The fire department and South Roxana administrators are concerned his wife, Sonja, may have trouble keeping her home and with funeral expenses after losing her husband's income. A GoFundMe page has been established by the South Roxana Fire Department for Chief Werner. Coles attempted to get firefighter death benefits for Werner's wife but was told by the Illinois State Fire Marshal's Office that Werner doesn't qualify.

The driver, Colin Kirby told News 2 that the firework bounced after it hit him in the head and exploded on the convertible's top, which was closed. WKRN-TV ABC 2 NASHVILLE Ohio city takes firefighters to court as they battle cancer Some Toledo firefighters battling cancer are now battling something else. It's the City of Toledo itself. That's because the city is taking them to court over Worker's Comp claims that have already been accepted. It's a fight that could affect their long term health but in the short term it's causing lots of stress It all starts with a state law saying firefighters who contract cancer are presumed to have contracted it through their job and can get worker's compensation. The assumption was that would be the end of the story but the City of Toledo is digging in. We often think of the heroic things firefighters do when buildings are burning or people need help but we sometimes forget the human side. In this case it is cancer. "When this happened it was like being strapped into a roller coaster because basically I was just along for the ride," said Toledo firefighter Miguel Castillo. WTVG-TV ABC/CW 13 TOLEDO Despite long odds, North Carolina board of commissioners tries to tackle fire safety in large homes At the suggestion of Commissioner Michael Siers, the Nags Head Board of Commissioners during its July 7 meeting formed a task force to address fire safety issues in large oceanfront homes. The move comes several weeks after a two-alarm structure fire destroyed an 18-bedroom home on the oceanfront in Kill Devil Hills where more than 40 occupants had to be evacuated. "I know it's an uphill battle beyond all uphill battles, but this KDH fire kind of hit me off again," Siers told his fellow commissioners. "I've said it for the last three years – the larger homes are unsafe for multiple families. There were forty-two or forty-five people in that house. Thank goodness they all got out." While recognizing that the North Carolina Building Code Council holds the sole authority to adopt and amend the statewide building codes for residential properties. THE OUTER BANKS VOICE Man arrested after throwing improvised explosive device near Colorado fire station A man has been arrested after he reportedly taped a road flare to a propane tank, lit it and threw it at people outside a Boulder fire station. Mark Stephen Szyperek, 58, was arrested Monday on suspicion of four counts of attempted first-degree assault with a deadly weapon, fourth-degree arson and possession of explosives. According to an arrest affidavit, police were called at 6:49 p.m. Monday to a grassy area just west of a Boulder fire station at 1585 30th St. There, witnesses told police Szyperek had thrown some sort of flaming device at them before firefighters were able to put the device out. Police spoke to a firefighter who said the device was a road flare that had been taped to a foot-long propane cannister. The firefighter said that had the flare not been extinguished in time, it could have produced a serious explosion. BOULDER DAILY CAMERA Spirit of Oklahoma firetruck returns to Oklahoma soil VIDEO: The Spirit of Oklahoma firetruck just completed its journey from the northeast all the way back to its home state of Oklahoma. It's a truck that connects fire departments from here at home all the way to New York City. After 9/11, this truck was given as a gift from the state of Oklahoma to the New York City Fire Department for their sacrifice and strength. Now the Spirit of Oklahoma is officially back on Oklahoma soil. The journey from Massachusetts began earlier this week by an Oklahoma man who says the trip was personal. "Finally it's here, it's happening, it's not gonna go to scrapyard, it's not gonna go you know just away with history," said Brian Norton, Calera fire chief. Shortly after 9/11 Oklahoma students raised money to buy a firetruck as a thank you to the New York City Fire Department. 10 of the New York firefighters who helped in the Oklahoma City bombing died in 9/11.
