| Postal worker saves mail before Jeep goes up in flames in Madison County VIDEO: Some North Zulch residents are praising a postal worker for his quick action to save mail and packages from his Jeep. His vehicle went up in flames around noon on Thursday outside a home along Highway 39 near FM 1372. Photos sent to KBTX show a stack of packages and mail in the driveway as firefighters worked to extinguish the flames. The postal worker said he first saw smoke coming from the vehicle before stopping and unloading all mail from inside the vehicle. "He's perfectly fine," said Alonda Vazquez who lives nearby. "We were heading out when we saw this happen. We opened our gates so he could come in. He really is a true hero for saving everyone's mail." The cause of the fire wasn't immediately clear.

KDFW-TV FOX 4 DALLAS El Paso Fire Station #10 Is Haunted - By A Monkey El Paso has one of the most haunted fire stations in the United States of America. We also have, I'm pretty sure, the only one that's haunted by a monkey. Fire station #9 has been ranked as one of the most haunted fire stations in the country. Fire station #10 also sees its share of ghostly shenanigans or, literally, "monkey business." The monkey was first brought to fire station 10 in the 1930's as a gift for Captain Whirley who named him DP Lowry and built a strong bond with the new crew member. DP seems to have been quite a character who liked to dunk his donuts, enjoyed a smoke now and then, and was said to be a bit of a flirt. He and Captain Whirley got along great but, when it came to the other firefighters, not a lot of love there. KLAQ-FM 95.5 EL PASO PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

DAILY HERALD - METERED SITE One step at a time: West Virginia amputee firefighter overcomes obstacles VIDEO: William McCallister is following in his family's footsteps as a firefighter and EMT, yet he is walking his own path by doing so with a prosthetic leg. He's worn the prosthetic since he was a baby after having part of his leg amputated at nine months old. "I was hopping before I was walking," McCallister said. The Alum Creek native grew up playing sports and adjusting accordingly. When he decided to go all in on being a firefighter for the Charleston Fire Department, he had already overcome a lot. It was just a matter of making sure others believed in him too. "I just called the fire department before I went in and took the test and told them, 'hey, this is what's going on, this is the deal. Can I do this job, or are you guys going to hold me back?'" he said. "And they were like, 'go for it. If you can pass all the tests, then you're good to go.'"
