VIDEO: Mattress business catches fire in Indiana, firefighter taken to hospital Vanderburgh County dispatch confirms there was a working commercial structure fire Saturday at Pike's Mattress. According to dispatch, the call came in at 4:09 p.m. Black smoke seen even from the Lloyd Expressway filled the sky and sirens started to fill Division Street in Evansville as Pike's Mattress became engulfed in flames. "There was a lot of smoke coming at us," said viewer, John Fowler. "The wind was blowing that way, and we saw the smoke coming out of the building then and then it just blew up from there." John Fowler was in his car headed to dinner when, like many other people, he couldn't help but stop at what he was seeing and feeling. "You could just feel the heat from it, it was an intense heat," said Fowler. "All these firefighters are just really getting blasted by the heat from it." The firefighters were blasted by that heat for hours. WFIE-TV NBC 14 EVANSVILLE Why there is a robot firefighter outside a New Jersey fire station PHOTO: If you're driving through Avenel, New Jersey, you might just slam on the brakes and say, "What on Earth is THAT?" That's because you'll catch sight of a hulking, metal figure standing tall—a bizarre yet impressive sculpture that seems ready to charge into a burning building, ax in hand. Meet "The Smoke Eater," a larger-than-life firefighter tribute that looks like the lovechild of the Tin Man and a Transformer. Towering over anyone who stops to gawk, this gas mask-wearing, faceless fireman is all business. Made entirely of thick metal strips, he's got a blocky, no-nonsense silhouette that practically screams, "Out of my way, I've got flames to fight!" But here's the kicker—it's not just some random roadside art. This beastly creation was erected in June 2012 to honor the brave firefighters of Avenel, all thanks to a grant that helped bring the vision to life. SHORE NEWS NETWORK Maine town marks 5 years since explosion that killed a firefighter VIDEO: Monday marks five years since the explosion in Farmington that devastated the community and killed Fire Capt. Michael Bell. Six firefighters and LEAP maintenance manager Larry Lord were seriously injured in the blast on Sept. 16, 2019. Firefighters were called to the LEAP building on Route 2 in Farmington at 8:07 a.m. that day for a propane smell in the building. Soon after firefighters arrived and began to investigate, there was an explosion that leveled the building. The injured Farmington firefighters were Fire Chief Terry Bell, Capt. Timothy D. Hardy, Capt. Scott Baxter, Firefighter Theodore Baxter, Firefighter Joseph Hastings and Deputy Fire Chief Clyde Ross. Lord was hailed as a hero for evacuating LEAP employees before the building exploded. He received burns on over 80% of his body and spent several months in the hospital.
