The school at 6410 Morganite Lane in Killeen was evacuated at around 9:40 a.m. Thursday after alarms sounded and smoke from what the school's principal described as "a small fire" filled the building.

NEWS 12 THE BRONX Related Video: More Than 100 Firefighters Respond To Brooklyn House Fire Senior living center in South Carolina housing firefighters VIDEO: Members of Mount Pleasant Fire Station #5 are staying in unique temporary living quarters while the station undergoes renovations. Over the last month, fire crews have been living out of a villa at Somerby Senior Living in Mount Pleasant. Christie Gauldin, the Director of Sales and Marketing, says she was a little surprised when Mount Pleasant Fire asked if their crews could stay there while their station underwent renovations, but she knew it was something they had to make work. "I've been in senior living for about 14 years and this is definitely a first," Gauldin said. Captain Matt Tidwell with Mount Pleasant Fire says they wanted to stay close to the district five area to be able to still serve this community, especially since there aren't any other stations nearby. WCSC-TV CBS 5 CHARLESTON The EMS and the Eldorado–an old car boosts Maryland fire company's finances VIDEO: Like all too many public service organizations, Williamsport Fire and EMS in Maryland is cash crunched by COVID. "COVID really messed with things this year," Michael Nokes, the Deputy Chief, said. Not only were funds down, but expenses went way up. "We just purchased a ladder truck, we have a ladder truck that's over thirty years old, it was well overdue for a replacement," Nokes said. They also need new equipment for the truck. The company accepts car donations, but most of the vehicles they receive are definitely end-of-life. "We use them for the purpose of vehicle stabilization and extrication, which is really great for our members to practice on." So when a couple approached the company about donating a vehicle, they were expecting another dying clunker. So you can imagine their surprise when they were presented with a 1964 Caddilac Eldorado, which had been sitting in storage for over three decades, in beautiful condition. WHTM-TV ABC 27 HARRISBURG North Carolina firefighter creates new program to close gender gap among firefighters There is a huge gender gap in the world of firefighting. Only 8% of firefighters in the United States are female according to the National Fire Protection Association. The Greensboro Fire Department wants to bridge the gender gap through a new program. Camp Spark is the department's new initiative aimed at changing the narrative to get more women into fire stations. Brittany King came up with the idea in hopes more women will climb the ladder to a career in the fire service. She's a seasoned fire fighter who recognized the lack of representation and wanted to do something about it. Just 6% of the Greensboro Fire Department is made up of women. "A big part of the reason why there are not a lot of females in the fire service is because of a lack of representation -- they don't see women like them in the fire service," King said. WFMY-TV CBS 2 GREENSBORO Big blast for gender reveal in New Hampshire rocks homes miles away It's a boy! An explosion that rattled homes within a 20-mile radius Tuesday night is being blamed on a gender reveal celebration at a Kingston quarry that police say involved more than a pound of Tannerite and blue chalk. Many residents in communities across southern New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts reported hearing the explosion just after 7 p.m. No injuries were reported in the quarry at Torromeo Industries on Dorre Road. Kingston Police Chief Donald Briggs Jr. said police are looking for those involved. "Obviously, depending on the amount (of explosives) they were using, it could be extremely dangerous," Briggs said Wednesday. Gender reveal party accidents — some deadly — have made headlines as they've grown in popularity among expectant parents over the past decade. Last year, a device from a gender reveal celebration sparked a massive wildfire in California that resulted in a firefighter's death.
