| Western Springs Fire Chief Retiring Western Springs Fire Chief Mike Kelly is retiring later this month, the village announced Monday. His last day with the fire department is Sept. 20 after 38 years as a firefighter. The department is set to recognize Kelly's service during a "walk-out" ceremony at 10 a.m. Sept. 28 at the fire station at 4353 Wolf Road. On Monday, the Village Board plans to honor Kelly. In January 2020, Kelly took the helm when then-Chief Patrick Kenny retired after 20 years as a fire chief, the last nine in Western Springs. Kelly was previously the fire chief in Hinsdale, where he served for 24 years, the last four as chief. He later became Bartlett's assistant fire chief. WESTERN SPRINGS PATCH FEMA Awards Braidwood Fire Protection District $1 Million for Staffing Expansion The Braidwood Fire Protection District has been awarded a $1.08 million SAFER grant through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This grant will fund three additional full-time firefighter/paramedic positions for the next three years. According to the Braidwood Fire Protection District, the Staffing for Adequate Fire Emergency Response (SAFER) grant will cover the salary and benefits of these positions. The district aims to increase full-time staffing and improve fire protection and safety for residents. The grant builds on a previous award that funded three firefighter/paramedic positions a year ago. By the end of the grant period, the district will support six full-time positions. After three years, Braidwood will be responsible for sustaining these roles. COUNTRY HERALD PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| VIDEO: Massive strip mall fire in Massachusetts destroys multiple businesses Multiple businesses in Lynnfield were destroyed Tuesday night when intense flames tore through a strip mall. The fire happened around 9 p.m. at the strip mall on Post Office Square. Daylight revealed significant damage to multiple businesses. Lynnfield Fire Chief Glenn Davis said most of the businesses will likely be a total loss. No injuries have been reported following the fire, which happened while the businesses were closed. Initial reports indicated that the fire may have started somewhere near Old Towne Market, which is in the middle of the strip mall. Flames then spread to nearby businesses, including a Dunkin'. Davis said it is an old building with no sprinklers. There's a common attic space that runs the whole length of the strip mall, allowing the fire to spread very quickly. Multiple fire departments were required to put out the flames. WBZ-TV CBS 4 BOSTON Nearly 17K first responders are suffering cancers, diseases linked to 9/11 over two decades later More than 45,000 people are living with the physical manifestations of the September 11 attacks more than two decades after the tragedy. At least 45,200 civilians and officers from the FDNY, NYPD and Port Authority of New York and New Jersey are suffering from at least one cancer or disease that has been directly linked to the largest terrorist attack in history. The whopping total is 1,408% greater than the death toll for the tragedy itself: 2,997 victims were killed in the Twin Tower collapse and aftermath. The shocking number reflects the amount of victims enrolled in the World Trade Center Health Program with verified illnesses — but because the project only recognizes some cancers and diseases, officials warn the true total of sick survivors is much higher. NEW YORK POST Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes helps honor first responders by serving meals and presenting checks VIDEO: Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes was up early on Tuesday to give back to local first responders. Skenes traded his baseball glove for an apron and some bottles of barbecue sauce, serving up a free hot meal and some big checks to local first responders. "The sacrifices that you make, whether you recognize it or not, are more than any of us can ever repay you for," Skenes told first responders. "It's nice because you get a celebrity like Paul Skenes, you know, showing up at these events — a lot of people don't understand we are volunteer, we do get some money from the borough, but most of our money we have to go out and raise," said Chief Joseph Cambest with the South Baldwin Volunteer Fire Company. Skenes, the Gary Sinise Foundation and American Tire Distributors presented six Pittsburgh-area departments with $150,000 to buy life-saving equipment.
