At 5:30 p.m. the fire department was on the scene of a structure fire on Pederson Street near Engineers Cutoff Road. Chief Travis Mead was in command. Chief Mead gave a detailed recap of last night's firefighting. "At about 5:30 pm yesterday we were toned out to a house fire, residential structure fire on Pederson. We responded there and on arrival, we encountered a home three-story residential home that had had a fire on what we call the Charlie Delta corner. The fire had already vetted out one of the exterior windows and was making its way up the site at home. We had at least two fire engines, multiple ambulances, and multiple volunteer staff responding to this location. The way that the road is set up, there's a long dirt road that has a hydrant across Engineers Cut Off and there's another hydrant down the road aways."

| VIDEOS: Fire heavily damages marina warehouse in Connecticut A marina warehouse in Mystic was heavily damaged in a four-alarm fire late Sunday night. Multiple departments responded around 9 p.m. to Washington Street on the Stonington side of Mystic for the massive fire at the Seaport Marine Warehouse. "It's an older building that's been around as long as I've been here which is 26 years," said Bruce Flax, president, Mystic Chamber of Commerce. The Salvation Army New London Canteen said it responded as well. The fire started at around 8:45 p.m. and quickly grew. Crews had to use water from the Mystic River to help extinguish the flames, which were visible for hours. "It's sad, it's always sad when something like this happens," Flax said. "It looks like nobody was hurt which is good." The Whalers Inn, a boutique hotel, was evacuated because of the amount of smoke in the air. WFSB-TV CBS 3 HARTFORD Related with Video: Raging fire destroys popular New England marina overnight Alabama the 1st state to include peer support training in fire recruit curriculum Alabama has become the first state in the nation to add peer support training to its curriculum for new fire school recruits, thanks to funding from the Alabama Department of Mental Health and support from the Professional Fire Fighters of Alabama (PFFA). According to reports, 37% of firemen and women have battled post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and firefighters are three times more likely to die on the job than those in other careers. Tragically, one firefighter loses his or her life to suicide every two days. The statewide peer support program will be a valuable keystone in aiding fire personnel in need according to International Association of Fire Fighters General President Edward Kelly. "Adding behavioral health and peer support counseling training into the recruit curriculum is groundbreaking work," he said. THE CULLMAN TRIBUNE 2 rescued hours after small plane crashes into Maryland power lines VIDEOS/PHOTOS: A pilot and passenger were rescued from a small plane hours after it crashed into a Pepco tower and power lines Sunday evening near Montgomery County Airpark in Gaithersburg, Md. According to the FAA, the single-engine Mooney M20J departed from Westchester County Airport in White Plains, New York and crashed in Gaithersburg at about 5:40 p.m. Sunday. The plane was left dangling about 100 feet in the air, according to Pete Piringer with the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service (MCFRS). It made it tricky for crews to free the people trapped inside the plane. After several hours, around 2:50 Monday morning, crews got the plane on the ground. Power has since been restored to thousands impacted. Maryland State Police identified the pilot as Patrick Merkle, 65, of Washington, D.C. The passenger is identified as Jan Williams, 66, of Louisiana. WJLA-TV ABC 7 WASHINGTON D.C. 80th anniversary of Cocoanut Grove fire in Boston, deadliest nightclub fire in US history VIDEOS: In the blink of an eye the Cocoanut Grove, one of Boston's swankiest nightclubs, became an unimaginable inferno — trapping hundreds of panicked victims as they jammed the club's exits. In less than 15 minutes, 492 people were dead and another 166 injured, making the blaze the deadliest nightclub fire in U.S. history. While no one knows exactly how the fire started 80 years ago on Nov. 28, 1942, its influence on fire and safety codes and on the medical treatment of burn victims still resonates. The fire started at about 10:15 p.m. as revelers packed the club near the city's South End on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, hoping to forget about the early days of World War II for a few hours. The first flames broke out in a basement portion of the club, known as the Melody Lounge. WCVB-TV ABC 5 BOSTON PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
