VIDEO: Fire officials say massive barn fire in Illinois caused an estimated $1M in damages A large fire erupted at a barn in north suburban Woodstock on Monday, causing an estimated $1 million in damages, fire officials said. According to officials with the Woodstock Fire/Rescue District, the fire broke out at around 10:25 a.m. in the 1600 block of South Rose Farm Road. Firefighters arrived at the scene within six minutes and came upon a large barn that had been completely engulfed in flames, officials said. Crews initially had a difficult time accessing parts of the barn due to strong winds and downed power lines, officials said. According to fire crews, efforts to extinguish the flames were complicated by the lack of nearby fire hydrants. Several tankers were required to shuttle water to the scene as the nearest hydrant was more than two miles away, according to the Woodstock Fire Rescue District.

King County has seen elevated drowning numbers over the past four years, with the number of deaths increasing more than 60% since 2018. Now, Seattle firefighters respond to about 70 water rescues a year, according to recent data from the Seattle Fire Department. As more people head to the shore for the 4th of July and summer heat, Seattle Fire's new water vessels couldn't come at a better time. The watercrafts were gifted to the department from the Seattle Firefighter Foundation. They were unveiled to the public on Monday, and the department tells FOX 13 the watercraft will make response times quicker. KCPQ-TV FOX 13 TACOMA Man saved by Massachusetts' first ever whole blood transfusion from car crash site It took 45 minutes for firefighters to get a 35-year-old man out of a "heavily damaged" car following a car crash on Saturday, officials said. The man's injuries were extensive, with low blood pressure, shock and internal bleeding. Quickly, firefighters and paramedics decided to try a new lifesaving method starting at the crash site: whole blood transfusion. The method had never been done in Massachusetts before, according to the Canton Fire Department. However, in March, the Canton Fire Department and 25 other cities and towns in Massachusetts worked with Boston Medical Center to launch the first pilot program in Massachusetts history for administering whole blood before a patient reaches the hospital, the press release stated. On Saturday, the fire department put it into action. THE REPUBLICAN - MASSLIVE PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
