It's not something that's on the radar of most residents, but there was good news announced last night for those living in Wood River. Fire Chief Wade Stahlhut received a welcomed surprise when he opened a letter from the Insurance Services Office last week and got the city's most recent score. An ISO fire rating is a score provided to fire departments and insurance companies and reflects how prepared a community and area is for fires: The rating scale is from 1 to 10, and lower scores translate into better insurance rates for residential and commercial property owners. The score mainly focuses on the local fire departments and water supply, but there are other factors that contribute to a department's score.

Lollapalooza is over, but the cleanup from the four-day music festival will take a while. On Monday in Grant Park, workers were taking fences down and loading pallets of equipment onto semi-trailer trucks to haul away. Organizers tell us most of the tear-down will be completed by Thursday. Meanwhile, the number of people who had some kind of emergency at Lollapalooza is down. The Office of Emergency Management and Communications said 68 people were transported by ambulance from Lollapalooza this year, compared with 102 last year. There were 12 ambulance transports on Thursday this year, 14 on Friday, and 21 each on Saturday and Sunday.

Sioux Falls police say a man is facing multiple charges after crashing a car into a gas station. Police spokesman Sam Clemens said around 2:30 a.m. on Saturday, a man was driving south on Minnesota avenue and tried to turn left onto 41st street. The driver did not complete the turn but instead drove through a gas station parking lot, hitting a gas pump before hitting the front of the building. Authorities say a small fire started as a result of the gas pump being hit, which firefighters were able to extinguish. The driver left the scene before authorities arrived. The suspect, Jeremiah Hudson, 26, from Sioux Falls, was found a short time later in Brandon. Hudson was arrested for Reckless Driving, Hit-and-Run, 1st Degree DUI, and Possession of Marijuana. No injuries have been reported.

VIDEO: Aug. 1, 2022 marks 15 years since the Interstate 35 bridge in Minneapolis collapsed, killing 13 people and injuring over a hundred others. For at least one Iowan who was responding in the aftermath, it still feels recent. Ankeny Fire Chief James Clack started the job back in 2014, but before that, he held the same job in Minneapolis. Remembering when he first arrived on the scene of the collapse, Clack said, "It was almost surreal. It looked like a movie set, almost. That was the first thing that went through my mind: 'Is this real?'" Aug. 1 has been an important date for Clack for a long time, even before the accident. "I think about it every year. August 1 happens to be my wedding anniversary, so [my wife and I] were going to go out to dinner that night," he said. But those plans were interrupted by a flurry of calls over the radio.

When a business owner and beloved member of Denver's East Colfax neighborhood was shot outside her apartment late July 15, four calls to 911 — including the first one made — went to Aurora's emergency operations center, most likely because the callers were using Verizon as their wireless carrier. Technology exists to more accurately route 911 calls from cellphones to the correct 911 communications center, but Verizon — one of the three major carriers in the United States — has refused to install it in Denver and other parts of the country. T-Mobile and AT&T put the technology in play in Denver earlier this year, said Andrew Dameron, director of the city's 911 service. But Verizon declined even after city officials asked the company to do so. "Their response was they essentially are not doing the same thing that AT&T and T-Mobile are doing but believe the onus is on the states and 911 authorities to come up with solutions to use that technology," Dameron said.

Ray Olsen has had it with the pictures. He's been leaning against the front bumper of a 1966 American LaFrance fire truck, posing for photos as best he can, but there's a limit, and Ray, a man for whom vanity is not a strong point, has reached it. "That's it," he says as Deseret News photographer Ben Braun pauses to check the latest digital images on his camera. "I'm sorry," Ray quickly adds, relieved when he sees that Ben, as requested, is packing up his camera gear and he can be confident his torment is over. "I'm not a picture man." What he is is a fire chief, and if the media wants to help him get the word out that the fire truck he's leaning against is going up for auction, he's all for it. In his line of work — namely volunteer firefighting — it's called just part of the job.
