 VIDEO/PHOTOS: A large house fire has been reported in a Machesney Park neighborhood Thursday afternoon. Firefighters from several departments have been called to a house fire in the 1000 block of Brentwood Rd. A 13 WREX crew at the scene reports that authorities have blocked off the neighborhood as firefighters work on putting out the blaze. The fire appears to have destroyed the garage area and spread to the roof of the home. There was immediate no word on any injuries from the fire. Eyewitnesses at the scene say the fire may have spread to a neighboring home, but a 13 WREX crew reports that firefighters were able to prevent the fire from spreading to other structures. WREX-TV NBC 13 ROCKFORD A massive fire destroyed a barn in far west suburban Sugar Grove Thursday. Firefighters from Elburn and Countryside assisted in containing the fire in the barn at 3-S-598 Bliss Rd. The fire was in a rural area with no fire hydrants, requiring tanks of water to be shuttled in. The barn was destroyed in the fire. The blaze spread to another structure that sustained minimal damage. Officials say the cause was outside burning on a red flag warning day - which means a combination of warm temperatures and winds caused the rapid spread of the fire. No one was hurt. WBBM-TV CBS 2 CHICAGO Hundreds of firefighters from across the Chicago area gathered in Glenview on Wednesday for some intense training simulating a raging fire in a high-rise building. CBS 2's Noel Brennan reported it's a rare chance for hands-on training that could save lives. There's a fine line between training and battling a fire. Bob Hoff and fellow instructors from the Illinois Fire Service Institute offer a one-of-a-kind experience in Glenview. "If you get overwhelmed, all's I want is the company officers," Hoff told the trainees. The victims are fake, but the first is very real. "This is the real deal," Hoff said. "They have fire conditions. They have heat conditions. They have heavy smoke conditions." Nearly 20 fire departments from northern Illinois practiced together fighting a rare and risky kind of fire.

WBBM-TV CBS 2 CHICAGO VIDEO: The Anchorage Middletown Fire & EMS team has a new way of treating patients dealing with pain, that's also addressing the state's opioid epidemic. It's called the Nitronox and it's inside every AMFEMS ambulance. It's a portable machine that uses a mix of oxygen and nitrous oxide to treat patients for pain while they're on a scene or in the back of an ambulance headed toward the hospital. While it's small enough to fit in a lunch box, it's powerful enough to be a game changer. "I definitely think this is the future," said Capt. Alex Russell, AMFEMS. "If we have a patient who is in pain, and we need a quick relief, we can set this up within a minute. We had a patient that had fallen down on the ground, with a possible leg fracture. She wasn't able to move, and we were able to immediately grab this, and start administering nitrous. She had immediate relief." WLKY-TV CBS 32 LOUISVILLE VIDEO: A team effort was underway in Escondido to rescue one of their trucks from an "active sinkhole" that formed beneath the truck Thursday evening. Escondido police said they heard the radio call for assistance around 4:40 p.m. from a firefighter who said their engine had partially succumbed to a sinkhole in a church parking lot in the 1000 block of West Country Club Lane. Video from Chopper 8 showed the front driver's side tires sank about halfway into the asphalt. Escondido Fire Department said that personnel aboard the fire engine were previously responding to a medical call in the area when the fire truck became stuck. By 5:30 p.m., a tow truck had arrived on the scene to assist in pulling the heavy engine from the rubble of the asphalt. No injuries were reported. KFMB-TV CBS 8 SAN DIEGO VIDEO: Like many kids, current Middlebury senior Emily Jones was fascinated by the Guinness Book of World Records as a child. "I thought it was cool and wanted to have a record," said Jones. While sifting through an extensive list of records months ago, Jones found a section of categories all having something to do with firefighting. As a volunteer firefighter at the Middlebury fire department, Jones felt she found the record she could tackle. "People thought I was crazy," said Jones. "Myself included." On Saturday, Jones crushed the Guinness world record for the fastest mile time by a woman in full firefighting gear by over two and a half minutes. The previous record of 11 minutes is no more, after Jones' 8 minutes and 25 seconds time. WPTZ-TV NBC 5 PLATTSBURGH VIDEO: Firefighters and high schoolers from around the state gathered Wednesday at the Missouri Capitol for Firefighters Day. This annual event honors both current and past firefighters while encouraging the future to fight on. Hundreds of firefighters filled the Capitol rotunda with joy. Even though the majority of the room was filled with official firefighters, the real stars were the students admiring their work. Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe kicked off the event with a speech recognizing the high school students in Missouri Career and Technology Centers already training to become first responders. Missouri State Fire Marshal Tim Bean has relentlessly pushed to promote high school first responder programs due to the decrease of employees in emergency services. KOMU-TV NBC/CW+ 8 COLUMBIA |
