The public information officer said no one was inside the structure at the time.  

A video released by the Winston-Salem Fire Department on Wednesday shows two firefighters getting hurt while responding to a call for service. On Oct. 5, fire officials were working at East Sprague Street in Winston-Salem when a part of the structure collapsed on two firefighters. Other firefighters on the scene rushed to help the two who were injured and pulled them out of the rubble. Both of the injured firefighters were taken to the hospital where they were treated and released. "We are thankful for your positive thoughts and prayers!" the WSFD posted on social media.  

VIDEO: A South Florida firefighter who is answering the call for volunteers is preparing to head to Israel to help people there. Speaking with 7News on Wednesday, Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue Capt. Jason Friedman said he felt compelled to travel overseas following Hamas' early Saturday morning's surprise attack out of Gaza. "I'm a very firm believer that this is the path that was chosen for me," he said. And that path will take Friedman to the Middle East. "Right now, they need our help, so that's my motivation for going over there," he said. Friedman is a member of Emergency Volunteers Project, or EVP, a group that provides Israel with emergency services support. This is his first deployment with them. Friedman will be gone for two weeks.  

Hundreds of firefighting leaders and experts from across the nation gathered at the National Emergency Training Center in Emmitsburg on Tuesday for the second annual U.S. Fire Administrator's Summit on Fire Prevention and Control. Thousands more tuned in virtually to discuss and listen to important topics in their field. For example, the summit addressed how climate change is driving an increase in wildfires and how lithium batteries can be a fire risk. The batteries catch fire quickly, giving people little time to react. Because of that, fire deaths are increasing, as well. This year's summit had double the attendance from last year's, Evrim Bunn, a spokesperson for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said. Frederick County Fire Chief Tom Coe said in an interview after the event that the summit was motivating and enlightening.  

VIDEO: Sacramento Metro Fire wrapped a fire engine in pink and blue as part of a cancer awareness effort. According to the fire department, the firetruck debuted on October 1 and will stay wrapped through November. The fire department said the truck would still be used in service calls across the department's five battalions. "We understand the profound impact cancer has had on individuals and their loved ones, and we are dedicated to making a meaningful difference through our efforts," the fire department said in a press release. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and pink ribbons are a common symbol used to raise awareness about the disease. Similarly, November is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month and is associated with the color blue.  

VIDEO: According to the U.S. Fire Administration in the volunteer fire service industry, only 11% of the people are women, but in Bono, they are changing that number. The Bono Volunteer Fire Department has six female members of the 27 total making them just less than 25%. For Tracey Snell, it was not something she really thought about. "It is not something I grew up thinking I would do, not in a million years," Snell said. Racheal Blansett is another member of the department and started with the junior program. She said it's not an easy transition. "At first it is tough because you are a female, you must prove your worth. You have to be strong, you have to be level-headed, and be able to talk to the guys," Blansett said. Blansett is not the only junior member who worked her way up.
