Massive fire displaces flood-weary residents at Livingston apartment complex VIDEO/PHOTOS: A massive fire ripped through the Pine Hills apartment complex Friday morning in Livingston. It's an area already severely impacted by this week's flooding. Video and pictures from Fresh Donuts Downtown shows the height of the fire. Josh Mohler with Livingston Volunteer Fire Department tells KPRC 2 there were no injuries. Displaced families are either headed to stay with friends or relatives or to the shelter that's already been set up for Livingston flood victims, according to Mohler. That shelter is the Dunbar Gym at 1103 Dunbar Street in Livingston. The fire is now under control and the cause is being investigated by Polk County's Fire Marshal. The complex sits right off Highway 190 and Highway 59 on Church Street. KPRC-TV NBC 2 HOUSTON Thirteen Texas Fallen Firefighters Among Those Being Honored For National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend in Maryland The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) will host the 43rd National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend on May 4-5, 2024 in Emmitsburg, Maryland. This year's national tribute will honor 89 firefighters who died in the line of duty in 2023 and 137 firefighters who died in previous years. The honorees will include the following Texas firefighters: Firefighter Peter Avila, age 59, of the Brownsville Fire Department, died on 12/7/2021 due to complications of COVID-19. Firefighter Evan Brown, age 18, of the Honey Grove Volunteer Fire Department and another firefighter were responding to a motor vehicle crash when they hit a cow on the road. The vehicle rolled, ejecting Firefighter Brown, and causing severe injuries. He remained in the Intensive Care Unit at the Medical City Hospital in Plano, TX until his death on 7/30/2023. BROWNWOODNEWS.COM House Committee: Power lines, monitoring of providers to blame for Panhandle wildfires A Texas House of Representatives committee tasked with investigating deadly wildfires in the Panhandle ruled that the most destructive blazes were caused by power lines that "had not been effectively maintained or replaced by a utility provider and an oil and gas operator." The five-member investigative committee, created by House Speaker Dade Phelan in March, released their findings in an initial interim report Wednesday. It provided recommendations to decrease the risk of future disasters. The members included state Rep. Ken King (R-Canadian), Rep. Dustin Burrows (R-Lubbock), landowner Jason Abraham, Rep. Todd Hunter (R-Corpus Christi) and landowner James Henderson. The Smokehouse Creek fire sparked Feb. 26 in Hutchinson County near Stinnett and quickly became the largest wildfire in state history. The fires burned over a million acres in the Texas Panhandle. THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS - METERED SITE Lubbock Fire Rescue trains with simulated live plane fire VIDEO: When a Southwest Airlines flight had an engine failure at Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport in April, the Station 11 fire crew made it to the scene immediately to make sure everyone, including the plane, was safe. The station has crew members present at every moment to keep everyone flying in and out of the international airport safe. EverythingLubbock.com met up with the station's crew on Thursday, May 2 to get a look into the training they go through to prepare for worst-case scenarios, such as a plane catching fire. On Thursday, they attacked flames that bloomed out of an airplane prop they use for training. "This plane is really mimicking a commercial aircraft," Derek Delgado, who is the Public Information Officer for Lubbock Fire Rescue said. "It really just simulates what could possibly happen in real life." KAMC-TV ABC 28 LUBBOCK PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

VIDEO: Fire engulfs building's cupola in Maryland The cupola of a four-story building was fully involved in fire Thursday afternoon. SkyTeam 11 reported around 1 p.m. that firefighters were setting up a perimeter around the historic building at South Broadway and Eastern Avenue in the Fells Point area. City fire officials said firefighters were called around 12:45 p.m. to find the mixed-use building that contains a business on the first floor and apartments on the upper floors. Officials said firefighters had to use ladder trucks and deck guns to douse the flames. It took about 45 minutes to bring the fire under control. There was an initial concern about the structural integrity of the cupola due to extent of the fire, so firefighters cordoned off the surrounding area in case it collapsed, but it did not. Fire officials said no one was injured. There was no immediate word on a cause of the fire. WBAL-TV NBC 11 BALTIMORE Florida fire department puts donated money toward cancer-related initiatives VIDEO: The Seminole County Fire Department is announcing the donated purchase of 150 heavy-duty containers to support cancer-preventative initiatives for firefighters. In January, the Meet Expectations Girls Gymnastics Competition fundraised nearly $10,000 for the fire departments in Seminole and Orange Counties. The Seminole County Firefighters Benevolent Fund used its $5,000 donation to purchase plastic sealable containers where "floating" firefighters can store their gear when they go to various stations. "Floater" firefighters and lieutenants do not have a permanent station and bring their gear to various stations. "They have to transport their gear home and this is just one level of protection to keep them safe and keep their families safe," Lt. Jazz Zombo said. WKMG-TV CBS 6 ORLANDO Former Ohio firefighter shares personal story of survival and resilience in new book VIDEO: A former Dayton firefighter is sharing his life experiences in his new book which came out May 1. "Overcoming Tuesday" tells the personal story of former firefighter Jim Burneka with co-author Hilary Hawkins. The book title was inspired by an interview with 2 NEWS anchor Brooke Moore about first responders' mental health. "The normal citizen sees one or two traumatic calls in their lifetime. And for us, that's just another day — a Tuesday," said Burneka. The book has an entire chapter focused on the aftermath of the Oregon District shooting in 2019. Burneka details how the event changed his approach to helping first responders cope. As the wellness coordinator for the Dayton Fire Department, it was Burneka's responsibility to provide resources for first responders following the tragic event. WDTN-TV NBC 2 DAYTON Sharing a storied drink: Colorado whiskey uses Aspen trees burned in East Troublesome Fire VIDEO: Tucked away in the mountains of Grand County is C Lazy U Ranch, a guest ranch that's been around since 1919. The land is stunning in a quintessential Colorado fashion — with a burn scar still visible throughout the property. The burn scar is from the 2020 East Troublesome Fire. The Director of Ranch Operations, Mike Cullen, remembers that fire vividly. "In that moment, it was scary. But we had a lot of work to do, and we were making sure we were protecting the ranch," Cullen said. "We had a great heads up from our local fire department and from the emergency services, so we were able to get out of here in time. And they gave us a good heads up so we could move our livestock, our horses, our entire team." Jeremy Belnap, the general manager of the ranch, said after surviving a wildfire there are many aspects of life taken into consideration that were not noticed before the destruction. For Belnap, one of those is the resilience of Aspen groves. KMGH-TV ABC 7 DENVER PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
