| Fort Worth Fire Department mourns death of Captain Thaddeus Rave The Fort Worth Fire Department and community members are mourning the death of a longtime firefighter and captain. On Sunday, fire officials confirmed on social media that Captain Thaddeus "Thad" Raven, 57, has died. According to Fort Worth Fire, Captain Raven had dedicated 25 years of his life to serving the city and was also the Head of Recruitment. Due to his outstanding work, Raven played a significant role in graduating the department's most diverse class of recruits in 2022, throughout its 129-year history. "Captain Raven's legacy with the Fort Worth Fire Department will not soon be forgotten," the fire department said on Facebook. "Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this incredibly difficult time." KXAS-TV NBC 5 FORT WORTH 5 workers injured following partial structure collapse at Oak Grove Power Plant near Franklin The Robertson County Sheriff's Office confirms 5 workers were injured in a partial collapse of a silo on Monday afternoon at the Oak Grove Power Plant near Franklin. According to radio traffic from the scene, there is a silo that has reportedly collapsed and "significant damage around the property." Karen Box tells KBTX that one of the injured was transported to a hospital by a medical helicopter and the other four were taken by ambulance from the scene. The cause of the collapse has not been determined but authorities don't believe there is any threat or issues to the general public.

KVIA-TV ABC/CW 7 EL PASO How Allen's fire and police departments redefined mass shooting response VIDEO: The bravery and coordination shown by first responders who rushed to save lives in the moments after the Allen mall shooting was no accident. In fact, they said the special camaraderie between the city's fire and police departments proved crucial in saving lives. In every corner of the country, historically between police officers and firefighters, "there is a lot of ribbing," "there is a lot of jealousy also." It's the kind of banter these first responders are used to. The jokes and coffee here are plentiful, but it's all just fun and games. KTVT-TV CBS 11 FORT WORTH PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| Colorado teen rescued after falling 30 feet into abandoned missile silo: 'Endless tunnels of danger' VIDEO: A Colorado teen has been rescued from an abandoned missile silo after falling 30 feet inside early Sunday morning. That teen is seriously injured, according to the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office, after responders from several agencies were at the silo near 82000 East County Road 22. That silo is near the town of Deer Trail, about 50 miles east of Denver. The sheriff's office says the teen fell into that silo around 3:30 a.m. and now is safely outside. Rescue teams were able to get into that silo. Deer Trail Fire Chief Rich Loveless said he and crews from his department arrived in the night and called in additional resources to assist in a technical rescue. He says the inherent dangers involved in the rescue meant they needed other agencies to assist with a "high-angle rescue," which involves lowering crews with ropes and other climbing gear and hoisting victims up the same way. CBS NEWS COLORADO Massachusetts city is now capable of detecting radiation threats coming by sea New Bedford is often pitched to tourists for the opportunity to observe its "working waterfront," and with the coming of things like ferry service and now the offshore wind industry on top of being a bustling fishing port, it's only getting busier. That's one reason why New Bedford has been "on the hunt" in recent years for equipment that would safeguard the city from any potential radiation-related threats coming by sea, says New Bedford firefighter and hazmat coordinator Travis Rebello. Now, New Bedford and a number of SouthCoast communities will be able to detect any such threats, Rebello said, thanks to equipment and training provided recently through the federal Securing the Cities program. "It's at zero cost to the city," Rebello said, noting New Bedford got about $150,000' worth of equipment, as well as the in-depth classroom and field training that's been carried out this week by staff from Nevada-based CTOS (Counter Terrorism Operations Support), Rebello said. CAPE COD TIMES - METERED SITE First responders in one Wisconsin city learn to speak Spanish VIDEO: Almost a dozen first responders in the city of Racine recently completed an introductory Spanish language course tailored to their line of work. From January to April, once a week for three hours police officers and firefighter-paramedics go to the class, "Spanish for First Responders" at Gateway Technical College. Racine Fire Department (RFD) Captain Jeff Ayres was also among those who participated. He said he's been with RFD for about 18 years and can't remember an initiative like it. "It was an amazing class," he said. Fellow firefighter-paramedic Ben Stephenson said he took the class to brush up on the Spanish he took in school knowing that would come in handy at work, especially with Racine's growing Hispanic community. "It has come up in the past where I wish I would have known more," Stephenson explained. WTMJ-TV NBC 4 MILWAUKEE 91-year-old donates $500,000 to rural volunteer fire department in Missouri VIDEO: Neighbors helping neighbors is the motto of the Calhoun Volunteer Fire Department. Mark Hardin brought that mindset to the table when he started as Fire Chief back in December of 2021. "There's a sense of pride and community," Hardin said. "It's not just one person. It's all of us." But when he started, it was a department of just one, with old gear and trucks that didn't run. "It needed a lot of work," he said. "Not many of the trucks were in operation. Not many of them ran. Only one ran at the time." So, Hardin opened the doors to the community. He posted on Facebook, hosted trainings almost weekly, and grew his department to where it is now – with 28 volunteer firefighters. The department made repairs to the old trucks and has pride in the work that they do. KMBC-TV ABC 9 KANSAS CITY PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
