| Multiple departments respond to Zeigler house fire Several fire departments were called to a house fire in Zeigler, Illinois on South Pine Street. Crews got there just before 10 a.m. Sunday. They say there was lots of smoke and the back of the house was on fire. No one was hurt. Nearby homes did sustain some damage. "This fire took a lot of resources, lot of water flow, we had several lines on the fire as well as master-stream devices, being able to reach out to our partners through mutual aid box alarm system, went to a box-alarm level, we got a lot of help," says Zeigler Fire Chief Ryan Buckingham. "So it's always great, especially in these temperatures and the amount of resources that are needed."

KRON-TV FOX 2 OAKLAND 2 Oklahoma firefighters injured after crash on highway VIDEO/PHOTOS: The Tulsa Fire Department says two firefighters suffered no life-threatening injuries after being hit by a car on Highway 75 Sunday night. In a social post, TFD said a vehicle approaching the scene of a crash near 1100 southbound on Highway 75 lost control and crashed into the original car the firefighters were working on. TFD said an OHP officer and the citizen in the original crashed car narrowly escaped, but the two firefighters were hit. The firefighters are being treated at a local hospital and were "banged up," but "Thankfully, both will be ok." KOTV-DT CBS 6 TULSA New helmet cameras give Iowa first responders a new look inside the fire fight VIDEO: The Fort Dodge Fire Department is using a new tool to fight fires. The department's new fire cameras are small, lightweight cameras that are mounted to their helmets. They capture footage that most people have never seen before, and that footage could help make firefighting safer in Fort Dodge. "To have that small, little device on that helmet, that the firefighter doesn't even know it's there, is quite a change," Chief Steve Hergenreter said. Hergenreter never dreamed of this type of technology when he began fighting fires 34 years ago. "Fires happen so fast. And you don't remember a lot of things, so the helmet camera really shows how things happened in the fire," Hergenreter said. "It's made specifically for firefighters," firefighter and paramedic Mychal Edler said. KCCI-TV CBS 8 DES MOINES Survivors, first responders remember deadly North Carolina explosion 20 years later VIDEO: Sunday marks the 20th anniversary of an explosion that changed Lenoir County forever. In 2003, a blast at a manufacturing facility killed six people and hurt 30 others. WITN talked with first responders and survivors as they look back at a day that will stay with them forever. "I didn't hear [anything]. Everything turned white, and that was it," said Jim Edwards, who was working the day of the explosion. January 29th, 2003 is not an easy day for him to remember. It's the day he lost his eyesight - the day six co-workers were killed and nearly 40 hurt in a massive explosion at West Pharmaceutical. Edwards remembers waving for rescuers to help him. We've caught up with him over the years to check on his progress. "I was burnt, 63 percent of my body. I hurt every day for about six months," he explained.
