| 2-alarm fire at vacant mobile home spread to vacant building in Von Ormy VIDEO/PHOTOS: A 2-alarm fire in a vacant mobile home quickly spread to a nearby building, which was also vacant overnight. It happened around 1:30 a.m. in Southwest Bexar County on I-35 near Oussett Road in Von Army. Both Bexar County ESD and Von Ormy Fire Department responded to the fire, which was fully involved when they arrived. It quickly spread from the mobile home to a nearby building, also vacant. Crews worked to protect nearby structures and try and prevent the fire from spreading. Officials say the vacant building used to be a club, but has been vacant for some time. Both the building and the mobile home are a total loss. The cause of the fire is unknown at this time. No injuries were reported to firefighters or civilians. KABB-TV FOX 29 SAN ANTONIO Texas Task Force 1 first responders who assisted in 9/11 recovery efforts in New York City reflect 20 years later First responders across the country banded together 20 years ago to help with recovery efforts in New York City after the devastating 9/11 attacks. That includes Texas Task Force One, a team of first responders from across the state. "I was a young firefighter, and I was at home and I turned on the TV and the news was on. And they were showing the footage of the first building on fire," Austin-based firefighter Eddie Martinez reflected the day before the 20-year anniversary. He said he got the call to join Texas Task Force 1 for their rescue mission just a few hours later. "For probably the first day or two I was hopeful that we were going to…a void was going to be opened by one of the cranes we're going to go in and we're going to find live people. And after a couple of days it was we quickly realized that it was more of a recovery mission than a search mission," Martinez explained.

WAGA-TV FOX 5 ATLANTA Former FDNY commissioner on losing 343 firefighters on 9/11: ‘We had the best fire chiefs in the world' Former FDNY commissioner Thomas von Essen told "Fox News Reporting" on Saturday that the 343 firefighters who died in the 9/11 terrorist attacks were the "best fire chiefs in the world." Of the 2,753 people killed at the World Trade Center, 343 were first responders from the Fire Department of New York, while another 71 were law enforcement officers from 10 different agencies. "We had the best group of fire chiefs probably anywhere in the world because New York City had so many high rise buildings, so many dangerous buildings, so many prevention laws, and codes and everything else," he said. The firefighter chiefs "really knew what they were doing," Von Essen continued, noting that once the second tower was hit by the plane, they had to "split them up." "I was in the North tower lobby and we sent half of them to the south tower to try to get a handle of what was going on there," he recalled.

ONLINE MADISON New study aims to track search-and-rescue workers' exposure to carcinogens at Florida's Surfside condo collapse If you worked at or near the site of the building collapse in Surfside, researchers with the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine want to examine your toenails. Dr. Natasha Schaefer Solle, a research assistant professor at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, said the nail can reveal cancer risks. "A first responder will be able to clip their toenails, mail them to us and we take them into the lab, and we will be able to see the exposure they had heavy metals over a long period of time," Schaefer Solle said. The researchers are hoping that close to 1,000 people — including police officers, firefighters, and volunteers — will participate. The new study launched this week. It will closely monitor workers over the next several years to examine the effects of the exposure. WPLG-TV ABC 10 MIAMI PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
