| Seminar in Bloomington teaches the latest on emergency rescues to firefighters First responders got a chance to refresh their knowledge of rescue skills across an array of categories this weekend. The Bloomington Fire Protection District hosted seminars Saturday and Sunday. It's the second year of an annual program meant to teach everyone, from firefighters to fire chiefs, what they need to know when it comes to rescue situations. Topics included water and ice rescues, emergency response, and more. With new equipment and techniques getting changed consistently, the instructors' aim was to make sure everyone was brought up to speed on the latest methods, so that they could handle any situation in a crunch. "It's been a real good event for the firefighters to not only get the classroom, but to get to see it, get hands-on, and find out what the (new) gear is," says instructor Robert Brooks with Brooks Fire Service and Consulting.

THE DISPATCH - THE ROCK ISLAND ARGUS Tea party highlights women leaders in Rockford community In an effort to wrap up Women's History Month, the NAACP Rockford branch hosts a networking tea party for women leaders in our community. The event featured special guest speakers, Rockford police chief Carla Redd, fire chief Michelle Pankow as well as other Rockford leaders. Organizers says the afternoon was a great way to bring together women leaders in the Rockford area. Everyone dressed up to enjoy tea, coffee and cupcakes. "Women have fought for a long time for our right to vote, for our right to be not just judged as a woman but someone's whose empowered, we're just as powerful as men and this is a way to put it up front and to let our community see that we're working to make a better community right here in Rockford," said Rhonda Greer Robinson, NAACP Rockford branch president.

| VIDEO: Massive fire tears through California property A massive fire broke out at a sprawling multi-million dollar property Saturday night in Bakersfield. Video shared with 17 News shows a fire ripping through the massive home in southwest Bakersfield on Buena Vista Road south of McCutcheon Road. City and county firefighters were called to the home at around 11 p.m. The cause of the fire or if anyone was hurt was not immediately known. Real estate site Redfin says the home is listed as having eight bedrooms, 11,400 square feet on 19 acres. It is valued anywhere from $1.6 million and $4 million on Zillow. KGET-TV NBC/CW+ BAKERSFIELD Slow and steady: Fire museum in Florida creeps down street toward new home VIDEO: The arrival of the USS Orleck was not the only big move happening in the city on Saturday. The Jacksonville Fire Museum is setting up shop in its new (old) home along Bay Street. The museum rolled down Bay Street with the help of a large dolly, joining the Shipyards for a coming "Museum District," serving as a neighbor to the newly arrived USS Orleck and the coming Museum of Science and History. As part of the move, Bay Street will be closed from A. Philip Randolph Boulevard to Liberty Street from 6 p.m. Friday through 6 a.m. Monday. The museum originally opened on the same part of Catherine Street near the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office headquarters in the late 1970s before moving to Kids Kampus in the early '90s.

The heads of two firefighter unions delivered a request of the mayor Saturday to sit down within a week's time to discuss the city's vaccine mandate. Presidents of the Firefighters Association and FDNY-Fire Officers Association placed an "emergency" call hoping Adams would reconsider his new order and expand the mandate lift to all city employees. Currently, somewhere between 400 and 500 firefighters remain unvaccinated and are at risk of losing their jobs with the city, Firefighters Association President Andrew Ansbro estimated. Each week, anywhere from 5 to 10 firefighters receive an ultimatum to get a COVID-19 vaccine or step down, he said. WNBC-TV NBC 4 NEW YORK Remember when, Arkansas? Jonesboro firefighters took up lawn mower racing in 2004 A historic event occurred March 27, 2004, at the Equine Center north of Arkansas State University at Jonesboro. Nine helmeted racers sporting gloves and foam neck braces roared at speeds topping 40 mph around a dusty, lumpy dirt track, on riding lawn mowers. It was the inaugural race of the Arkansas chapter of the U.S. Lawn Mower Racing Association. The Democrat-Gazette's Kenneth Heard wrote, "Pamplona, Spain, has the running of the bulls. Jonesboro has the running of the Toros and the Snappers and the Murrays and the Craftsmans." These riding lawn mowers had cutting decks but no blades. Jonesboro firefighter Brett Winstead said he spent $250 to put a larger carburetor and a steering wheel clutch on the Rally mower he named Sodbuster. "Last spring, this was mowing the grass," he said, adding, "I bought a push mower for the yard. You've got to make sacrifices." ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE - METERED SITE New Jersey fire company makes history after all female crew on shift A South Jersey fire company made history Saturday after every crew member on call for a shift was a woman. According to the volunteers at Union Fire Company, a branch of the Deptford Fire Department, having several females on call at once is normal. "It's for everybody. You don't need to be a male to do this field. Everyone's welcome," said Lt. Jennifer Smith, who has volunteered with the company since she was a teenager. There are 10 women in this one company, making up about a quarter of the staff. "It made it welcoming to be here because it was our family here, and it just grew from here that we're welcoming all the members that come in," she said. Several of the women became firefighters because it's what their dads did, and they wanted to be part of the family business. As they look ahead to the next generation, they hope that narrative flips and girls join because of their moms. WPVI-TV ABC 6 PHILADELPHIA PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
