Gatesville girl, 10, pulled from burning house dies A 10-year-old Gatesville girl who was pulled from a burning house late Sunday night later died at a local hospital. Authorities identified the girl Monday as Cheyenne Harrington. She was trapped in her room by the fire and her mother and father were unable to find her because of the heavy smoke, family members said. "She meant the world to us," Cheyenne's grandmother Sheila Whipkey said. "A house can be replaced. A life can't be. We are not prepared. We don't have enough for funeral. They lost everything in the house," she said. The fire was reported just before midnight in the 100 block of Oak Lane off Golf Course Road in Gatesville, police chief Nathan Gholke said. Other family members escaped without injury said the chief. The girl was taken to McLane Children's Hospital in Temple where she later died.

KSAT-TV ABC 12 SAN ANTONIO More Than 6,000 Meals Delivered to North Texas First Responders on Christmas Day One by one, boxes of meals were packed into the cars of volunteers Christmas morning hand delivering them to first responders across North Texas. This year, more than 6,000 meals were delivered through the "Feed a Hero" initiative. Organizer and board member James Searles said the meal preparations began Christmas Eve and the work continued until every last meal was delivered. "It's just nice that all of these people are willing to give up their Christmas morning and their Christmas eve and their time and their money and put miles on their cars and spend money on gas and give these things up for people that give their lives up for us," Searles said. "As a kid of law enforcement and someone who has seen the sacrifices that these first responders make for us -- just something as simple as pulled pork and mashed potatoes and green beans and a roll can mean so much to people who put their lives on the line every single day and one of the hardest days of the year when a lot of them don't spend time with their families."

New York: Long Island firehouse ravaged in Christmas morning fire Much of a Long Island firehouse was destroyed after going up in flames Christmas morning, leaving the chief in tears as he described the loss of two pumpers, a ladder truck, an ambulance and the volunteer department's firefighting equipment. A passing state trooper noticed the blaze at the unoccupied North Massapequa fire headquarters at 1000 N. Broadway just after 6 a.m. and called it in, Fire Chief Joe Pesale said. "The first arrival was myself and my first lieutenant. Smoke was coming from the truck room," Pesale said. "The immediate response was to transmit our signal 10, which is for a working fire, alerting everybody as well as multiple departments coming with mutual aid — especially being that this is our firehouse and our apparatus is on fire," the chief continued. "We made an attempt to get the trucks out of the building. There were three small explosions which prevented us to," he said. NEW YORK POST South Carolina: Chief Says Spartanburg County's fire service needs severely outdated Spartanburg County's fire service needs have failed to keep up with the growth of more than 50,000 residents over the past 20 years, the county's leading fire official says. That's primarily because the county's master fire service plan has not been updated in more than 20 years, according to Barry Frost. "All departments respond to fires, but there is a huge difference in the other services provided," Frost said. "There are inconsistent levels of service across the county with the rural areas being hit the hardest." Frost is the fire chief in Duncan and chairman of the county's Fire Prevention and Protection Advisory Committee. Frost told county council his committee is trying to correct years of neglect when it comes to coordinating fire service needs.
