged to send home all unvaccinated employees without pay, but some workers are already calling in sick. Service interruptions, namely trash pickup, are deepening. About 1 in 5 sanitation workers — 21% — missed Friday's deadline for the shots and remained unvaccinated. This tally improved only two percentage points on Saturday. Similar stagnation applied to the city's firefighters, except a larger portion there — 27% — have not taken at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine. Large gaps also remain intact for emergency medical services (EMS) workers and the NYPD — both with 16% uninoculated. GOTHAMIST.COM How emergency responders in Wisconsin are rethinking farm rescues More than 100 local firefighters and a team of emergency technicians gathered recently at Heiman Holsteins outside Chili for a training exercise tailored to the unique challenges of farm-site rescues. Organizers described the goal of the training exercise as twofold. The first was to prepare emergency workers for situations that only occur on private farm properties. The second was to promote cooperation with farmers for a nationwide site-mapping program. Officials described the program as way to inform responders of potential hazards unique to each farm without depending on farmers' directives or going in blind. "Rescue operations on farms tend to be low frequency/high risk, meaning that they may not happen as often as car wrecks but, when they do happen, they're often very severe because of the nature of the occupational environment on farms," said Casper Bendixsen, director of the National Farm Medicine Center. THE COUNTRY TODAY - METERED SITE Antique Connecticut fire engine back home and restored to its former glory PHOTOS: The antique, horse-drawn steam engine inside the Yantic Fire Engine Co.'s headquarters bay can't match its modern counterparts when it comes to mobility or pure gallon-pumping power, but it sure does look pretty. After a three-year repair and refurbishment process, the department's 1891 Silsby Steam Engine is back home in all its nickel-plated glory, with fresh paint, newly upholstered seats and modern coils of hose. And while the guts of the engine are archaic by today's standards, its basic design is the same, Assistant Chief Paul O'Connell said this week. "Today's $1 million trucks use diesel and combustion, while the Silsby used coal and steam to extract and discharge water to put out fires," said O'Connell, the department's historian. "It's always been about putting wet stuff onto hot stuff." NORWICH BULLETIN PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
