VIDEO/PHOTOS: The Round Rock Fire Department is investigating the cause of a structure fire that happened at a high school in Round Rock on Wednesday. Around 5:27 p.m., RRFD responded to Stony Point High School, 1801 Tiger Trail, for a report of a portable that was "fully engulfed," the agency said on social media. A total of 11 units responded to the scene, as at least four other portables were also at risk. However, crews were able to successfully contain the fire, according to RRFD. No one was in the building at the time of the fire, and no injuries were reported, the agency said. The fire remained under investigation Wednesday.  

VIDEO: A North Texas family is trying to recover after a lightning strike started a fire in their home. Severe weather was possible Monday night in the skies over Venus, in Johnson County, but that family had no idea what would happen next. "Lightning could hit the house, but you don't think you're going to have a house fire because of it," Alyssa Rossler said. Severe weather hit home, literally, for Rossler and her family. "I heard a loud, sounded like a bomb, honestly," she recalled. She was in her upstairs bedroom. Her parents were downstairs. "My whole room lit up, that's how close the lighting hit on top of my window, basically, and sparks came out of the outlets in my room," she recalled. Seconds later, neighbors were outside yelling for them to get out because the house was on fire.  

Kleberg County firefighters and area volunteer crews were working to contain a large brushfire Wednesday on the King Ranch. Kingsville city manager Mark McLaughlin told 3NEWS the fire was burning along Texas State Hwy. 141, between Hwy. 281 and Hwy. 77 across from the Kleberg County Airport, but was big enough to be seen from city hall. He said the fire has been contained to about 50-60 acres, and began in a pile of grain in an open field.  

Minneapolis crews are battling a fire at a vacant apartment building early Thursday morning. The fire started just before midnight at the corner of Fifth Avenue South and 19th Street, just south of downtown. Firefighters say flames were burning from the top floor of the boarded-up building. Crews tried to put out the fire from inside, but they had to get out when the top floor started to collapse. As of 5:45 a.m., crews are still battling the blaze. Minneapolis Deputy Fire Chief Staffan Swanson believes squatters likely sparked the fire. Officials said several boards that were supposed to cover first-floor windows had been tampered with or removed. "When we got here, and got the doors open, a lot of squatters came pouring out, about 15 to 20," explained Swanson.  

PHOTOS: Larry Lechmanski opened the door and there the four beauties posed, shining, immaculate, waiting for their next public event. Four Shelter Island Fire Department vehicles, ranging in years from 1929 to 1964, were right at home in the Cobbetts Lane Firehouse, the brick structure built into the side of the hill and known as the Potato House, from the time it was used to store harvested potatoes, once a profitable cash crop for the Island. It's fitting the antique trucks live in the Potato House, because they contain within their metal, rubber and glass, important eras in the history of the Department. The beautifully restored and maintained vehicles, polished and gleaming, aligned on either side of a middle aisle of the concrete floor — with Marine 10, one of the Department's fire boats at the rear — are a 1964 Ford "Class A" pumper (meaning it is certified to fight fires), a 1957 Ford Class A pumper, a diminutive 1929 Chevrolet, and a 1931 Mack.  

Thursday marks one year since the massive warehouse fire in West Easton. We'd be hard pressed to find someone in the Easton area who doesn't remember this day last year. You either were far enough away to just see the smoke, or you were close enough where you could smell it. Some had soot and ash falling on your cars and homes. The warehouse on Lehigh Drive went up in flames, knocking out power to roughly 7,000 people and requiring the help of agencies from all across our region. "The house shook, the windows shook," nearby resident Diane Smereczynsky told our 69 News crew covering the fire last year. "Within minutes, we heard the sirens and all the companies coming down the street."  

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg announced a new rule on Tuesday requiring two-person crews on railroads in a move to bolster safety as rail regulation has come into the spotlight after the East Palestine, Ohio, derailment last year. "This is a good day for the safety of rail workers, rail passengers and every American who lives near a rail line all across this country because America's rails are safer today than they were yesterday," Buttigieg said at a news conference on Tuesday. The Federal Railroad Administration's provision establishes a minimum crew size for all railroads, including freight, passenger, and commuter trains, requiring at least two crew members. Buttigieg called a second crew member "vital" to train safety operations, like handling track switches and assisting in emergencies. Before the rule, he said a railroad could unilaterally decide to employ a one-person crew without checking in with the Transportation Department.
