| Person, dog killed in Round Lake residential fire, authorities say A north suburban residential fire left one person and a dog dead Saturday morning, authorities said. Greater Round Lake Fire Protection District was dispatched to the 100 block of West Providence Lane in Round Lake for a report of a structure fire at 9:48 a.m., Deputy Chief Joe Kruege said. A neighbor saw dark colored smoke coming from the roof. Crews entered the structure, a two-story duplex residence, and found a female occupant on the second floor. She was transported to Advocate Condell Medical Center, where she later died, Kruege said. Two dogs were rescued from the residence and one survived. The identity of the victim is being held pending notification of family, Kruege said. The fire appeared to originate on the first floor in the kitchen area. The Greater Round Lake Fire Prevention Bureau, in conjunction with the Round Lake Police Department and the Office of the Illinois State Fire Marshal, is investigating the cause of the fire. WLS-TV ABC 7 CHICAGO Fire destroys 2 North Side neighborhood auto shops, 1 hurt, Chicago Fire Dept. says VIDEO: The smoke could be seen for miles across Chicago's North Side on Saturday morning as fire consumed a Ravenswood body shop near Andersonville. The shop was located on Clark Street near Argyle. Firefighters battled to limit the spread to the adjacent buildings, including a second body shop and an Orange Theory exercise studio, both of which were closed at the time. "I was sleeping and I heard a muffled explosion," said Chris Randall, a resident. "I sat up and I heard three bigger ones, 'boom, boom, boom,' and fire trucks coming from every direction. Officials said the extra-alarm fire was first called in around 5:00 a.m. The first companies arrived on scene within three minutes. The fire likely started in the Smashy Automotive shop and then spread next door to the Star Auto Repair shop, CFD said. The roofs of both buildings collapsed. WLS-TV ABC 7 CHICAGO Mattoon ambulance service back in service after 4 years After a four-year pause, the Mattoon Fire Department is once again running an ambulance service Ambulances were placed back in service at 7 a.m. on Wednesday. The City of Mattoon originally took the service away to save money, but in November, the fire department won a legal challenge that forced the city to reinstate the service. The department will run ambulance calls in a rotation with a private service. Mattoon Fire Captain Bart Owen said it will help bring more money to the department. "It offsets the cost of the fire department for the city. So we provide a service with the same amount of employees," Owen said. "There is a little bit of cost with the purchase of ambulances and stuff but for the money they generate, it offsets those costs."

In a statement about 12:20 p.m. Sunday, the Coast Guard said the search was suspended due to no signs of distress and no correlating reports of missing persons. Fire officials said they were called out about 5 p.m. Saturday evening. Coast Guard Sector Lake Michigan received a distress call at 5:30 p.m. from a local firefighter who reported a kite surfer wearing a black wetsuit on a grey and black striped kite going underwater on Lake Michigan, officials said. The surfer was reportedly not observed resurfacing.

| 2 Dead Including Firefighter In New York House Fire, Ceiling Collapse VIDEO: A six-year veteran of the FDNY and a civilian died Sunday in a Brooklyn house fire that trapped a team of firefighters after a partial ceiling collapse, city officials said. Firefighter Timothy Klein, 31, was one of more than 100 FDNY members responding to the Avenue N residence in Canarsie — that caught fire shortly before 2 p.m. Sunday — when conditions turned deadly. A second body was later recovered but could not be identified, the NYPD said. Hours earlier, city officials at a press briefing said one resident of the home could not be located. Firefighters were inside the residence when its deteriorating structure prompted officials to call for an evacuation, Acting Fire Commissioner Laura Kavanagh said. Before they could do so, Klein and three other FDNY members became trapped when part of the ceiling collapsed. WNBC-TV NBC 4 NEW YORK Related with Video: FDNY mourns firefighter killed in Brooklyn blaze VIDEO: When Oregon's State Capitol burned to the ground in 1935 It was just before 7 p.m. on April 25, 1935, when Salem residents noticed smoke coming from the Oregon State Capitol building. The city fire department arrived on the scene in minutes, but their equipment couldn't reach the source of the blaze somewhere in the basement. Firefighters fought from a distance as flames engulfed walls and jumped floors. Just an hour after firefighters arrived, the iconic bronze dome topping the building crashed to the ground. Hundreds, then thousands, of residents gathered to watch as the fire burned throughout the night. When morning came, all that remained was a skeleton of broken walls enclosing a mass of blackened debris. The Oregon State Capitol was gone. By the time the smoke cleared, the fire had caused nearly a million dollars worth of property damage and destroyed priceless state records. It also left one firefighter dead. Eighteen-year-old Floyd McMullen had been a college student working at the east Salem firehouse in exchange for lodging. OREGON PUBLIC BROADCASTING Fallen Maryland Firefighters Get An Earth Day Tree Mayor Brandon Scott said on Saturday that he was filled with joy after watching the community come together to celebrate the lives of three Baltimore firefighters who died while battling a house fire in January. Scott made the comment in a social media post after planting a tree at Harlem Park Elementary/Middle School to honor fallen firefighters Lt. Paul Butrim, Lt. Kelsey Sadler, and Kenny Lacayo in West Baltimore on Earth Day. Scott was joined by students from Baltimore City Public Schools, volunteers, Baltimore City Fire Department Chief Niles Ford, and Baltimore City Department of Public Works (DPW) Director Jason Mitchell, according to DPW staff. DPW collaborated with Harlem Park Elementary/Middle School and Bluford Drew Jemison STEM Academy School on the Earth Day festivities, which took place in the 1400 block of Lafayette Avenue, staff said.

Dan Freiberg is a captain with the Goodyear Fire Department and traveled to Ukraine as a volunteer with Team Rubicon, a nonprofit organization that uses the skills and experience of military veterans and first responders to provide aid during disasters and humanitarian crises across the globe. Freiberg's team of 22 people established a clinic at a camp for internally displaced people and worked with the mayor of a Ukrainian city to coordinate shuttling those in need from 15 other camps to receive treatment of physical and mental ailments. "My job was to make sure we were using our team to the highest level of effectiveness," Freiberg said in a press release from the city. "We wanted to be in the places where we could make the highest impact." KTAR-FM 92.3 GLENDALE PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
