| Chicago: Man Dead, Woman Hospitalized After House Fire In West Englewood A 61-year-old man is dead and a 55-year-old woman is hospitalized after a fire in West Englewood early Sunday morning, the Chicago Fire Department confirms. Fire crews say it started around 12:45 a.m. near 63rd and Honore streets. Lonnie McDowell, 61, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to police and fire officials and the Cook County Medical Examiner's office. The woman who survived is being treated for smoke inhalation and is expected to survive. The Fire Department says seven other people living at the house are now homeless. Following the fire, members of the Fire Department's Public Education Division talked with people who live nearby and visited homes, giving out smoke detectors and fire safety literature. WBBM-TV CBS 2 CHICAGO Southwestern Illinois College Fire Science Program Students To Learn On Donated Fire Truck Retired Fairview Heights firefighter Daniel Lougeay of Marissa, has made an in-kind donation of a fire truck to the Southwestern Illinois College Fire Science Program. The 1963 retired fire engine will be used by fire science students to learn how to operate a fire hose pump, as well as other things. "Being able to help the next generation of firefighters become the best they can be, not only for themselves but for the safety of the public is what matters," said Lougeay. "It also feels good to be able to contribute to one of the best fire science programs in our area. Lougeay bought the truck from the Willisville Fire Department in 2002 and used it for parades and antique fire truck shows. The truck will be located at the SWIC Clay Baitman Fire Science Center, located at 1521 Freeburg Ave. in Belleville, where all the fire science courses are offered. The fire science program graduates more than 30 firefighters annually. RIVER BENDER Fire Extinguished at Chicago Beauty Supply Store A fire broke out overnight Saturday into Sunday off 47th Street and Indiana Avenue in Bronzeville. No one was injured in the fire, and police late Sunday were still trying to determine the cause. But as CBS 2's Marissa Parra reported, the owner of one business that was damaged in the fire said his store may never return to normal. The fire affected several different businesses to varying degrees. The damage seemed most severe at a tax service business, but smoke damage spread to the stores on either side of it. It all serves as a reminder that for people like Wig Town Beauty Supply owner Jaewoo "Jay" Kim, this was not just a business or a livelihood. It was a dream. Before you can see the damage at the site of the fire, you can smell it – the unmistakable stench of fumes and burnt plastic. "It was smoke all over the place, fire trucks," Kim said. In the early hours of Sunday morning, Kim's online security system showed him swirls of smoke dancing through the aisles of his business.

| 6-Alarm Fire Contained at California Apartment Building Near University Campus VIDEO: Firefighters battled a six-alarm fire Saturday evening at an apartment building under construction near the University of California campus. The blaze was reported shortly before 6 p.m. and was located in an apartment building under construction and believed to be unoccupied in the 2000 block of University Avenue, two blocks west of the Cal campus. Originally designated as a two-alarm blaze, Berkeley firefighters eventually upgraded the incident to a six-alarm fire, receiving mutual aid from departments in neighboring Oakland, Piedmont, Emeryville, Albany and El Cerrito. The Alameda County Fire Department also assisted. "We can handle two-alarms, so that puts all of our 7 engines, 2 truck companies, 2 ambulance companies and command staff to work," said Berkeley Fire Department Assistant Chief Keith May. "But because of the size of it, and the building and the exposures, we had to call in for additional resources." KPIX-TV CBS 5 SAN FRANCISCO Police: DC Firefighter Shot While Tending to Shooting Victim Gunfire struck a D.C. firefighter who was tending to a shooting victim in Southwest Washington Sunday night, police say. A man was shot about 4:20 p.m. in the parking lot of the 7-Eleven at the corner of MLK Avenue and South Capitol Street SW, police said. As firefighters and police responded to the shooting, gunfire erupted across the street in the 3800 block of Halley Terrace SE. A bullet struck a D.C. firefighter EMT who was helping the injured man, police said. A woman standing at the scene was also shot in the hand, according to police. The firefighter suffered a graze wound to his leg, News4's Darcy Spencer reports. He was later released from the hospital and is in good spirits, fire officials said. No one else was found injured at the Halley Terrace shooting, police said. John Donnelly, acting chief for D.C. Fire and EMS, said the team of firefighters who responded were shaken up during the shooting, and the fire truck shielded some of them from getting hurt. Fire officials say a fire truck was riddled with bullet holes.

WABC-TV ABC 7 NEW YORK Former '05 Bronco's Football Player Finds Dream Job As Denver Firefighter After playing under the lights at Mile High Stadium, a former Denver tight end has chosen to trade in his NFL helmet for a Denver Fire helmet. Former Bronco Wesley Duke is now one of Denver Fire Department's newest and most energetic firefighters. Duke, who played for the Broncos in 2005, said the decision to become a firefighter was fueled by commonalities between athletics and firefighting, and a desire to give back to the community that supported his career in the NFL. "I've done a lot of good jobs. This is my third professional career, and by far the best," Duke told CBS4's Dillon Thomas. After leaving professional football, Duke worked as an over-the-road truck driver. He got married and had three children in that time. Duke said truck diving paid well, but wasn't as exciting and potentially fulfilling as working a servant to his community. KCNC-TV CBS 4 DENVER PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
