| House fire disrupts Rock Falls Fire Department training VIDEO: The Rock Falls Fire Department started its day Wednesday preparing for search and rescue training exercises. The Whiteside County Health Department donated a house next door to its expanding clinic. The house will be torn down later this month and become extra parking spaces, but in the meantime, the old house is the fire department's training facility. Most of the time, Rock Falls firefighters simulate training scenarios at the fire station. "We don't get these very often, maybe a couple a year and they're in varying stages of disrepair," Deputy Chief Kyle Sommers said. "Some structures we're very limited on what we're able to do based on the condition of the home. This home is actually one of the better scenarios where we can have a lot of options on what we can do." WQAD-TV ABC/MYNETWORKTV 8 MOLINE Fire rages in shuttered hotel in Waukegan PHOTOS: A fire broke out in a shuttered hotel in Waukegan early Wednesday evening. Firefighters battled the stubborn blaze near the rear of the former Ramada Inn at 200 N. Green Bay Rd. Firefighters worked from the parking lot, so no streets were blocked. No injuries were reported. The cause and origin of the fire were unknown Wednesday night. The hotel has been closed since 2018. In October, two people were found shot and killed inside the abandoned hotel. WBBM-TV CBS 2 CHICAGO Fire Department Coffee, a Rockford coffee company, brews success For Luke Schneider, military veteran, former firefighter and founder of Fire Department Coffee, the mission of his coffee company goes deeper than just a great cup of joe. "Our vision, our goal, our mission is to make great coffee, but to do more than just make great coffee. It's how can we have an impact in the communities that we are connected to," he said. The mission and the communities have grown far beyond what Schneider envisioned when he started roasting coffee in a strip mall storefront roastery for friends and family. The story of Fire Department Coffee starts with a love story. "I met my wife at a business class I was taking. She was a barista, so I would go in and visit her at her work," Schneider said. Both loved coffee. Schneider started his coffee habit while serving in the U.S. Navy and then as a full-time firefighter with the Rockford Fire Department in northern Illinois.

| VIDEO: Large tractor-trailer fire closes portion of I-95 in Connecticut PHOTOS: A major truck fire on I-95 south between exits 15 and 14 in Norwalk has shut down the interstate. The large fire involved a petroleum tractor-trailer, a tanker and a car. The tanker truck was carrying 8,500 gallons of petroleum, fire officials say. There were no fatalities in the incident, officials say. Gov. Ned Lamont said this morning that the highway is anticipated to be closed for a significant period in the area. Lamont recommended staying away from the area due to traffic jams. There is no word yet on when the road will reopen. "Anyone traveling through this area should find alternate routes," Lamont said on X (formerly known as Twitter). Fire officials say the flames were put out within an hour, with extensive damage caused to the Fairfield Avenue overpass bridge. NEWS 12 CONNECTICUT Alabama governor signs proclamation recognizing Dothan as the state's first HeartSafe City Governor Ivey signed a proclamation recognizing Dothan's HeartSafe initiative, Tuesday. Leaders from the Southeast Health Medical Center and Dothan Fire Department visited the state capitol for Governor Ivey to recognize Dothan as the state's first HeartSafe city. The HeartSafe program has trained over 7,000 people for CPR. Over 70 businesses are also receiving training. The Southeast Health Foundation and the Fire Department are hopeful this will inspire other cities in the state. "This project, this initiative, has taken us 6 years since its inception. It is really nice to be recognized for the efforts," Amy Bunting with the Southeast Health Foundation said. "There are over 350,000 sudden cardiac deaths a year. By having trained people in our community, having someone that can start hands-only CPR or CPR on a patient that needs it, increases the survivability of our community which makes us safer and whole, and a better community all together," Dothan Fire Chief Chris Etheredge said. WTVY-TV CBS 4 DOTHAN Washington: Feds called in to help investigate cause of largest building fire in Tri-Cities history PHOTOS: What may be the largest structure fire in Tri-Cities history is continuing to burn 10 days after it started, sending toxic smoke from burning plastic and other materials drifting over nearby homes. Fire officials still don't know what sparked the destructive blaze at Lineage Logistics' Kennewick cold storage warehouse, but Benton Fire District 1 has asked for help from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The fire district has no reason to suspect the cause of the fire was suspicious, but needs the additional resources of the federal agency to determine the cause, Jenna Kochenauer, the Benton County Fire District 1 public information officer, told the Herald on Wednesday. The mostly volunteer rural fire department has limited staff, and the federal agency has better equipment to get into the partially collapsed building that covers nearly 12 acres. AOL.COM Captain faces 10 years in prison for fiery deaths of 34 people aboard California scuba dive boat A scuba dive boat captain was scheduled to be sentenced by a federal judge Thursday on a conviction of criminal negligence after 34 people died in a fire aboard the vessel nearly five years ago. The Sept. 2, 2019, blaze was the deadliest maritime disaster in recent U.S. history, and prompted changes to maritime regulations, congressional reform and several ongoing lawsuits. Captain Jerry Boylan was found guilty of one count of misconduct or neglect of ship officer last year. The charge is a pre-Civil War statute colloquially known as seaman's manslaughter that was designed to hold steamboat captains and crew responsible for maritime disasters. Boylan's appeal is ongoing. He faces up to 10 years behind bars. NBC NEWS PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
