| Rooms set on fire during hands-on training in Freeport VIDEO/PHOTOS: Firefighters with the Freeport Fire Department get hands-on training through a live burn and education seminar. School districts, insurance companies and adjusters were at the seminar learning more about the steps to prevent and prepare for potential disasters. During Monday's event at the Stephenson County Fairgrounds, 2250 S. Walnut Rd., the fire department staged three rooms and two vehicles to demonstrate how fire reacts to different materials and situations. Fire Marshal Hillary Broshous said it's not often that the Freeport area gets to receive training like this. "We can learn in a fire situation but this is a little bit safer, especially for our new firefighters and investigators," Broshous said.

| Hybrid fire truck flushes flames in test at Florida fire academy VIDEO/PHOTOS: A blazing tower of flame and black smoke sizzled the air Monday as a bright yellow airport fire truck quietly rolled up, then let loose with its two water cannons. Inside, next to a Jacksonville firefighter, was Mayor Donna Deegan, getting a test ride on the new diesel-electric hybrid truck that the fire department is investigating for purchase from Oshkosh Airport Products in Wisconsin. Dual torrents of water quickly extinguished the towering inferno during the demonstration of the six-wheel-drive Striker Volterra fire truck. Its manufacturer says the truck could save up to 40% in fuel costs due to its ability to maneuver on electric power alone if needed. Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Chief Keith Powers says that is just one reason the city is investigating the truck, which could be used to fight aircraft incidents involving major companies that fly out of Cecil Airport, including Boeing, Pratt & Whitney, Flightstar Aircraft Services and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. JACKSONVILLE TODAY EMT and paramedic program at Ohio college looks to solve national shortage VIDEO: Cincinnati State is building the next generation of first responders amid a national shortage of Emergency Medical Services (EMS). The EMT and Paramedic Program allows students to gain firsthand experience in hopes of bringing more EMTs and paramedics into the field. "It's really about building the program and getting more students to come in ... to get to the paramedic level, you have to start as an EMT, so we're just adding more and more EMT classes to try and open that gateway up for students," said Shawn Stacy, program chair. According to JobsOhio Regional Network, the demand for emergency medical technicians and paramedics is projected to increase by 3.6% in 2030. Despite that need, Madeira & Indian Hill Fire Chief Stephen Oughterson said departments continue to see a decrease in the number of applicants for EMTs. WCPO-TV ABC 9 CINCINNATI 194,000 Jeep plug-in hybrid SUVs recalled over fire risk Stellantis said Monday it is recalling 194,000 plug-in hybrid electric Jeep SUVs to address fire risks after 13 fires were reported, and it told owners to park outside and away from other vehicles until recall repairs are completed. The Italian-American automaker is recalling some 2020 through 2024 model year Jeep Wrangler and 2022 through 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee plug-in hybrids. The issue involves a battery component, the company said. The Chrysler-parent company said the fires occurred when the vehicles were parked and turned off. It estimates 5% of affected vehicles may have the defect. Stellantis said vehicle risk is reduced when the battery charge level is depleted and said owners are advised to refrain from recharging and should park away from structures or other vehicles. The company said a remedy is imminent. NBC NEWS PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
