A family fun event quickly went south after two people were injured on a carnival ride. The ride malfunctioned at a festival in southwest suburban Palos Hills. CBS 2's Shardaa Gray caught up with a person who saw the whole incident unfold. "I turn over and the pod had literally flown off the ride, skidded on the rocks and had fallen on top of the lady and the child." In awe, Kelly Thelen had no idea what she just witnessed. "I felt like I could take my cousin there and have a good weekend. We were just shocked that it was happening," Thelen said. Palos Hills police said just before 8:30 Sunday night, they were notified of a carnival ride mishap at the Friendship Festival, near 88th and 107th Street. Officers said the "Spinner" malfunctioned, causing a 40-year-old woman and a six-year-old child to fall out of the ride and on to the ground. "It took several people to lift the pod off of the two injured," Thelen said.

A good Samaritan used his boat to bring rescuers to a man who was in distress in a river in Cary Saturday evening, fire officials said. The Cary Fire Protection District responded at 7:41 p.m. Saturday to Rawson Bridge Road and Beachway Street in Cary for a report of a water rescue. Firefighters were notified of a male subject who was reportedly unconscious in the river, according to Cary Fire Protection District Spokesperson Alex Vucha. The man reportedly jumped from a boat into a shallow part of water and struck the river bottom. The first arriving crews reported the boat and a male patient were still in the river just south of the bridge. A resident used his pontoon boat to quickly transport crews from the Cary Fire Protection District and Wauconda Fire District to the patient, Vucha said.

A massive fire destroyed a multi-million dollar home in Hingham, Massachusetts, on Monday afternoon. The fire was reported shortly before 1 p.m. on Mann Street. Video from nearby showed heavy flames and smoke that could be seen for miles around. According to Zillow, the home was sold on June 10 for $3.2 million. As of Monday afternoon all that remained of the building was its chimney. A nanny and young boy were reportedly at home when the fire broke out, and a painter was also doing work on the second floor. Everyone made it out of the building safely. Neighbors said the family that lives in the home moved in just two weeks ago. One family that lives across the street said they have holes in their roof from wind-blown embers and their fence briefly caught fire.

PHOTOS: A new mural depicting the history of the Clayton Fire Department is on display on the side of Station One in Clayton. The mural was painted by Lacey Crime Art and can be seen driving along West Home Street. The mural tells the story of from a volunteer firefighter group that started in 1883. At the time, the department had a volunteer staff of 40 members, a fire chief and an assistant chief. The brick building in the mural is known as "Old Town Hall." It was built in 1927 to hold Clayton government offices, the magistrate office and the police and fire departments. The building previously had a jail. The building currently stands on the corner of Second Street and Barbour Street and is next to the Clayton Police Department.

PHOTOS: Sometimes no news is good news. For Toni Stithem, a Victoria County volunteer firefighter, the relatively quiet Fourth of July weekend was a good thing. Stithem was one of about a dozen firefighters assigned to fire watch at Patriot Park during the evening of July 4. They stood by just in case any fires broke out. Nothing much happened, Stithem said. Luckily, no fires at Patriot Park meant no story to break — but, there is a story worth telling about Stithem. The 62-year-old mother of four and grandmother of three, joined the Victoria County Volunteer Fire Department in 2017, ostensibly to set up and manage a county fire department Facebook account. Born and raised in a small town, Earlysville, in the middle of Virginia, Stithem moved to Victoria when she married David Stithem, of Victoria, more than 40 years ago.

VIDEO: Firefighters from across the state say they're still recovering from the Combined Locks fire that engulfed a paper warehouse over the weekend. The Combined Locks fire chief said Monday this fire had one of the biggest -- if not the biggest -- fire responses in Wisconsin's history. He also said he couldn't be more grateful for the help from 67 agencies and 700 emergency responders who helped to put this fire out. From Pittsville in the center of Wisconsin to Door County on the eastern edge, agencies from all across the state hurried to Combined Locks Friday. "We knew right away from arriving on scene that this was something we could not handle by ourselves and that we needed help," Chief Ken Wiedenbauer said. Wiedenbauer told us more than 6 million gallons of water from both the river and municipal water supply were used to put out the fire, setting a record for the Combined Locks Fire Department.

VIDEO: New York City launched its newest PSA on Monday with a focus on preparing for a possible nuclear attack. "While the likelihood of a nuclear weapon incident occurring in/near New York City is very low, it is important New Yorkers know the steps to stay safe," the NYC Emergency Management Department said in its press release. The short public service announcement identifies three steps New Yorkers can take "as the threat landscape continues to evolve." "So there's been a nuclear attack," the PSA starts. "Don't ask me how or why. Just know that the big one has hit. OK. So what do we do?" In the event of a nuclear incident, the PSA advises the following actions: Get inside: Move indoors and away from any windows. Stay inside: Close all doors and window, and move into the basement if you have one.
