| Romeoville Fire Department is the Feature of New Ornament The 2023 Romeoville Village Ornament has been revealed: a replica of the fire department's first fire engine, a 1960 Seagrave. Details abound on this 3-D piece, showcasing hoses in the back, pump piping and a ladder on the sides, and a silver bell on the front. Engine 1 served Romeoville from 1960-1986. Finished in rhodium silver, this brass ornament measures 3" long, 0.75" wide, and 1.25" high with a 1.25" long name oval suspended between the truck and cord. It comes in a red box with black lining and the Romeoville logo is stamped on the lid in silver. For the second year in a row, the ornaments were made in America by the same company who has handled the official White House ornaments since they began in 1981. PLAINFIELD ENTERPRISE 'Pilsen Bomberos', a group of Chicago firefighters, inspire Latino, Hispanic community VIDEO: Meet the "Pilsen Bomberos," a group of Chicago firefighters inspiring their Latino community on Chicago's lower West Side. "It's a great house to be at," CFD firefighter Joseph Morales said. "It's in the middle of the Pilsen neighborhood, great neighborhood." The firehouse on South Damen has a mix of rookie and veteran firefighters that represent CFD Engine 23, Tower Ladder 5. Many speak Spanish, like the neighborhood they serve. "Having Spanish-speaking firemen at this particular house definitely helps out the community, because there are a lot of spanish-speaking people in the neighborhood," CFD firefighter Eduardo Febus said. "You ask most of the fire houses. You say Engine 23, Tower 5, and oh they give you a little nod of respect," CFD Captain Gus Mendez said. WLS-TV ABC 7 CHICAGO PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| VIDEO: One year later, business owner recounts massive Indiana warehouse fire Today marks one year since the massive fire on Morton Avenue tore through a warehouse in the early morning of October 17, 2022. That fire burned across the block the entire morning, and smoldered for the next few days. The Evansville Fire Department was called to the scene and spent several days there before that fire was completely out. We've since learned the fire was started on the third floor of the building after someone started it to keep warm. We also learned last year from Division Chief Larson that there were no injuries. Back in May, some of the debris was cleared, but a large part remains untouched. During the fire, three other surrounding buildings were impacted. Those businesses were at extreme risks, including Evansville Garage Doors, which EFD was able to save. WFIE-TV NBC 14 EVANSVILLE Firefighters face cancer risks from harmful chemicals; here's how some Arizona firefighters are working to limit exposure Frank Granados was training with the Tucson Fire Department when a new firefighting product was introduced at the site. After igniting a pool of JP-4 jet fuel, the crew deployed the product, a type of foam, and extinguished the fire in about 40 seconds, nearly twice as fast as anything they'd used before. "It put out fire like nobody's business. Incredible stuff," said Granados, now a senior advisor for the Rio Rico Medical and Fire District, which serves the town about 15 miles north of the Arizona-Mexico border. It also smelled better than the protein-based foam they were using before, which had animal blood in it. After that trial in the 1980s, the department kept both foams on hand, but in Tucson and across the country, Aqueous Film Forming Foam, or AFFF, became the standard for handling flammable liquid fires, known as Class B fires, for half a century. THE ARIZONA REPUBLIC - METERED SITE NFL tight end David Njoku reveals severity of facial burns after Ohio fire pit accident Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku revealed that he suffered serious facial injuries in a home fire pit accident and wants to raise money for burn victims and research. In statements posted by the American Burn Association and on his own social media, the 27-year-old New Jersey native launched a merchandise brand, "Withstand," to generate those funds. "I want to use my platform to help bring awareness to an all too common issue and shed some positive light on an otherwise unfortunate incident," Njoku said. The accident happened on Sept. 29 in Cleveland, but Njoku still played in the Browns' Week 4 game against the Baltimore Ravens just two days later, said Brandon Austin, co-founder of the player's merchandise promoter Millions. Njoku showed up to the stadium for that Oct. 1 game wearing a full mask over his face. NBC NEWS Every State's Worst Natural Disaster As one of the largest countries in the world, the United States is also one of the most geographically diverse — from forests to deserts to miles of coast line. While this comes with many advantages, this unfortunately leaves the country vulnerable to all kinds of natural disasters. Different parts of the United States face different types of natural disasters. The West Coast is at risk of wildfires, earthquakes, and even volcanic eruptions. The Southern part of the country is frequently hit with tornadoes, and the East Coast faces the threat of devastating hurricanes every year. These natural disasters not only destroy property and present serious problems to the economy, but also claim hundreds of lives every year. Midwestern areas near rivers are often inundated with massive floods. 24/7 Wall St. reviewed government sources on the weather event in each state's history that caused the highest number of fatalities to determine the worst natural disaster in every state. 24/7 WALL ST.
