| Decatur business damaged by fire to be torn down VIDEOS/PHOTOS: A Decatur business badly damaged after a fire Wednesday morning will be demolished, according to the Decatur Fire Department. Decatur firefighters responded to Belvidere Liquors on North Water Street near East Garfield Avenue. According to the department, firefighters were returning from another call around 6 a.m. when they saw the smoke from the liquor store and responded. Flames and smoke could be seen coming from the roof of the business. Because of the large response of firefighters several streets were blocked off for hours. North Water Street is closed at Grand Ave. so the building can be demolished. It's not clear when the road will be reopened. Drivers should use Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. as an alternative. Decatur firefighters were on scene for several hours putting out flames and checking for hot spots.

| VIDEO: Large fire destroys old high school in Indiana PHOTOS: A historic building went up in flames, breaking many hearts for residents in Decker, Indiana. The fire destroyed the former Decker high school. The old Decker school holds many memories to the community. "We used to roll, skate, jump rope, hopscotch, and play in the trees. There's still one tree left over there that we used to play on," said Decker resident Yolanda Lane. According to people in the community, the building used to be a high school until 1967 and served as an elementary school until 1999. Now, it's being used as a sawmill. Yolanda Lane was saddened to learn her old school was damaged so severely. "I grew up here. It's part of my history. I hate to see part of my history disappear," said Lane. WTHI-TV CBS/FOX/MYNETWORKTV/CW+ 10 TERRE HAUTE Biden signs Fire Act, sending millions to departments across the U.S. President Joe Biden signed the Fire Grants and Safety Act this week, reauthorizing millions of dollars in grants for fire departments across the United States. Biden reiterated his view of the crucial role fire fighters play in communities big and small. "The only thing that saves fire fighters is more fire fighters," he said in an Oval Office signing. Through nearly $700 million in annual funding, departments rely on Assistance for Firefighters (AFG) and Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grants to hire and retain fire fighters, buy modern equipment, and provide training to keep members safe. The bill reauthorizes AFG and SAFER through fiscal year 2028 and extends the sunset for the programs to September 2030. IAFF.ORG VIDEO: Washington fire department shows off new mural The Spokane Valley Fire Department is showing off a new art addition inside the training facility. Time lapse video captures the mural's creation by local artist Daniel Lopez. KXLY-TV ABC 4 SPOKANE Florida fire trucks will soon have blue rear lights and here's why Until this month, only police and prison vehicles could use blue lights. Large fire trucks throughout the Sunshine State will soon have blue rear lights in addition to the red tail lights seen on practically all vehicles nationwide. There's a good reason. This past Legislative Session, state lawmakers unanimously approved a bipartisan bill (HB 463) to allow government-owned fire department vehicles weighing more than 12 tons to have blue lights on their rears. Previously, the allowance only applied to police and prison vehicles. Numerous studies have found that red and blue are the most visible illuminated colors on the spectrum. That includes a 2004 study by the Florida Highway Patrol that determined that red flashing lights are most easily perceived in daylight, while blue stands out best at night.
