| 2-alarm fire at San Antonio strip mall started by maintenance work, fire chief says San Antonio firefighters responded to a two-alarm fire on the city's Northeast Side early Wednesday morning. The fire was called in just before 9 a.m. at a strip mall containing Hendrick Painting in the 4200 block of Centergate Street, not far from Perrin Beitel Road and Loop 410. According to San Antonio Fire Chief Charles Hood, the fire started while someone inside was doing maintenance work for the building. The fire was eventually contained and everyone made it out safely, Hood said. Fire crews are now taking extra precautions with the fire since it is possible that the paint store could have hazardous materials inside. The fire chief said they are keeping firefighters cool and hydrated due to the hot temperatures and that they will be at the scene for several hours trying to deal with hot spots.

KOSA-TV CBS 7 ODESSA New Waverly firefighters train for growing needs After a year's hiatus due to the pandemic, Walker County firefighters returned to College Station last week, where they trained in learning valuable new skills and certifications at the world-class Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service Municipal Fire School. The training facility picked up where it left off last week, for the 92nd annual TEEX Municipal Fire School, with over 1,200 students from across the state in attendance and approximately 300 instructors from across the country. New Waverly Fire Department district chief Jimmy Williams returned for his 16th year as an instructor with the school. "They rotate the students through different projects, they're taught fire fighting skills and at the end of the week, they're one step closer to being certified as firefighters at various levels," THE HUNTSVILLE ITEM Austin Fire Department responds to vehicle fire at Domain garage, no injuries reported The Austin Fire Department responded to a vehicle on fire in north Austin on Wednesday.

| 100 evacuated from Michigan apartment fire that crews have been battling since Wednesday night VIDEO: Firefighters have been battling a blaze at an apartment in Westland since Wednesday evening. Three connected buildings encompassing dozens of living units are now wrapped in a blaze that's been moving through the structure since about 11:20 p.m. last night. No one was hurt in the blaze, but many families from the 36-unit structure are now displaced as a result of the fire. The fire managed to move quickly because there were no firewalls between the buildings. Residents were evacuated from the Westwood Village Apartments Wednesday night after a fire grew out of control. No cause has been determined, but authorities are looking at the work that roofers were doing Wednesday on top of one of the buildings that caught fire. WJBK-TV FOX 2 DETROIT Portable fire station makes its way from Canada to South Dakota VIDEO: Along with the bikers headed to Sturgis, a one-of-a-kind, portable Extreme Fire Station arrived right across from the Buffalo Chip. "Just an amazing building. A great piece of equipment to bring out here and to let the fire department, ambulance, and police force used for a few of these Sturgis Rally's that we're all excited for," said Dustin Lee, Production Manager for L&H Industrial. The fire-proof unit took 3 months to build and is on loan to the city of Sturgis for 2 years. While here, the building will act as a demo for the Canadian company. "We're going to be flying in folks from around the country to see it because there's nothing like it in the states. It is literally a one-of-kind, brand new product that we bring to market here," said Lee. Once unloaded, the top extends and the sides pop out for 20 feet of height and 30 feet width. KOTA-TV ABC 3 RAPID CITY New leash on life: Why firefighting dogs are making a comeback Most dogs know a trick or two, but in Santa Clarita, we found a Labrador named Echo, who has one that can bring even the toughest firefighters down to their knees every single time. "It's one fell swoop," said Echo's handler, firefighter Jake Windell. "She'll be standing on all fours and [all of a sudden] she's just on her back, ready to go, and I think it's hard for anybody not to smile when they see a dog on their back waiting for a belly rub." Echo is not just any dog. She's an employee at Fire Station 107. Her job is to put smiles on firefighter's faces — and it's safe to say that she's really good at it. "I think we've all had that experience of going home after a rough day and the dog is just excited to be there," Windell said. "When Echo does that with our crews it just gets our spirits up a little bit." SPECTRUM NEWS 1 Sailor charged in Bonhomme Richard ship fire in California was Navy SEAL dropout VIDEO: The sailor charged with starting a fire that destroyed the USS Bonhomme Richard last year was assigned to the ship after dropping out of training to become a Navy SEAL, and he was described by some fellow sailors as a person who had disdain for the Navy, according to investigators. Details of 20-year-old Ryan Mays and the early investigation into the worst U.S. warship fire in recent memory were revealed in a search warrant unsealed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in San Diego. The Navy confirmed that Mays was the sailor charged Thursday with aggravated arson and the willful hazarding of a vessel. His lawyer, Gary Barthel, said he had not seen the search warrant yet and could not comment on what it said until he had the chance to review it. KSWB-TV FOX 5 SAN DIEGO PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
