KLTV ABC 7 TYLER Fire destroys shed, burns backyards in Wichita Falls A fire in a suburban area of Wichita Falls burned down a shed and singed neighbor's yards before being controlled by the fire department. The fire spread from a burn barrel, which had been placed on the wooden porch of an apartment set apart from the main house on the 100 block of Vickers Ct., according to Deputy Sheriff Melvin Joyner. Joyner said that flame from the burn barrel had spread onto the porch and into the grass before setting at least two sheds alight, as well as the grass in neighboring yards.

They managed to get the fire knocked down fairly quickly. Merritt said they were told the trailer was being prepared for occupation and that the fire meant that a woman and child would be displaced. They were not present at the time of the fire an no one was injured. Both trailers were considered a total loss. KWKT-TV FOX 44 WACO As wildfire potential increases across the state, Texas A&M Forest Service urges fire safety this holiday season Critical fire weather is forecast through Sunday for portions of North and West Texas with Friday holding the most potential for wildfire activity, particularly in the panhandle. Texas A&M Forest Service has prepositioned resources across the area including three single engine air tankers and an air attack platform in Childress, and two large airtankers and an aerial supervision module in Abilene to support suppression efforts as requested. "Wildfire potential increases through the weekend as strong winds, above normal temperatures and low humidity align with dry fuels," said Brad Smith, Texas A&M Forest Service Predictive Services Department Head. "The footprint of critically dry fuels will continue to expand south and east as we experience above normal temperatures and little rainfall."

| House destroyed in New York fire PHOTOS: A vacant house has been destroyed in a fire on the south side of Syracuse early Wednesday morning. Emergency crews were dispatched at 3:00 a.m. to the house on Glenwood Avenue near Craddock Street. When firefighters arrived, the fire was already fully involved and it was too dangerous for firefighters to enter the house, according to the Syracuse Fire Department. A few minutes into firefighting operations, the structure collapsed, according to fire officials. One neighboring home sustained damage as a result of the fire, the Syracuse Fire Department said. One firefighter required medical attention due to minor burns, fire officials said. The cause and origin of the fire are under investigation. CNY CENTRAL Firefighters help Kentucky ‘brothers and sisters' after storms When Mat Post asked himself, "What can we do as a community to help the tornado victims?" his fellow volunteer firefighters answered the call with enough donations of turn out gear, hoses and serviceable fire equipment to fill three trailers. Along with the apparatus, the Clinton Township Volunteer Fire Company decided to donate an entire fire truck, Engine 12. Within a couple of days of putting out the word for donations, which came in from area fire companies, a crew of volunteers was ready to set out to Mayfield, Kentucky, to present the Mayfield-Graves County Fire and Rescue with nearly $2 million worth of gear. The fire company in Kentucky lost everything, including their station house, in the recent tornados. SUN GAZETTE VIDEO: Georgia firefighters rescue man who fell two-stories into air vent Atlanta firefighters had to perform a vertical rescue after a grate gave way and let a man fall down an air shaft, officials said. It happened around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday at One Coca-Cola Plaza. Atlanta fire Rescue said the person had fallen about 15 to 20 feet into the air shaft from above. Firefighters determined the best way to rescue the man was to pull him up back through the now open-air vent. When firefighters made contact with him in the vent, he was alert, conscious, and breathing. Crews then worked to secure him to a stretcher and then hoist him up the nearly two stories to the surface. About 40 firefighters in all were needed for the complex operation. The man appeared to have suffered a left injury and was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital. WAGA-TV FOX 5 ATLANTA Report details potential issue with door latch when Kansas firefighter fell out of truck, sustaining severe head injury KSHB 41 News first obtained a report that details what happened when a Kansas City, Kansas firefighter was injured in an accident on Dec. 12. The Kansas City, Kansas Police Department provided the report. The fire department is still finishing up its own investigation, per a spokesperson. Pumper 17 was heading to a grocery store around 10:45 a.m. that Sunday. According to the report, the truck was turning left onto Shawnee Drive from 47th Street when the front passenger door opened and the occupant fell out, hitting his head on the pavement. The firefighter, who is 48 years-old, sustained a severe head trauma injury and was taken to the hospital. The report indicates the fire truck was sitting at a red light before turning, so the truck could not have been moving very fast when the door came open. KSHB-TV NBC 41 KANSAS CITY Omicron symptoms: What we know about illness caused by the new variant The dizzying speed of omicron's spread has left Americans questioning much of what they know about Covid-19, especially on the cusp of holiday travel. "This is hitting us at a very inopportune time," said Dr. Katherine Poehling, an infectious disease specialist and vaccinologist at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist in North Carolina. Though much remains unknown about omicron, experts are beginning to understand more about the variant and how it affects people who are vaccinated, unvaccinated or who have had a previous Covid infection. For example, people who are exposed to omicron appear to get sick faster and may have symptoms that are different than those of other variants. NBC NEWS PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
