| Mahomet warehouse destroyed in fire VIDEO: A warehouse in Mahomet was destroyed Saturday evening when a fire tore through it, waking neighbors up as a series of explosions rocked the area. Officials with the Cornbelt Fire Protection District said on Facebook that their firefighters were called around 11 p.m. to 600 Hickory Street for a report of a working fire. Crews arrived to find a massive fire burning inside the warehouse. Two vehicles parked nearby were also destroyed by the flames. Crews deployed multiple hand lines to extinguish the fire. It took about 30 minutes to bring the fire under control, but the warehouse was left in ruins. Firefighters remained on the scene throughout Sunday to put out hot spots. Neighbors were shocked to see such a scene in their small town.

'It's not something I've ever done': Seniors trapped by mudflow in California freed with help of earthmover PHOTOS: Fourteen seniors were pulled from a Cathedral City home care facility Monday in a dramatic rescue that the city's fire chief said was unlike anything he had ever done in his 34-year career. The 14 seniors were among the 46 people who were rescued in the city after a mudflow that developed late Sunday night trapped several people in cars, homes and even a train, necessitating several rescues and leaving several people living in homes that continue to be submerged in mud. The mudflow was one of many dangerous situations caused by Hilary's path through the Coachella Valley. Hilary had been downgraded to a tropical storm by the time it arrived in the Palm Springs area, but still dropped over 3 inches of rain across the valley, flooding low-lying desert roads and damaging some homes.

WFXT-TV FOX 25 BOSTON Utah first responder PSA: Young actors play role in getting kids to school safely VIDEO: As Utah students return to their classrooms, getting them to and from school safely is a priority. That means drivers paying attention through school zones and the constant need for more crossing guards. This year, the Unified Police and Unified Fire departments are getting creative to get the word out. They're employing a top secret weapon, a dynamic duo of actors who have a unique perspective on why it's so important to be smart and safe in school zones. This is the latest in a series of public service announcements put together by the UPD AND UFA.
