| Savoy, Tolono fire trucks slide off road in icy conditions VIDEO: Both the Savoy and Tolono Fire Departments had fire trucks slide off the road while responding to the same rolled-over semi on Monday. Everyone was ok from the two departments, but there was minor damage to both Savoy and Tolono's trucks. "A bigger truck, it can be a little harder to control simply because it's bigger and it's heavier," said Eddie Bain of the Savoy Fire Department. "Sometimes that gains you an advantage if you have less traction, but you have a bigger, heavier vehicle, that can that can add to your traction. But on ice, all bets are off." Firefighters also want people to be on the lookout for tape around vehicles before calling 911. They said the same semi-truck got two separate calls, and had the second caller noticed the tape, the sliding firetruck incident could've been avoided. WCIA-TV CBS 3 CHAMPAIGN Odin Fire Chief says 2023 was the busiest in the department's history Odin Fire Chief Greg Smith says 2023 was the busiest year in the department's history. The department handled a total of 411 calls, including 78 fire calls, 270 rescue calls which includes EMS and auto accidents, 17 hazardous condition calls, 36 service calls, seven good intent calls and one false call. The department reported a property loss of $88,200 during the year. There was one civilian death and two firefighter injuries. Smith says they are looking forward to the arrival of their new truck which will serve multiple purposes. It's arriving in mid February. In 2023 we also have purchased in Self Contained Breathing Apparatus which replaced SCBA that were 25 years old. Smith is also thanking everyone in the community and surrounding community that continues to support our firefighters' picnic and other fundraising efforts.

| VIDEO: Man dies after running back inside burning California home A man died after he ran back inside a burning home in Mission Hills early Wednesday morning. The fire started inside a one-story duplex located at 10803 N. Noble Ave. and Chatsworth Street, near the Ronald Reagan (118) Freeway, around 3 a.m., according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. All four residents made it out of the burning home safely, before a man in his 70s ran back inside to try and grab some of his personal belongings. Authorities said the flames grew quickly and he never made it back out. Firefighters found the victim inside and he was pronounced dead at the scene. "It appears that there were no working fire alarms inside the home," said David Ortiz, LAFD. It took 32 firefighters 22 minutes to put out the flames. Three occupants of the home were not injured in the fire.
