 VIDEO: At least two firefighters were injured and hospitalized while battling a fire at a historic home in Dickinson during Tuesday's storms. Dickinson Fire Department, with the help of Santa Fe Fire and Rescue and League City Fire Department, responded to the fire located at a home in the 5000 block of Park Avenue near the Dickinson Bayou. Firefighters attempted to enter the home, which was engulfed in flames, but fire officers eventually ordered all firefighters out due to the risk of injury. Two firefighters were injured and both were transported to the hospital. They have since been released. Officials believe the fire was caused by lightning. KPRC-TV NBC 2 HOUSTON VIDEO: Firefighters were called to a fire early Wednesday morning in La Porte. At 7:10 a.m., the roof of the building, located in the 1200 block of Miller Cut Off Road, was still burning, and clouds of smoke were visible north of SH-225. Thirty minutes later, the flames were out. SkyEye was over the scene, where crews were working on the ground. According to La Porte's Office of Emergency Management, the fire was contained to an office space. All personal are accounted for, officials said, adding that drivers should expect heavy traffic and delays in the area. A banner on the side of the building read INEOS Oligomers. INEOS released a statement to ABC13 about the incident, explaining that the fire happened on the property but outside the main plant. No chemicals or hazardous materials were inside the modular office space, the company said. KTRK-TV ABC 13 HOUSTON A fire damaged a home on the city's South Side late Tuesday night, according to the San Antonio Fire Department. The fire was called in around 11:20 p.m. at a home in the 100 block of Clovis Place, not far from West Harding Boulevard and Pleasanton Road. Firefighters said when they arrived, they saw heavy flames coming out of the front windows of the home. Fire officials said they found two rooms affected by the fire and quickly put it out. No one was home at the time of the fire. Authorities say damage to the front rooms is "substantial" and that the residents living there will be displaced when they return home. A damage estimate was not given. The San Antonio Fire Department and San Antonio Police Department both responded to the call. A fire investigation team is searching for the cause of the fire. KSAT-TV ABC 12 SAN ANTONIO The City of Tyler continues to upgrade its traffic signals to have a better flow of traffic. Those improvements are also being installed with first responders in mind. The traffic signal preemption system is already helping firefighters cut time when responding to emergencies. This feature has been in the pilot stage since December. The traffic signal preemption system will allow fire trucks to give themselves "a green light and a red light to everybody else as they're going through an intersection responding to an emergency call," said City of Tyler Traffic Engineer Cameron Williams. All 10 fire stations within the city are equipped with this technology -- something Williams said they hope to fully roll out by the end of the calendar year. "This is one of the newer versions. We've never had it in Tyler," Williams said. KYTX-TV CBS/CW+ 19 NACOGDOCHES |

 PHOTOS: Evansville firefighters are on the scene of a fire in the 400 block of Northwest Third Street. Firefighters were dispatched to the old Pearl Laundry building just before 2 a.m. Wednesday morning. When crews arrived, they were met with flames shooting from the building. According to Division Fire Chief Mike Larson, fighting the blaze hasn't been easy. Larson says all of the fire equipment put a heavy demand on the water supply, making it difficult to get water to the building at first. That problem has since been solved. The scene is still very active, and parts of downtown are currently without electricity as a result of the fire. "CenterPoint Energy has been down here with us as they always do. Great, great work. They've got the electricity shut off to a big portion of this downtown area here because they couldn't initially isolate the building," says Larson. WHET-TV ABC 25 EVANSVILLE VIDEO: The newest and most expensive truck in the Providence Fire Department's fleet is out of service after a partial roof collapse caused significant damage. The city's fire chief says Tower Ladder One is primarily used for its 100-foot extendable ladder and bucket. Crews responded Saturday afternoon to a fire at a three-story, multi-family home on Stanwood Street. They used Tower Ladder One to reach a third-story window and search for people inside. Once it was in place, a portion of the burning roof fell onto the truck's bucket. "When it was extended in the air, that roof came down into the bucket and effectively turned the inside of this bucket into a fire pit," Chief Derek Silva told 12 News. The interior of the bucket was burned and its cables and controls melted, according to Silva. WPRI-TV CBS 12 PROVIDENCE As the number of fentanyl overdoses soars on Oahu, the City Council is debating whether to arm bartenders with Narcan, a nasal spray that can reverse an opioid overdose. A bill before the body would make Honolulu the first jurisdiction in the country to mandate all bars, night clubs and restaurants that serve alcohol have Narcan on site. Some Honolulu bars, like Proof Social Club in Chinatown, already do. Owner Jasmine Mancos said business is finally getting back to normal following the pandemic. "It's definitely picking up," she said. "We do a lot of live music. DJ's. Different shows." But as Honolulu's nightlife returns, fentanyl has become an emerging threat to the social scene and beyond. "It's definitely an issue," Mancos said. "Not just with bars and night clubs, but restaurants and really, anywhere you go nowadays." HAWAII NEWS NOW Stellantis is recalling more than 132,000 Jeep Cherokees at risk of catching fire due to an electrical problem that a previous recall failed to fix. The company instructs owners to park their vehicles outdoors until the problem can be addressed, though no repair is available yet. Issued last Thursday, the recall concerns the power liftgate module used in some 2014-2016 Jeep Cherokees. As originally built, water could find its way into the power liftgate module and cause an electrical short. A recall in 2015 attempted to fix that issue by replacing the module's organic resin cover with a waterproof one, as well as any corroded connectors. That repair may not have fixed the problem, as the new recall warns that the short could cause a fire in the power liftgate module when the ignition is on or off. THE DRIVE |
