The fire happened just after 6 a.m. in the 7100 block of Shady Elms. Firefighters said the home was fully engulfed in flames upon arrival and it took several fire crews nearly 20 minutes to extinguish the fire. Two residents of the home were able to safely escape the flames before the firefighters arrived, according to officials. No injuries were reported. The fire started in the garage before spreading throughout the home, according to officials. Firefighters said their main focus was making sure the flames didn't spread to any nearby residences. The home was deemed a total loss due to the damages and the residents have another place to stay, according to SAFD. KSAT-TV ABC 12 SAN ANTONIO Corpus Christi: New Refinery Terminal Fire Company foam truck for named in honor of late firefighter The Refinery Terminal Fire Company held a dedication ceremony today for a brand new foam fire truck. Members of the fire company held a wetting down and push in ceremony. It's a tradition that dates back to the days of horse-drawn pumpers. Back then the fire engines had to be pushed into their bays by firefighters. This new truck was also dedicated to the memory of Capt. Doug Commons. He was with the RTFC for 11 years until his death one year ago. "My husband was a really good guy," said Commons' widow, Laura. "Their dad was a really good guy and for someone like him to be honored for that, just for being a good man, means a lot to us." This truck is equipped with a 110-foot articulating boom that increases its pumping and distance capacity. This foam tower truck is especially useful in hard to reach areas at tank farms.

WPVI-TV ABC 6 PHILADELPHIA Feds to restore millions they took from sick FDNY 9/11 heroes The Trump administration will finally pay back millions the federal government took from the FDNY's 9/11 treatment program over the last four years. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notified Rep. Pete King (R-Long Island) late Friday that an alphabet soup of federal agencies — including the Treasury Department — will return $3.3 million that was docked from the program that cares for firefighters, paramedics and emergency medical technicians sickened by exposure to the toxic rubble of the Twin Towers. "It's a great victory for really deserving people," King told the Daily News Saturday. "I mean this just never should have happened, but we fought hard, we got it done." The slashing of the critical funding was reported exclusively by The News last month, on the eve of 19th anniversary of the terror attacks. NEW YORK DAILY NEWS - METERED SITE Fire set inside ballot drop box outside Boston Public Library, secretary of state says The Boston Police Department is asking for the public's help in identifying a man in connection with a fire that was set inside a ballot drop box in the city. Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin contacted U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling's office after he was notified of the incident Sunday morning. He is also calling on the FBI to investigate what appears to be a deliberate attack. The Boston Elections Department notified Galvin's office that the fire was set at about 4 a.m. in the ballot drop box outside of the Boston Public Library's main branch in Copley Square. Boston police said officers responded at 4:11 a.m. to the area of 700 Boylston St., which is the location of the library's main branch. When they arrived at the scene, the officers saw Boston firefighters tending to smoke coming from the ballot box. WCVB-TV ABC 5 BOSTON US hits highest 7-day average of coronavirus cases since the pandemic began The latest surge of COVID-19 infections has pushed the seven-day average of new daily cases to heights not seen since the pandemic began. The seven-day average of new cases hit 68,767 on Sunday, topping the previous peak of 67,293 reported on July 22. The two highest single days of new cases were Friday and Saturday, with more than 83,000 new cases added each day. Health experts say the resurgence of cases that they had warned would strike in the fall and winter is here, and that it could be the worst the US has seen so far. Surging numbers in the US -- where there have been a total of more than 8.6 million infections and 225,230 people have died -- show the nation is at a "dangerous tipping point," former US Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb told CBS News on Sunday. "We're entering what's going to be the steep slope of the curve, of the epidemic curve," Gottlieb told CBS's Margaret Brennan on "Face the Nation." CNN Man arrested for striking on-duty California firefighter with car A San Pablo man was arrested on suspicion of striking an on-duty firefighter with his vehicle in Petaluma early Saturday, police said. Petaluma police responded at about 3:11 a.m. to a call from their city's fire department reporting that one of their firefighters "had just been intentionally stuck by a vehicle," police said. Police met with the firefighter who was not seriously injured. At the time, the firefighter was on the scene assisting a patient who was having a medical issue in a shopping center parking lot. The injured firefighter provided a description of the suspect, who was later identified by police as Everal Thompson, 30, of San Pablo. Thompson had reportedly approached fire personnel as they were tending to the patient and began to ask them questions, police said. After they asked Thompson to leave, he entered his vehicle, drove toward and struck the firefighter, then drove off, police said. Police later contacted Thompson and he was identified by the firefighter. RICHMOND STANDARD PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
