Dimmitt Fire Department gets upgrade with new fire truck purchase The Dimmitt Fire Department is retiring its oldest fire engine and upgrading to a brand-new, custom-made fire truck. "The fire trucks we have now, our main engine is 32 years old, our back up engine is over 20 years old. They're still in good shape but it's something that needs to be addressed and that's what we did by ordering this new engine," said Dimmitt Fire Chief Corey Lane. Dimmitt City Council approved a 50/50 split between government and city funds for over $800,000. "We'd been discussing this, the fire chief and I, and the council for a little while now. We were looking to need to spend the ARPA funds that had been obligated to the fire department, so this is the consensus we reached to purchase this engine," said Daniel Jackson, Dimmitt city manager. KFDA-TV CBS 10 AMARILLO Governor Abbott deploys additional resources ahead of West Texas fire threat As East Texas recovers from severe flooding as of late, the opposite end of the Lone Star State is gearing up for the threat of wildfires. On Tuesday, Governor Greg Abbott directed the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) to deploy additional state emergency response resources ahead of increased wildfire danger in the Panhandle and West Texas. "Following the largest wildfire in our state's history, Texas stands ready to provide all available resources to assist firefighters and local officials and protect Texas communities," said Governor Abbott. "As dangerous wildfire threats continue in the Panhandle and West Texas, Texans are encouraged to remain vigilant, regularly monitor weather conditions, and take necessary precautions ahead of potential wildfires impacting their communities. I thank our brave firefighters and emergency response personnel who continue to serve and protect their fellow Texans." KTSA-FM 107.1/AM 550 SAN ANTONIO Firefighters in Madison County deploy their tanker ‘The Beast' in multiple high-water rescues VIDEO: First responders across the Brazos Valley and the region have been grappling with high waters and unsafe conditions, as recent heavy rains inundated the area, keeping emergency teams on their toes. Firefighters in North Zulch utilized their specialized rescue vehicle, known as "The Beast," donated by the Texas A&M Forest Service, to successfully rescue a couple stranded in rising floodwaters during its first high-water rescue operation. "The Beast went on down to where they were and had to drive about two hundred yards out through the water to them and was able to pull up right beside the car," said North Zulch Volunteer Fire Chief Tony Clay. Clay highlighted the persistent nature of the rain, noting that the water rescues continued through the week, with the team responding to three additional calls in two days. KBTX-TV CBS 3 BRYAN Austin Energy puts up AI cameras to help fight fires with wildfire season ahead VIDEO: The recent rain in Central Texas could actually make our fire risk more dangerous this summer. Both city and county officials said all this wet weather is helping the grass grow, which adds more fuel for fires when the weather is drier. "We get into our summer setting where those grasses stop growing," Pflugerville Fire Department Assistant Chief Mark Moellenberg said. "They actually die off if we get into a drought. That becomes a fuel load." Pano AI cameras are expected to help with quick response times, which is critical for fire departments. An alert will be sent so fire departments can respond to these wildfires faster. Austin Energy is putting 13 of those 360-degree cameras on cell towers throughout Travis County.

VIDEO: Community, family remember historic Michigan roller rink after fire PHOTOS: Fire crews battled a fierce building blaze at Ramona Roller Rink on Tuesday evening. Firefighters from several local departments were called to the rink just after 6 p.m. on reports of a working commercial fire to the nearly 100-year-old building. It will not only be remembered for today's fire that led to the loss of this entire building, but also it was known as the place to be in the community. "It means a lot; it's a very big staple in the community, as you can see by how many people came out," said Jenn Schaus, daughter of the owner. "And just in my own family, generations we've been here, all my aunts and uncles skated. Brothers and sisters, my parents met." The community was hurting and surrounded the street, checking to make sure they could get one last look at their childhood. WNDU-TV NBC 16 SOUTH BEND World Fire Congress: Firefighters from around the world collaborate in Washington, D.C., to keep citizens safer They have come from as far as Fiji and Croatia and as close as D.C. and Fairfax County, Virginia. Firefighters packed a conference room at the Hyatt Regency in Downtown D.C. on Tuesday for the inaugural World Fire Congress to collaborate and share information to better keep citizens across the world safe. U.S. Fire Administrator Lori Moore-Merrell said 55 countries were represented at the conference. Participants talked about "challenges that we are all facing from a global perspective so that we can see if we can bring together solutions, best practices and find some areas for collaboration going forward," she said. The summit will focus on four distinct challenges that the firefighting community is seeing across the world: large structure fires, climate change's effects on the job, personnel health and fires stemming from emerging technologies like lithium ion batteries in electric vehicles. WTOP-FM 103.5 WASHINGTON, D.C. Bipartisan bill on special districts passes with overwhelming support The U.S. House of Representatives on Monday overwhelmingly passed the Special District Grant Accessibility Act (H.R. 7525) – legislation that would codify a first-ever definition of "special district" in federal law and ensure districts are eligible for all appropriate forms of federal financial assistance. The bipartisan bill was co-sponsored by Rep. Pat Fallon (R) who represents Rockwall County as part of the 4th Congressional District of Texas, along with Brittany Pettersen (D-Colorado). The legislation cleared the House with an overwhelming 352-27 vote and was cosponsored by a number of members of Congress from both sides of the aisle. "The consequence of current law is some communities served by special districts cannot access certain federal funding opportunities, which has a huge impact on the ability of special districts to provide vital services and meet community needs," Fallon said in a statement released by his office on Tuesday.
