A fire reignited at the Shell Deer Park Chemical Plant, several hours after it was extinguished on Saturday. According to the Deer Park Office of Emergency Management, the fire has rekindled and firefighters are back putting it out. The fire was still burning on Sunday. The city of Deer Park said officials have gone over their wastewater storage capacity because they are using a large amount of water on the fire. Runoff water is also being moved toward a channel. The city expects to continue to use more water to fight the blaze. Sunday evening, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez tweeted an update saying the fire continues to burn, but is contained to a controlled zone. Gonzalez said runoff water was directed to the Houston Ship Channel as part of a controlled discharge and boom has been deployed to prevent any product from entering the channel.  

This month marks 10 years since the deadliest day in the history of the Houston Fire Department. A fire at the Southwest Inn on Highway 59 claimed the lives of five firefighters and injured 12 others. Robert Bebee, Robert Garner, Matthew Renaud and Anne Sullivan were killed when the roof collapsed, trapping them inside. Capt. "Iron Bill" Dowling was badly burned and lost both legs. He died in 2017 from complications related to his injuries. The memories of the firefighters lost on that day have lived on in a multitude of ways, including a foundation named after Capt. Matthew Renaud. The sole purpose has been to raise money to help firefighters critically injured and their families. "100 percent of our funds go to Houston firefighters and their families," David Renaud said.

VIDEO/PHOTOS: The National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service was held Sunday in Emmitsburg, Maryland, to honor 144 fallen firefighters. The event, hosted by the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF), was held at 10 a.m. The 42nd National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend events honored 144 fallen firefighters; 79 firefighters who died in 2022 and 65 who died in previous years. On Saturday, a candlelight service was held at 7:30 p.m. This is the first time the memorial weekend was held in May rather than October, as it has been for decades due to the frequent uncertainties of October weather along with potential federal government shutdowns, according to the foundation.  

VIDEO: A first responder that tossed his cookies ended up helping a bakery go viral on social media. An apology in the form of a gag cake has drawn millions of eyes to a St. Albans sweets shop. Jacob Hernandez is a Charleston firefighter who took his annual physical agility test in March. "I get about halfway through the test after doing the Kyser test of evolution and I can feel it coming," Hernandez recalled. The first responder admits his nerves got the better of him and he got sick on the course, but was able to finish. "There's a tradition here. After you pass your year test you buy steaks and desserts for everybody," Hernandez said. That's when he reached out to Lil' Bit of Heaven Cupcakes. Owner Teri Blevins spoke with Eyewitness News about the conversation.
