| VIDEO: Firefighters battle fire at Kansas recycling plant PHOTOS: Fire crews from both Sedgwick County Fire District 1 and the Wichita Fire Department are still fighting a fire at Evergreen Recycle in north Wichita. The fire broke out Sunday night in the 300 block of W. 53rd Street North. The fire was clearly visible on KSN's SkyView camera. The Wichita Fire Department said a large mass of wood products was burning and that thousands of gallons have been dumped on the fire. Crews are still working to get the fire under control due to the depth of the materials involved. The Salvation Army South Central Area Command's Emergency Disaster Services teams were deployed late Sunday night to provide hydration and food support for firefighters. KSNW-TV NBC 3 WICHITA Boston firefighters help surprise teen with Halloween costume that fits his wheelchair VIDEO: A high school student from Roslindale got the perfect Halloween costume to complement his wheelchair on Friday. Jose Bello suffers from muscular dystrophy, which leaves him wheelchair-bound, but he also loves firefighters. This Halloween, his mother reached out to a company called Magic Wheelchair to get her son a costume. Much to her surprise, the company, along with the Boston Firefighters Union, made her son a firetruck costume complete with lights and sirens. "When I heard of Magic Wheelchair and saw the incredible work that they have done especially for MDA families, I knew I wanted Jose to have this experience as well," said mother Stephanie Bello. She filled out the application and said he wanted a fire truck. "For as long as I can remember Jose has always admired and loved firefighters," Stephanie said. WBZ-TV CBS 4 BOSTON Georgia fire department to offer virtual fire inspections Statesboro Fire Department has announced that beginning November 1, 2022 they will be offering "Virtual Fire Inspections" for certain types of fire safety inspections. The department says the program is intended to make fire inspections easier and more convenient for business owners and their employees. The program will focus primarily on re-inspections, which account for approximately 25% of the department's total fire inspections each year. "As with any organization or business, we are always looking for ways to improve the services we deliver to the community," says Fire Chief Tim Grams. "Our hope is that the Virtual Fire Inspection Program will allow our fire inspectors to be more effective and efficient in their duties while also offering a more convenient option for the business owners." ALL ON GEORGIA Michigan firefighters get married after fighting warehouse fire VIDEO: A joke over breakfast turned into a life-changing moment for two Lower Michigan firefighters.

His wife, Stephanie Halliday, is also a firefighter at the nearby Beaver Creek Fire Department. Stephanie joined Beaver Creek in June 2021 and completed the fire academy in May 2022.

WLUC-TV NBC/FOX 6 MARQUETTE EMS, community college in North Carolina launch new program aimed at paramedic recruitment The future of recruitment in emergency services is changing, and Burke County is getting a head start. Burke County EMS and Western Piedmont Community College are partnering to offer the region's first EMS Academy next year, where participants will earn all the credentials they need to to be paramedics. The twist is participants will go through the program on the county's payroll, getting paid for 40 hours a week while they learn the ins and outs of EMS work and get hands-on, field experience, said Burke County EMS Maj. Nikki Hudson. When they finish the program, they'll be first in line to fill positions at Burke County EMS. The entire program comes at no cost to the students, Hudson said. This is the second academy of its kind in the state, as far as Hudson is aware. "We're going to take people that have no EMS credentials but want to get into the field of emergency services and become a paramedic, we're going to put them on payroll and send them to school," Hudson said.
