Investigation underway after wind-driven blaze destroys motel, several other buildings in Massachusetts VIDEO: Officials launched an investigation after several buildings in Salisbury were destroyed by a nine-alarm fire as whipping wind gusts battered the seaside town early Monday morning. Firefighters responding to a reported fire in the area of Central Avenue and North End Boulevard around 2 a.m. found heavy flames tearing through Michael's Oceanfront Motel. The blaze also spread to four residential buildings. All of the structures were reduced to a charred pile of rubble and deemed a total loss. Multiple homes in the area were also damaged. Video from the scene showed the structures collapsing to the ground as more than 100 firefighters from several area communities doused the fire with water. "Our top priority throughout the night was to protect the surrounding community from a large and growing fire that was being pushed toward other structures by high wind conditions," Salisbury Fire Chief Scott Carrigan said. WHDH-TV 7 BOSTON Concrete truck in South Carolina is doing 'heavy' recruiting for volunteer firefighters VIDEO: There's creative and then there's creative. The Newberry Fire Department was trying to come up with ideas to help get more people interested in applying to be a volunteer firefighter. Gene Shealy, captain of recruitment for the fire department in Newberry said, "the thought came up why don't we try to put a sign on these concrete trucks." Shealy says the vision was a rolling billboard, but what was delivered was far beyond just a sign on a truck. It went to a whole other level. The concrete truck was a chubby version of one of the firetrucks, with a message and without the hoses and ladders. Mark Hartsell with Carolina Concrete, the company that designed the truck's new color scheme. He explained he wanted to help because he felt it was an important cause of the community. "We decided to go over the top, maybe a bit much, but I don't think so, anything you can do to let those guys and gals know how much they are appreciated needs to be done," said Hartsell. WLTX-TV CBS 19 COLUMBIA New Jersey firefighters commended by governor for battling 11-alarm warehouse blaze VIDEO: Firefighters in New Jersey are still trying to determine what caused a massive fire in Passaic on Friday night. Hundreds of firefighters battled the 11-alarm blaze in an industrial complex where flames shot 70 feet into the air. The fire was just a few feet away from igniting the Qualco Chemical Plant which was filled with potentially hazardous materials such as chlorine. Officials say the heroic efforts by firefighters stopped the flames from hitting the chemical plant, which averted a disaster. The fire was finally put out on Saturday, but they had to come back to put out hot spots that flared up through the weekend. Fire officials are looking at the possibility that the fire might have begun in the back or upper floors of the location. They put in a heroic effort to prevent what could have been one of the worst disasters around. WABC-TV ABC 7 NEW YORK Related: Governor Murphy Visits Firefighters First response plows help New York EMS render care in storms In weather conditions like we saw Monday, getting around can be very difficult for anyone let alone emergency crews trying to help others. We all assume that if we call 911 for help, we'll get it and we will but it doesn't just magically happen. Pat Donovan is the guy who helps first responders help you if you need it in this weather. He drives the first-response plow truck for CHS Ambulance which covers most of the west side of Monroe County. That truck helps keep the bases clear, plows out paramedics and EMTs who need to get to work and then follows ambulances on calls. "It has been pretty bad… there was really deep snow probably about 1-2 o'clock this morning," Donovan said, "the town plows had not been out yet or very limited so any hills, ambulances were getting stuck… they were struggling to get up so, we were running around trying to do everything we could to get them to the patients that needed help." WHEC-TV NBC 10 NEW YORK Residents honor those who lost their lives in 1908 fire at Rhoads Opera House in Pennsylvania VIDEO: 114 years ago, Pennsylvania experienced one of its worst tragedies. "Every fire will change the lives of the people, who they are related to, people that knew them," said Luann Zambanini with the Boyertown Area Historical Society. On Sunday, the Boyertown Area Historical Society commemorated a fatal fire that happened at the Rhoads Opera House in 1908. That fire left 170 play-goers dead. The play was about the Scottish Reformation and would be watched by 340 playgoers that cold January night. Audience members started hearing a hissing noise, and that's when things took a turn. While investigating the sound, someone backstage pulled the curtain back and hit a kerosene foot lamp, which set the curtain on fire. That's when the deadly explosion erupted.
