THE CARDINAL Hinsdale family searching for answers after firefighter dies by suicide A family is searching for answers after a 27-year-old Hinsdale firefighter who died by suicide, according to the village. Nicole Hladik was the only female firefighter at the Hinsdale Fire Department, and the third in the town's history. "Nicki was a bright rising star in the fire service, she was beloved by all of us of course and very happy early on," Brian Kulaga, Hladik's uncle, said. But Kulaga said something changed recently. "Then she traded shifts and suddenly just a lot of negativity and then leading up to today which was obviously a complete surprise to all of us," he said. Hladik died by suicide Tuesday and her brother Joseph Hladik said it was a complete shock. "Super active, super fit, a family person, a great friend, she's my sister but my best friend," he said.

| 12 agencies respond to massive fire burning tire recycling facility in Colorado VIDEO: Crews responded to a large fire burning at a tire recycling facility in rural Weld County on Wednesday evening. According to the Platteville Gilcrest Fire Protection District, the fire started shortly before 5:30 p.m. near County Roads 26 and 41. The location is northeast of Fort Lupton and southeast of Platteville. The incident started as an equipment fire and spread to nearby tires. Seven piles of tires spread across two acres are burning. "Fire crews are using heavy equipment to move dirt around to build berms for containment and using surrounding dirt to help fight the fire," PGFPD said in a press release. "Onscene command staff are using strategies that proved successful in the 1987 fire at this same location for containment." PGFPD requested the assistance of an air tanker. At 10:15 p.m., the fire was contained, PGFPD said. Fort Lupton Fire Protection District Crews are also at the scene. "This will be a prolonged incident," FLFPD said. In all, 12 agencies have responded to the fire. KDVR-TV FOX 31 DENVER Florida firefighters question social worker idea; City looks for answers City leaders announced this month that noncriminal and nonviolent calls will be handled by social workers, not uniformed officers. The proposed program is a response to the demands for police reform from Black Lives Matter protesters. "Our citizens are asking for change," St. Petersburg Police Chief Anthony Holloway told the media during the July 9 announcement. "The city of St. Petersburg and our police department are ready for change." But one constituency is not ready: the city's firefighters and paramedics. St. Petersburg Fire Rescue firefighter Richard Pauley Jr., president of the International Association of Fire Fighters Local 747, said the union had "no forewarning" of the city's plans. When an emergency is reported to 911, police officers usually arrive at the scene first. They make sure the area is safe for firefighters and paramedics to do their jobs. TAMPA BAY TIMES Maps Show How Drastically COVID-19 Risk Varies By Neighborhood One of the scariest parts of the coronavirus pandemic is the idea that anyone could get infected at any time. With the virus circulating as widely as it is, anyone could be unlucky. But while we are all at risk of COVID-19 infection, we are not all at equal risk. You're clearly more likely to get sick if you live in an area currently experiencing a surge in cases, like Florida, Arizona and Texas. But even within the same city, your risk of getting infected is deeply tied to where you live. New data from the City Health Dashboard, a project run by New York University Langone Health, shows how drastically the risk of COVID-19 infection can vary from neighborhood to neighborhood within the same city—a reflection of how strongly socioeconomic factors affect who gets sick and who stays healthy. Race, for example, has been a powerful predictor of COVID-19 infections, hospitalizations and deaths across the country, with people of color bearing a disproportionate burden in all three categories. TIME Why Every First Responder Department Should Have a Chaplain Traditionally, chaplains' roles have been ceremonial; they are called upon for banquets, funerals, blessings, and weddings. They are well-meaning and primarily volunteer people of faith, having a heart and hand in assisting first responders and their local agencies. But the days of the ceremonial chaplain are over if we genuinely want operational effectiveness. First responders need support in very specific ways. The unique and habitual stressors placed on them, along with critical incidents like officer-involved shootings, must be approached by properly trained chaplains because most first responders are hesitant about discussing personal concerns with so-called "outsiders." With the significant and ever-changing environment facing first responders, a new model of chaplaincy is essential. First responders need and deserve properly trained chaplains embedded in their departments, going beyond merely enthusiastic or sympathetic clergy occasionally appearing here and there. IN HOMELAND SECURITY Nonprofit to offer support dogs to North Carolina first responders When Asheville Fireman Mark Jameson returned to the fire station after responding to a particularly difficult call, the only thing that lifted his spirits was seeing Denali wagging her tail with excitement upon his return. "We had a call that was DOA, dead on arrival," Jameson said. "It was an older woman, lived by herself, no one had seen her for a while, and she passed. It's a fact of life. But inside her house there were multiple dogs in crates, and they had passed away too because of lack of food and water. That's a sucky call, no one wants to see that." Responding to these kinds of emergencies can be draining and leave first responders in a dark place, but having a service dog like Denali can make all the difference for frontline workers. Service dog organization called Paws and Effect based in Asheville placed Denali with the Asheville Fire Department in January. SMOKY MOUNTAIN NEWS PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
