| VIDEO: Explosion, fire rock dock construction company in Wisconsin Three civilian workers and three firefighters were injured in a massive explosion and fire Thursday at a construction company in Waukesha County. The explosion and fire started shortly before 8 a.m. at Summerset Marine Construction on Chapman Lane in Eagle. No deaths were reported. Two workers were taken to the hospital, one with serious injuries. Summerset Marine Construction owner Larry Chapman said the man had a broken leg and was undergoing surgery. He was expected to be OK. Two other workers were treated on the scene. Chapman said they sustained concussions and were dragged out of the building by another employee. "Very unfortunate situation, but we'll get to the bottom of what happened. But for now, I thank God that everybody's alive," said Chapman. WISN-TV ABC 12 MILWAUKEE New Jersey beach sand collapse: Firefighter describes efforts to uncover victims PHOTOS: A New Jersey firefighter says his department is still recovering emotionally after attempting to dig two teenage victims out of a sand collapse at Toms River's Ocean Beach on Tuesday. Despite first responders' efforts, Levi Caverly, 18, died in the collapse of a 10-foot hole he dug on the beach with his 17-year-old sister, whom rescuers saved after hours of digging. "Our prayers are with the family," Brian Kubiel, chief administrator of Toms River Fire District 1, told Fox News Digital on Thursday. Fire department personnel, as well as the close-knit community of Toms River, are "emotional" about the tragic loss of Caverly, but they are grateful they were able to rescue his sister, Kubiel said. The pair, who were visiting the Jersey Shore from Maine with their parents, apparently dug the hole in wet weather, causing the walls to collapse around them while they were inside it.

Tiller trucks are the most maneuverable type of fire apparatus in the fleet of fire trucks. They also come with a hefty price tag. Orem's truck is being built to custom specifications and ,when completed, will cost about $1.6 million, according to Jason Earl, deputy fire chief. The truck will give the department increased compartment space, faster set-up time — which will, in turn, improve response times — improved visibility and safety. Because it is lighter than a typical fire engine, there is less wear and tear on the vehicle and the streets. "When the truck is finished a few employees from the fire department will fly out to Wisconsin and drive it home," Earl said. DAILY HERALD Oklahoma bill signed ensuring firefighters can provide emergency medical transport in limited situations The Oklahoma governor has signed legislation into law giving firefighters the authority to transport patients to the hospital in emergency situations. Senate Bill 1515, written by Sen. Darrell Weaver and Rep. Mike Osburn, was filed in response to a situation where an Oklahoma City firefighter was disciplined for his decision to drive a 3-year-old burn victim to the hospital in his fire truck after waiting 20 minutes for an ambulance to arrive. "The child's parents were extremely grateful for the firefighter's actions, but under the current law, he didn't have the authority to take the patient to the hospital," Weaver said. "SB 1515 ensures important protocols will be followed but allows flexibility in limited emergency situations. I appreciate the tremendous support we received in both chambers and from the governor for this legislation." KFSM-TV CBS 5 FAYETTEVILLE Ford recalls thousands of SUVs because engines might catch fire Ford Motor Co. has asked the owners of 350,000 vehicles to take them into dealerships to be repaired under a three-pronged recall announcement. About 39,000 of those vehicles should be parked outdoors because their engines could catch fire, Ford said. The Michigan automaker said in U.S. government documents posted Thursday that it doesn't know what's causing fires in some 2021 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs. Still, the company said the fires can happen even while the engines are off. There have been 16 reports of fires under the hood and 14 of them were in rental company vehicles. Ford hasn't developed a repair for the fires, which appear to start at the back of the engine compartment on the passenger side. CBS NEWS PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
