| Firefighter hospitalized after house fire in Elgin A house fire in Elgin left one firefighter hospitalized and a home heavily damaged. Firefighters were called to the 200 block of Hamilton Ave. just before 9:30 a.m. Thursday for the reported fire. When they arrived, smoke was seen coming from the attic. Crews attacked the fire from the inside and found flames coming from the attic, first floor and the basement. Fire crews were able to get the flames contained in about 20 minutes, officials say. One firefighter was taken to the hospital with a minor injury after the response, but no other injuries were reported. No one was inside at the time of the fire. Damages from the fire are estimated at over $175,000, officials say. The cause is still under investigation. WFLD-TV FOX 32 CHICAGO Decatur officials investigating ‘suspicious' house fire The Decatur Fire Department responded to a house fire early Thursday morning that officials are calling suspicious. Officials said a neighbor reported the fire in the area of North Lowber and East Olive Streets at 6:40 a.m. They told arriving firefighters that no one was currently living in the house. Upon arrival near 6:45 a.m., firefighters found heavy smoke coming from the roof of the home. They began hosing down the flames and forced their way into the house to double-check that the house was vacant. Crews confirmed that no people were found inside. The fire was brought under control in less than 20 minutes. It is believed to have started in the living room. Interior crews found holes in the floors and several fires. The cause of the fire was deemed suspicious, Battalion Chief Neil Elder said. WCIA-TV CBS 3 CHAMPAIGN PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| VIDEO: Fire breaks out at multi-family home in Rhode Island Six families are displaced after a heavy fire broke out at an apartment building in Warren. Firefighters rushing to Arlington Avenue around 2 a.m. Friday found heavy smoke and flames shooting from the top floor. Bristol, Warren and Providence firefighters are on scene and still working to put out hot spots. "We had fire on the first floor, right through the walls up to the third floor and the attic so it was an extensive fire attack," Fire Chief James Sousa said. Arlington Avenue is down to one lane, causing traffic backups in the area. The Red Cross is also on scene assisting the displaced residents. One firefighter was taken to the hospital to be evaluated. No word on a cause at this time. WPRI-TV CBS 12 PROVIDENCE Gamewell fire boxes protected one Pennsylvania city since the Statue of Liberty; now they are history PHOTOS: A sentinel of safety on York's streets since 1884, the city's Gamewell fire alarm system is shutting down. It's hard to imagine a 140-year-old communication system still in operation in an age where AI is taking over physical buttons via voice and short-lived, disposable appliances are the norm. In the year the Gamewell system started watching over York, the cornerstone of the Statue of Liberty was laid and the Washington Monument was dedicated. Gamewell was responding to York fires less than 20 years after the American Civil War ended. The system has stood on city streets waiting to take the call through two world wars and an evolution of transportation systems from horses, electric trolleys to modern-day battery-electric vehicles. YORK DAILY RECORD - METERED SITE 4 Texas firefighters injured in roof collapse, highlighting concerns about the way new homes are built VIDEO: On Monday evening, Austin firefighters responded to a fire burning from a two-story home on Camperdown Elm Drive in South Austin. While firefighters were battling the flames, the roof of the home collapsed on four of them. "Luckily, our firefighters were able to get themselves out of this instance but that's not always the case, unfortunately, across America," said Rachael Lewis, the Austin Fire Department Operations PIO. Lewis could not share details of the firefighters' injuries but said they have been treated and released. They have not yet returned to work. Lewis says she has noticed some other roof collapses happen due to homes and buildings getting built faster with more lightweight construction materials. KVUE-TV ABC 24 AUSTIN South Carolina firefighter opens up about cancer battle as part of Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month A Horry County Fire Rescue firefighter is opening up about his cancer battle as part of Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month. It's aimed at helping departments educate on ways to prevent cancer and what can be done if you are diagnosed. The American Cancer Society said cancer is the leading cause of line-of-duty deaths among firefighters. Michael Myers has been a firefighter and paramedic for 10 years with Horry County Fire Rescue. At 24 years old, he was diagnosed with testicular cancer. He was one year into the job and said he never saw it coming. "Making somebody's worst day of their lives just a little better or making them feel OK in the end is worth it," Myers said. "I'll continue doing it till my body can't do it anymore."
