VIDEOS: Atlanta playground fire intentionally set, officials say

A Vine City playground was burned down Tuesday afternoon. What's worse is, Atlanta officials believe the fire was set on purpose. SKYFOX 5 flew over a fire at June Elois Mundy Park at around 4 p.m. on Tuesday. Within minutes, firefighters were at the scene putting it out. But, the fire raged just long enough for the equipment to be melted and community green space to be scorched.

Fire department in Tennessee fighting for residency change

VIDEO: The Chattanooga Fire Department is pushing for a change to the city's residency requirements, and they are calling on the community to support their efforts at the ballot box this March. Under Chattanooga's current city charter, firefighters can live anywhere in Tennessee. “Firefighters can potentially live in Memphis and work for Chattanooga Fire Department. But we can't have those same firefighters who live in Rossville, North Georgia, or North Alabama, live in those areas and work for the City of Chattanooga."

Legislators ask for year-round staffing for Cal Fire firefighters

VIDEO: After a month of devastating wildfires that destroyed thousands of homes and ripped through countless acres of brush in California, state lawmakers on Tuesday unveiled a proposal to keep Cal Fire crews on year-round. The decision comes a horrific month in Los Angeles County, when several notable wildfires erupted — most notably the Palisades and Eaton fires. A month before that the Franklin Fire broke out in Malibu, and the month prior the Mountain Fire in Ventura County.

New Orleans launches public safety app, just in time for the Super Bowl

This Sunday, New Orleans will host its 11th Super Bowl, between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, tying it with Miami for the most Super Bowls ever hosted by a single city. In preparation for the sporting event, last week the city’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness launched its new NOLA Ready Public Safety App, aimed at helping city officials and the public stay informed and prepared for large events, such as this year’s Super Bowl, and city emergencies, like severe weather.

French firefighter and Maryland firefighters working together

VIDEO: Firefighters in Salisbury have been getting help from across the pond for over twenty years. The help comes from a firefighter from France who calls Salisbury a second home. “It’s like a second station for me here, everybody is kind to me, that’s a family spirit,” says Eric Dumonceaud, a French firefighter. Over 20 years ago, the Salisbury Fireman’s Muster and Olympics Program took place; a way firefighters from around the country and the globe could work together in a friendly competition. It’s what first brought Dumonceaud to Salisbury.
