| Manhattan Fire Mourns Former Volunteer Firefighter & New Lenox Man PHOTO: The Manhattan Fire Protection District is mourning the loss of a beloved former volunteer member. Brian Daniel Chellios, 45, died suddenly Friday, Feb. 2, according to his obituary. Chellios previously lived in Manhattan and most recently in New Lenox. Chellios began his firefighter/paramedic career in 1997 as a volunteer with the Manhattan department. He continued his family's legacy, following in the footsteps of his grandfathers, dad, brother, cousins and uncles. Chellios went on to work his way up the ranks to Chief of University Park Fire Department. Chellios also held all ranks in between, according to his obituary. "Brian was the embodiment of Pride, Duty, and Tradition," his colleagues at the University Park Fire Department said in his obituary. NEW LENOX PATCH Chicago's iconic Palace Grill damaged by fire VIDEO/PHOTOS: Palace Grill, a beloved diner on Chicago's Near West Side, was damaged in a fire Thursday night. The fire started around 10 p.m. hours after the kitchen had closed at 1408 W. Madison St. Firefighters had to open up the roof and the ceiling to get water on the fire. The restaurant suffered "extensive" interior damage, fire officials said. The cause of the fire is under investigation, according to CFD. Palace Grill displayed autographed Blackhawks jerseys and a collection of celebrity memorabilia dating back 80-plus years. "When I first got the call, I just assumed it was going to be something small and then my phone just kept blowing up and blowing up," Palace Grill owner George Lemparis said. "I immediately got in the car and drove here. When I got here, I saw the damage and I was stunned." WFLD-TV FOX 32 CHICAGO Watseka Fire Department expands hours, staff VIDEO: Watseka's part-time fire department has expanded their hours and will soon expand their staff. The department had previously been working on call. Now, thanks to community support, they will be staffing part-time fire-EMS responders five days a week. This will help Watseka and surrounding areas by delivering service in a quicker and more effective way. Starting last week, there are now part-time members in the firehouse, five days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. The department stressed the need to help Iroquois County EMS services as they deal with staffing shortages. "This hopefully provides a little bit of relief on that system itself," said Watseka Fire Chief Ken Baier. Relief that people in Iroquois County need and are now getting.

| VIDEO: Massive fire engulfs 3 homes in Georgia, forcing evacuations Families have been forced out of their homes after a massive fire broke out early this morning in DeKalb County. DeKalb Fire crews responded just after 4 a.m. They say flames ripped through three homes on the 1000 block of Lenox Park Boulevard NE in Brookhaven. Officials say these are large single-family homes that are very close together. Atlanta News First spoke with the homeowner of the house that first caught fire. She told us that she and her husband were at their lake house when her Ring security camera app went off. When she opened the app, she saw flames and immediately called 911. She says no one was in her house. Firefighters say the other two homes that caught fire were occupied and they all managed to make it out safely. ATLANTA NEWS FIRST FDNY busts lithium-ion battery manufacturing operation The FDNY says it busted an illegal lithium-ion battery operation in Queens. Wilson's Electric Scooters and Sales along Queens Boulevard in Rego Park is where the FDNY says it shut down an illegal lithium-ion manufacturing operation. "Nobody teach me. They don't do nothing but take money, give me ticket," owner Wilson Chen said. "We want to make good quality battery for sale, so we need the sample to apply for UL license." "They recovered approximately 60 battery packs and hundreds of individual lithium-ion cells. Approximately 25 e-scooters and 25 combination electric and gas mopeds were also recovered," FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh said. Kavanagh said on Tuesday the FDNY's Lithium-Ion Task Force discovered the business was building battery packs from individual battery cells and replacing old ones in violation of the fire code, creating "Frankenstein batteries."
