 VIDEO: An elderly couple was injured when their Ellis County home exploded in the early hours of Friday morning, leaving them with serious burns. Fortunately, they both will recover, their son Garry Holveck said Saturday. Debbie and Danny Holveck, 74 and 72 years old respectively, are being treated at Parkland Hospital in Dallas after the blast along Ike Road near Waxahachie reduced their house to its foundation and blew chunks of metal into the trees. "Considering what happened, it was a complete miracle [they lived]," Garry Holveck said. A county official said he'd been told a propane device inside the home was to blame for the blast. Garry Holveck said he'd smelled gas when at the house earlier in the week, but hadn't been able to find the source or any leak and that the smell eventually seemed to dissipate. WFAA-TV ABC 8 DALLAS VIDEO: Authorities are investigating a southwest Houston condo fire that took the lives of who they believe were three young sisters early Sunday morning.

They responded to the blaze at approximately 5:48 a.m. and according to HFD, three believed to be juveniles died in the fire. Those three girls – all under the age of 15.

KIAH-TV CW 39 HOUSTON Nolanville's newly established fire department is making inroads with the locals. The Nolanville Fire Department hosted "Flapjacks with a Firefighter" on Saturday morning from 8 to 11 a.m. at the fire station, 84 N. Main St., in Nolanville. Saturday marked the first time an event was hosted by the department, according to Robert Cunningham, fire chief. He said the event was important to "get the word out to the public that we're here." The new fire department started serving the area in October of last year and before moving into the building on Main Street earlier this year. That happened after the Nolanville City Council approved the purchase of the building for approximately $500,000 in June after filing for eminent domain of the property last year. It previously housed the Central Bell County Fire & Rescue.

IFD Battalion Chief Rita Reith told 13News that the firefighters were heading to a nearby fatal crash on Massachusetts Avenue and East 30th Street when their truck overturned.

"It skipped and went sideways and flipped over on its side and rolled over to its back." WTHR-TV NBC 13 INDIANAPOLIS PHOTOS: A 34-year-old Colorado man recovering in a hospital will be charged with arson and attempted murder once doctors conclude treatment and hand him over to authorities. The yet-unidentified man was taken into custody Friday afternoon after firing a round from a handgun into the windshield of an ambulance. The trajectory of the bullet was altered and the three people inside the Falck Rocky Mountain ambulance were not injured. "I've been a paramedic for 30 years," Falck Regional Managing Director David Patterson said Saturday, "and the level of 'close call' here is remarkable....(It was) the nearest of misses." At the time of the gunshot, the ambulance was in motion, pulling up to the scene of a house fire with residents standing nearby, Patterson said. CBS NEWS VIDEO: A small plane made an emergency crash landing on the golf course at Haggin Oaks on Sunday, coming to rest at the pro shop, the Sacramento Fire Department said. The pilot walked away with a minor cut to his hand. No one else was hurt. The Sacramento Fire Department said it responded to a report of a plane crashing into a building at the Haggin Oaks Golf Complex after 1 p.m. Capt. Justin Sylvia with Sac Fire said the pilot had just taken off from McClellan Airfield. At about 400 feet altitude, the pilot's engine shut down and he had to look for a safe place to land.

"He knew that he was not going to make it back to the airport," Sylvia said. KCRA-TV NBC 3 SACRAMENTO VIDEO/PHOTO: After a wireless phone charger from Baseus caught fire in Farmington Hills last February, a nationwide investigation was launched. As a result, approximately 132,000 Baseus Magnetic Wireless Charging Power Banks have been recalled across the United States as of June 27. "The lithium-ion battery in the power banks can overheat, posing a fire hazard," according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The battery fire in Farmington Hills that eventually led to the recall was intense but small. "The homeowner heard his power bank hissing and saw it burst into flames," according to a news release from the city. "Though the fire was out when crews arrived and caused minimal damage and no injuries, Farmington Hills Fire Marshal Jason Baloga wanted to investigate further." WJBK-TV FOX 2 DETROIT |
