| Peoria Fire Department hosts Women in Leadership event The Peoria Fire Department hosted a media event celebrating their female firefighters. This event rounded out International Women's Month and showcased the past and future of women in the department. Lore Baxter, Division Chief of Operations for the Peoria Fire Department, is excited for the progress the department continues to make. "We're making history at the Peoria Fire Department, and it deserves a celebration, it shows you where we were and where we're going, and I hope that continues and we hire more females and our department grows," Baxter said. Firefighting is traditionally male-dominated, but the department does not want women to be deterred because of that. One of the female firefighters being celebrated, Riley Taylor, said that the men do not treat the women any differently. WMBD-TV CBS 31 PEORIA Firefighters save children, mother from second-story windows at Danville fire The Danville Fire Department responded to two fires over the weekend and during one of them, firefighters saved two people from falling two stories to the ground. The rescues happened at an eight-unit apartment building located at 1228 Garden Drive. The Danville Fire Department arrived at 4:46 a.m. on Sunday to find heavy smoke coming from the building, with most of the estimated 18-20 occupants safe outside. However, Danville Police officers on the scene advised that multiple people were hanging from second story windows. One of the occupants was hanging from the window after lowering some of her children down to officers on the ground. She ended up falling from the window but was caught by Firefighter Matt Goodner, the first firefighter to arrive. Goodner also assisted in the second rescue, moving a ladder to the opposite side of the building to rescue another occupant with Lieutenant Jason Hotsinpiller. WCIA-TV CBS 3 CHAMPAIGN Lightning Strike Starts Fire In Orland Park Attic A lightning strike caused a fire in the attic of an Orland Park home Sunday evening, officials said. The strike happened around 5 p.m. at a home in the 132nd block of Harvest Crossing in Silo Ridge subdivision, Orland Fire Protection District officials said Monday. The homeowner smelled smoke minutes after the lightning struck his home and immediately called for help, said Fire Chief Michael Schofield. Crews entered the home and found light smoke on the second floor and moderate smoke in the attic space. Several wooden structural pieces and insulation in the attic were found charred and smoldering. Fire crews extinguished the smoldering materials to prevent fire spread, while also trying to minimize water and cosmetic damage to the home. ORLAND PARK PATCH Macon County fire protection districts ask for levy to provide services Macon County voters will decide whether to give more money to their emergency responders. South Wheatland Township and Mt. Zion Fire Protection Districts are both considering tax levies. "In the 70 year history of the fire district we've never asked the voters for any tax increase, and we hate to do that— but unfortunately the time has come," South Wheatland Township Fire Chief Tom Williams told WAND News. Chief Williams said the increased costs and required equipment and training has strapped their budget. "It's going to go towards the purchase of equipment, rising fuel costs, rising power bills, rising price of fire apparatus," Chief Williams explained. WAND-TV NBC 17 DECATUR PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| VIDEO: Firefighters battle large house fire in New York A Soundview house fire has left multiple families without a home overnight, officials say. Firefighters responded to the house fire on Rosedale Avenue at around 11 p.m. Monday. The owners of the home lived there since 2017 and included three brothers and their parents who lived on the second floor and another family downstairs who rented the space. The owners say they were coming back from praying at the mosque for Ramadan when the fire started. Officials say the fire started on the second floor, but it's unclear how. Both families are OK, but the home has been completely destroyed. NEWS 12 BRONX Related Video: Fire captured shooting out of windows of New York home South Carolina fire department adopts new schedule for firefighters VIDEO: Changes are being made to work schedules for some Summerville firefighters that could give them more time with family. Traditionally, firefighters worked 24 hours in a row, and then they would get 48 hours off. So, you would work one day and then have two days off. But a new plan would give them a better schedule and spend more time with their loved ones. "We started off on this idea of giving our guys and gals and opportunity to go to an alternate schedule," explained Summerville Fire and Rescue Chief Richard Waring. They decided to test working 48 hours in a row, followed by four days off, about three months ago. "Put it out for a vote again and over 80% of the department was in favor of keeping the schedules. So all-in-all, I think it will fit their needs and give them a better work/life balance which we're all about," said Chief Waring. WCDB-TV NBC/CW+ 2 CHARLESTON Eye drops recall have caused 3 deaths, dozens of infections, and vision loss for Florida fire captain VIDEO: Fox 4 is following up on a recall for a brand of eye drops called EzriCare Artificial Tears or Delsam Pharma's Artificial Tears. According to the CDC and FDA, these eye drops have caused 3 deaths, dozens of infections, and more than a handful of vision loss cases. It was just 3 days ago that North Collier County said their Fire Captain has been affected by these eye drops. North Collier County Fire Rescue District posted a message on their social media extending their condolences to the captain adding the negligence associated with the product has far-reaching consequences for their department and the residents and visitors within our community. We took the concerns to a local optometrist to get you answers. "We've had phone calls and our patients are not on those lubricants but they are calling asking about what's on the news," says Dr. Jessica Cameron O. D. FAAO. WFTX-TV FOX 4 CAPE CORAL On this day in history, March 28, 1866, first US ambulance service rolls through Cincinnati VIDEO: The first ambulance service in the United States reportedly rolled to the aid of patients in Cincinnati, Ohio, on this day in history, March 28, 1866. "For many years, Bellevue Hospital in New York claimed to have introduced the first citywide ambulance service in 1869, but records show Cincinnati beat them to it," the Cincinnati Enquirer reported in 2018. It was citing the 1978 book, "The Ambulance: The Story of Emergency Transportation of Sick and Wounded Through the Centuries," by Katherine Traver Barkley. The book claims Commercial Hospital of Cincinnati at 12th Street and Central Avenue holds this claim to medical fame. "Hospital employment records listed employee No. 27, James R. Jackson, as an ambulance driver for $360 a year, according to Barkley," the Enquirer reports. "The 1866 Williams' Cincinnati Directory verifies that James A. Jackson worked as a ‘teamster,' or driver, for Commercial Hospital." FOX NEWS Georgia house fire survivor continues to thank first responders 11 years later VIDEO: The survivor of a house fire in Columbus is making good on his mission to reward the crew at the station that came to his rescue. The fire, more than 10 years ago, caused $325,000 in damage. "It was fully involved," Firefighter Jeffrey Yepez told WRBL. "When we pulled out, we could see heavy black smoke. So, we knew it was pretty bad. We had to hurry up and get our gear on really, really quick. I mean, it was fast." Yepez was one of the firefighters that responded to the scene Sept. 28, 2012. That day Jason Martin's car burst into flames while he was working on repairs. "It was the vehicle that I was working on when it caught on fire. Apparently, the fumes got sparked somehow. According to the investigation, it was my old refrigerator that may have sparked the fumes. I actually opened my garage door because I was like, ‘wow, the fumes are so bad here," Martin said.
