WLS-TV ABC 7 CHICAGO Old Friendship House Nursing Home in Centralia Destroyed by Fire PHOTOS: A suspicious fire destroyed the old Friendship House Nursing Home at 1000 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in Centralia Friday afternoon. The first Centralia City firefighters on the scene found fire in the southeast section of the structure which quickly spread through the ventilation system and attic to all three wings of the old nursing home. The roof was burned off the facility while walls remain standing, including the inside walls that were constructed of brick. All off-duty Centralia City firefighters were called in and mutual aid was received from the Centralia Fire Protection District, Odin, Sandoval, Salem, Mt. Vernon, Iuka and Jefferson Fire.

VIDEO: 3 firefighters injured after store signs come crashing down at New York fire Three firefighters were injured after two giant store signs came crashing down at the scene of a fire in Washington Heights. Flames broke out at 1281 St Nicholas Ave. near 174th Street just before 2:30 p.m. Saturday. The firefighters had just finished putting out a fire that swept through the stores - a snack shop and a beauty salon. Dozens of EMS rushed to help the firefighters, who were brought to the hospital and treated for minor injuries. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. WABC-TV ABC 7 NEW YORK CITY Salt Lake City Fire Department unveils state-of the-art bright green fire truck VIDEO: The Salt Lake City Fire Department has taken possession of a new state-of-the-art airport rescue vehicle now stationed at Salt Lake City International Airport's Fire Station 12. The new bright yellow-green vehicle is a brand new 2023 Rosenbauer Panther apparatus or ARFF (Airport Rescue Firefighting Rig) as the firefighters at the station call it. The new vehicle, two to three times larger than your average firetruck, is designed to respond to any airport aircraft crashes or rescue missions. The Salt Lake City Fire Department now has four of these vehicles. The current vehicle replaced a much older ARFF rig that SLC Fire says was dated in capabilities. "Basically, what this is, is just a large tank," said Capt. Brandt Hancuff. KSTU-TV FOX 13 SALT LAKE CITY VIDEO: Downtown Los Angeles street takeover ends in inferno PHOTOS: Video shows a wild street takeover in downtown Los Angeles coming to a fiery conclusion overnight. Preliminary information from stringer service OnSceneTV indicates the takeover occurred at the intersection of 18th and Main streets before 3 a.m. Saturday. A Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson confirmed the location and stated that upwards of 50 cars were present. Officers were originally dispatched on calls of fireworks being lit, the spokesperson added. The sideshow, which was attended by hundreds of people, ended with two vehicles ablaze in the middle of the intersection; it was not immediately clear if they were deliberately set on fire or if they caught fire due to another source. Traffic was seen maneuvering around the inferno and while some motorists honked their horns, others seemed to drive by as if all were normal. KTLA-TV CW 5 LOS ANGELES The unique way one Colorado fire department is spreading awareness of firework safety in the community VIDEO: The Colorado Springs Fire Department took to social media ahead of the Fourth of July and created a fun tik tok to spread awareness that fireworks are illegal in the city. In the TikTok video, a firefighter is holding a firework trying to figure out if they should light it, with the audio "don't do it" in the background. When they finally go for it, another person sprays the man and a firework with water. CSFD says this year they wanted to take a lighter approach to spreading awareness that they hope will translate to a larger audience. "A lot of times we see just some graphics that will say ‘hey fireworks are illegal' and we really wanted to come up with a way that we could get the message across to our community and have a little fun. We kinda air on the side of the fun things when we have serious topics because we want to make sure it's a little bit more relatable to people," said CSFD official Ashley Franco.
