| Prospect Heights Woman Dies In Condo Complex Fire A woman died as the result of injuries sustained in a Friday morning fire at a five-story condominium building, located at 16 E. Old Willow Road. She was identified as Elzbieta Kasprzycka, 65, Friday evening by the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office. Fire personnel were dispatched to the fire at around 6:42 a.m. following a report of smoke in the building. The initial crews entered the building and found a fire in the second floor apartment of the Lake Run Condos. The fire was immediately upgraded, bringing in surrounding fire companies, according to Prospect Heights Deputy Fire Chief Timothy Jones. Police evacuated the entire building while fire crews brought hose lines into the structure to extinguish the fire. The fire was extinguished within two minutes and efforts were directed to removing smoke from the common areas of the building. DES PLAINES PATCH Retired Chicago fire captain, 77, fatally shoots would-be robber, officials say A 77-year-old retired Chicago Fire Department captain fatally shot a person who tried to rob him Saturday afternoon on the South Side, according to Chicago police and CFD spokesman Larry Langford. About 12:30 p.m., the retired captain was in an open garage of a home in the 500 block of East 89th Street in the Burnside neighborhood when a vehicle driving through the alley pulled up next to him, police said. An assailant got out of the vehicle, pulled out a gun and demanded the man's property. The 77-year-old took out his own gun and shot at the would-be robber, hitting him in the head and chest, police said. The robber, whose identity was not released, died at the scene, police said. The 77-year-old man was not injured. Both guns were found at the scene, police said. The 77-year-old man, who retired from the department about 15 years ago, has a valid firearm owners identification card and conceal carry license.

| Person Dead in New Hampshire Fire; Firefighter Among 2 Taken to Hospital A person died in a fire that burned a building in Manchester, New Hampshire, Saturday while several more people were rescued, officials said. A firefighter was burned and had to be flown to Boston for treatment, Manchester Fire Chief Andy Parent said. Another person was also taken by helicopter to a Boston hospital for medical treatment. The heavy fire, raging on three floors of an apartment building on Dutton Street, was reported about 6:10 p.m., Parent said. Five people were rescued by a ladder on the third floor of the building -- there were multiple people hanging out of windows on that floor -- and another person was rescued from a second-floor porch. Among those saved was a baby. Video shows a firefighter clutching the baby tightly, descending down a ladder to safety. WBTS-TV NBC 10 BOSTON Related YouTube Video: Incredible baby rescue video during Manchester fatal fire First female battalion chief in North Carolina city leads diversity conference in Charlotte Charlotte-Mecklenburg is hosting its second annual diversity, equity and inclusion conference, and the opening speaker is no stranger to breaking barriers. Synthia Kearney never remembers seeing a female firefighter when she was growing up, but today she is the first female battalion chief for the Gastonia Fire Department. Kearney has had a remarkable journey to where she is today. After graduating from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, she was a special agent with the United States Secret Service for four years before transferring to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. "After my second daughter was born I became a stay at home mom for three years," she said. "When I financially had to go back to work I decided to do what I had always wanted to do and at 35 years old, I applied and passed the physical agility test and got hired as a Gastonia Firefighter." WSOC-TV ABC 9 CHARLOTTE The intense fire that destroyed 7 Kentucky warehouses in 1996 VIDEO: It started like any other November day at the Heaven Hill Distillery in Bardstown until disaster struck in 1996 and a wooden warehouse went up in flames. WHAS11's Sky11 chopper raced to the scene as smoke billowed above. Water did little in the fight against burning bourbon and within minutes, the first warehouse was a total loss. First responders put their focus on other buildings, but the flames were too strong, and the weather conditions were worsening. WHAS11 reporter George Sells was at the scene, frantically calling Melissa Swan in the newsroom. "Just have to stand back and watch it burn. At this point, there's absolutely nothing they can do as this rain comes in and these heavy winds blowing. They're gusting over 40 miles an hour now," he described. WHAS-TV ABC 11 LOUISVILLE Number of firefighters in Utah seeking mental health support doubles Mental health continues to be a growing concern among first responders. Molly Doyle never knows when that call is going to come. None of them do. It's the nature of being a firefighter. "My job is to drive the engine to whatever call that is," said Doyle, who is a firefighter with the Unified Fire Authority. Although they are called firefighters, most of the calls that come to the UFA are now medical calls. Crews are trained to fight fires as well as offer emergency medical service. "People call us on their worst day," said Doyle. Because of all those calls, though, Doyle has also been getting more calls lately from her colleagues. That's because she is on UFA's peer support team. "I think asking for help is really difficult for a lot of us," she said. "There's a concern or a stigma that it shows we can't solve all the problems, and we're the type of people who got into this to help others and solve problems." KSL-TV NBC 5 SALT LAKE CITY What is a crowd surge? Crushing deaths at events like Astroworld in Texas have long history The crowd deaths at a Houston music festival added even more names to the long list of people who have been crushed at a major event. Tragedies like the one Friday night at the Astroworld Music Festival have been happening for a long time. In 1979, 11 people died in a scramble to enter a Cincinnati, Ohio, concert by The Who. At the Hillsborough soccer stadium in England, a human crush in 1989 led to nearly 100 deaths. In 2015, a collision of two crowds at the hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia caused more than 2,400 deaths, based on an Associated Press count of media reports and officials' comments. Now that more people are heading out of their homes and back into crowds after many months of being cooped up because of the pandemic, the risks are rising again.
