"We would like to thank members of the community who contacted ATF and our partners with information, as well as for their outpouring of support for Baltimore City Fire Department and the loved ones of these fallen heroes.

WBAL-AM 1090 BALTIMORE Kentucky fire department receives corvette donation from National Corvette Museum VIDEO: The Bowling Green Fire Department received a unique donation Monday - a fire-engine red corvette from the National Corvette Museum. The corvette will be used this year for school prevention classes, parades, and special events. "Working here going on 125 years, you know, this year and we've had this corvette plant here for quite some time. It just seemed like a seamless team to build here with building our corvette with the last three on the vin number being 911. With them being in our backdoor, us having their logo on our patch, our brand. This was about team," said BG Fire Chief Justin Brooks. Want a chance to own this corvette? The car will be raffled off at the 8th annual Fireman's Ball" sponsored by Serv-pro of Warren County at the Corvette Museum on November 19th. WBKO-TV ABC/FOX/CW+ 13 BOWLING GREEN EMS in one Texas city struggling with staffing due to low wages, union says Negotiating new pay for the first time in four years, the City of Austin received some major blowback after offering a 14 cent raise for entry-level employees in Austin's emergency medical services department. According to the Austin EMS Association, 26% of its staff are considered low income. In a statement, the city said a pay study found the maximum pay for Austin EMTs and paramedics is higher "than that of comparable agencies when you adjust wages for regional costs." Austin EMS Association said that is not true. Selena Xie, president of the association, said the sticking point in city negotiations is the starting wage of $19.56 per hour. "We have a lot of medics who work here that have not worked here that long, she said. "All of those medics are making these poverty wages." The association asked for that base pay to be increased to $27 per hour – and they believe the city's counteroffer of $19.70 per hour falls short. KXAN-TV NBC 36 AUSTIN Oklahoma City bombing first responders now lead their departments VIDEO: Two young first responders to the Oklahoma City bombing are now leading their departments. It is their mission to make sure new OKC fire and police recruits know what happened that day almost 27 years ago. Both men responded in the hours and days after a bomb went off outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building that killed 168 people. "It wasn't just a rescue and recovery, it was an investigation," Oklahoma City Fire Chief Richard Kelley said. Oklahoma City police Chief Wade Gourley was 26 years old and Oklahoma City Fire Chief Richard Kelley was 24 years old. "The whole thing was a crime scene, so everything that came out of there had to be sifted through and looked at for any potential evidence," Gourley said. Kelley worked to rescue and recover victims and spent days moving debris, bucket by bucket. KOCO-TV ABC 5 OKLAHOMA CITY PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
