VIDEO: A man was burned while helping his family escape from their home after a fire broke out Monday night in their home on the far west side of town. Officials say the family's dogs also made it out safely after their home in the 2500 block of White Deer Lane caught fire around 9:30 p.m. Firefighters say his wife and two children escaped as crews battled the flames. The father was taken to University Hospital to be treated for his burns. Unfortunately, the family won't be able to return home after all of this. Firefighters arrived to find heavy fire coming from inside the home and by the time they got inside, there was debris everywhere. Fire crews say this made it difficult for them to shut off the utilities to the house. They were able to contain the fire to the property, but heat caused a part of the home next door to melt.  

PHOTOS: Authorities are piecing together how a church in Channelview caught fire overnight Tuesday. It happened a little after 2:15 a.m. at the corner of Dell Dale and S Brentwood St. off East Freeway. That's where officials with Channelview Fire Department were called, along with Crosby, Highlands, and several other agencies to respond. According to a Channelview FD District Chief, initial crews found heavy smoke and flames coming from the roof. As a result, the building suffered additional damage. There was no power, and the church was vacant at the time; however, it's unclear if the lack of electricity was due to last week's storm or if the church was shuttered. The cause of the fire is unknown, as a result, and no injuries were reported.  

Lubbock Fire Rescue responded to a structure fire at 9:20 p.m. on Monday at Bone Daddy's restaurant. Firefighters that first arrived on scene saw smoke and a fire on top of the roof, according to an LFR social media post. The fire was in the kitchen/smoker area. LFR says the fire was put out and no injuries were reported. An investigation is underway on what caused the fire.  

PHOTO: Home Depot is paying $1.3 million in fines after an investigation revealed fire code violations following an arson that burned a South San Jose store to the ground, prosecutors said. Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen's office announced the fine against the hardware giant Monday, which followed an investigation by the DA's office and the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives into the 2022 fire that destroyed the store on Blossom Hill Road. "Fire code violations are potential tragedies in waiting. Ignoring them isn't just risky; it's reckless. It risks far more than property. It risks lives," Rosen said in a statement. On April 9, 2022, a man trying to steal tools set a fire in the store. The fire quickly spread, destroying the 98,827 square foot store, causing an estimated $17 million in inventory loss.  

VIDEO: D.C. fire officials say drivers are double-parking near firehouses, leading to delays that could have life-or-death consequences. Firefighters at 414 8th St. SE more frequently see ride-share and delivery drivers parked in the marked area, often leaving vehicles unattended. Saturday, when firefighters there were rushing to a call for a crash on Interstate 295, they were blocked by a double-parked car. "They were blasting their airhorn and their siren," said Vito Maggiolo of D.C. Fire and EMS. "Nobody came to the vehicle initially. When the driver did come out, he was very nonchalant about it. No sense of urgency." The firefighters were supposed to be blocking the road to prevent other vehicles from entering the scene where other firefighters were trying to help the injured, Maggiolo said.  

VIDEO: An American flag flew gently in the breeze at half-staff Monday outside of Fire Station #1 in Canton. Inside, the gear of Jared Kneale, including his helmet, gloves and boots, were displayed by a fire truck as a tribute to a man who was loved by so many. "Words can't express the loss. Jared was a great guy. He's the guy that everybody ran to. He was the guy who lit up the room," said Division Chief Steven Henderson. On a touching Canton Fire Facebook post, Kneale was also remembered as the "head chef" at the station who had an infectious laugh and always looked to help others. Firefighters were devastated to learn that Kneale, a 42-year-old married father of six children, died from suicide last Friday. With permission from Kneale's family, firefighters shared part of the story to create awareness, and because they believe something positive must come out of the death.
