Massachusetts fire department lieutenant dies battling 4-alarm blaze A Worcester fire lieutenant died and several firefighters were injured early Wednesday in a fire in a multi-family home. Worcester Fire Department Lt. Jason Menard, 39, of Worcester, died while battling the fire at 7 Stockholm St. When Ladder 5 arrived at the burning building just before 1 a.m. there was heavy fire coming from the building, and firefighters were told that a baby was possibly trapped on the third floor. The fire grew to four alarms, and at one point, firefighters issued a mayday call from the third floor of the building. "Lt. Menard along with his crew from Ladder 5 were making heroic efforts to search for a reported trapped resident along with the baby. While gaining entry to the third floor, Ladder 5 became trapped by heavy fire conditions," Worcester Fire Department Chief Michael Lavoie said. WCVB-TV ABC 5 BOSTON First female Deputy Chief in Minnesota fire department's history She's a familiar face with the Duluth Fire Department. And now, Marnie Grondahl is the first female chief-level officer in the department's history. Dulth Fire Chief Shawn Krizaj appointed Grondahl to be the next Deputy Chief of Life Safety and Administration. She's served in the role of Interim Deputy Chief since May, and was the Fire Marshal for about eight years prior. Chief Krizaj says "Marnie is currently the most senior member of the Duluth Fire Department," and her 32 years of service "continue to show through her leadership and knowledge of fire safety and her overall passion to keep the public safe. It is an honor to work with her, and I am proud to have her serve as a Deputy Chief." WDIO-DT ABC 10 DULUTH Differing guidelines sent to fire, police employees in Louisiana on whether they can attend Trump rally With President Donald Trump holding a rally in two days in Bossier City, members of local police and fire departments questioned if they could attend if they're off-duty. But they've received conflicting answers. Employees are being told two different things from two different state offices, which is putting their supervisors in a sticky situation. While one state lawmaker is looking to change that. The issue of whether municipal police and fire employees can attend President Trump's rally off-duty and in plain clothing started last week. The Office of State Examiner Fire and Police Civil Service sent out emails detailing what employees can and cannot do that's considered political activity. According to the Louisiana Civil Service President Adrienne Bordelon, "if an employee is at a political rally they could face a 30-day working suspension for first offense and termination for 2nd offense of which they can be barred for at least six years." ARKLATEX HOMEPAGE Ohio fire stations add sensory bags for patients with autism The Clearcreek Township Fire Department has added sensory bags to help firefighters and paramedics when they respond to a scene involving someone on the autism spectrum. Firefighter and paramedic Eric Henry was the brainchild behind the department's new addition and did research into what items would help first responders to calm a child or adult with autism. "We were sitting there talking about them visiting the fire department one day and I was thinking about how we were equipped to deal with autistic people within our community," Henry said. "We have a lot of children that we're going to interact with all the time and there is a high probability that we're going to run into someone with autism." The sensory bags contain items to keep the subject's hands busy, reduce the noise around them and even to help them communicate with first responders. Henry equipped all three stations with sensory bags for less than $300. WXIX-TV FOX 19 CINCINNATI Firefighter chopper pad: An exclusive look at 69 Bravo in the Santa Monica Mountains VIDEO: It's a remote mountaintop site with million-dollar views and a priceless purpose. Designated by the Los Angeles County Fire Department as ''Bravo 69'' it's a huge swath of land high above Topanga Canyon with 360 views. The helicopter pad is able to be used by LA County Fire thanks to an unusual ''licensing'' agreement the county made with a retired wealthy businessman who owns the site and was going to develop it. The property is being used for public safety as a refueling facility for fire helicopters, with 10,000 gallons of water on-site in especially tanks, plus hookups to fire hydrant and storage, and more. In a firefight, time is of the essence — to drop water, turn around, re-fill and then get back to the blaze. This location, the middle of the mountains is a crucial resource.
