| Fire in Cahokia Heights destroys home, kills two dogs VIDEO: Four people narrowly escaped a house fire early Wednesday morning in Cahokia Heights. The fire broke out around 1:30 a.m. at the home located on Judith Lane, just off Falling Springs Road. One person was asleep on the couch when they smelled smoke and immediately acted, getting everyone out of bed. All four people inside made it out safely. There were two dogs outside the house that are safe, but sadly, the two dogs inside could not be found in time. Firefighters from multiple departments, including Camp Jackson, Prairie DuPont, Dupo, and Columbia, responded to the fire. Crews worked for several hours to put out the flames, with Columbia's ladder truck seen spraying water onto the roof. It's believed the fire started in the attic, but the cause is still under investigation. KTVI-TV FOX 2 ST.

| VIDEO: Fire erupts at school construction site in Maryland PHOTOS: A two-alarm fire broke out at the construction site of Joann Leleck Elementary School at Broad Acres, located on Beacon Road near Northampton Drive, late Tuesday evening, according to Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Services officials. Firefighters responded to the scene, finding smoke billowing from the building under construction. "Fire was venting from the roof, and exterior operations were initiated," said Pete Piringer, Public Information Officer for Montgomery County Fire & Rescue Services. Due to the difficult access to the building, aerial tower operations were employed to contain the flames. Units from multiple Montgomery and Prince George's County stations responded to the fire. There are no reports of injuries so far, and the cause of the fire is still under investigation. WTTG-TV FOX 5 WASHINGTON, D.C. With more lithium-ion batteries comes more fire risk; San Diego now has an expert for that Rob Rezende was heading home from a hazmat conference in Sacramento when people started texting him about a lithium-ion battery fire in Escondido. Before his plane took off, he watched drone footage on his phone showing smoke and flames erupting from a container at the SDG&E energy storage facility on Sept. 5. This was the second battery storage facility fire in San Diego County since Rezende became the region's alternative energy emergency response coordinator in April. It is a role carved out especially for him as fires involving lithium-ion batteries grow more common, locally and elsewhere. Rezende, a battalion chief with San Diego Fire-Rescue and a 17-year department veteran, is a nationally recognized expert in lithium-ion battery fires. In his new role, other agencies like Escondido can call on him to look at their fire response.
