| 2-alarm house fire extinguished in Houston PHOTO: Houston firefighters battled a blaze for hours at a massive River Oaks home on Tuesday night. The 2-alarm fire was reported around 10:30 p.m. in the 3400 block of Inwood. The fire department says the house – estimated to be between 8,000 to 10,000 sq. ft. – was unoccupied and under construction. Officials say firefighters tried to make entry but construction and dirt piles in the yard prevented access. Firefighters had to cut down trees to go around the house to try to prevent the fire from spreading to neighboring homes, the fire department says. Officials say weather and a lot of moisture in the air also prevented the smoke from rising, which created zero visibility for firefighters. No injuries were reported. One firefighter had some chest pain but was check out and cleared. The cause of the fire is under investigation. KRIV-TV FOX 26 HOUSTON ‘Two and a half minutes can be all the difference': Amarillo Fire Department compares rescue tools VIDEO: The Amarillo Fire Department put updated equipment to the test, comparing rescue tools used in accidents. At T Miller Wrecker Service, AFD completed extrication training comparing gas-powered rescue tools to electronic-powered tools. Training on the new generation 3 electronic extrication tools, helps AFD with rapid deployment and ease of use to provide the best service possible. AFD uses a spreader, cutter and ram to rip and strip a car during emergency calls. Using gas-powered hydraulic rescue tools, it took eight minutes to remove both doors on one side of the car. With the electronic rescue tools, it took five and a half minutes. "Two and a half minutes can be all the difference with a critical patient, we need to get a paramedic's hands on them as quickly as possible and two and a half minutes can mean the difference between somebody being stable or somebody no longer being stable," said Captain Billy Greeson, Amarillo Fire Department.

| VIDEO: Man dies after running back inside burning California home A man died after he ran back inside a burning home in Mission Hills early Wednesday morning. The fire started inside a one-story duplex located at 10803 N. Noble Ave. and Chatsworth Street, near the Ronald Reagan (118) Freeway, around 3 a.m., according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. All four residents made it out of the burning home safely, before a man in his 70s ran back inside to try and grab some of his personal belongings. Authorities said the flames grew quickly and he never made it back out. Firefighters found the victim inside and he was pronounced dead at the scene. "It appears that there were no working fire alarms inside the home," said David Ortiz, LAFD. It took 32 firefighters 22 minutes to put out the flames. Three occupants of the home were not injured in the fire.
