| Herrin breaks ground on new fire station VIDEO: City leaders in Herrin broke ground Monday on a new fire station "It's a very exciting day," said Herrin fire chief Shawn Priddy. "The city was able to secure this property which will be big enough for us to operate out of. "And it technically puts us more centrally located within our jurisdiction and I think it's going to be a building that everybody can be proud of."It's going to assist us in doing our job better and we just hope that people love it as much as we do." The Current station was built in the 70s and, according to Priddy, has significant issues. "A study was done and it was determined that they cannot bring the building up to the essential facilities code requirements," Priddy explained. Not only that, but the cost would be more to bring the building up to code compared to simply replacing it with a new facility. WSIL-TV ABC 3 HARRISBURG Pekin house likely total loss after fire No one was injured in an early morning house fire near Parkway Lane and State Street in Pekin on Monday, but the house's resident will likely have to find a new place to live. That's because the fire, called in at 6:20 a.m., caused so much damage that the house will likely be deemed a total loss and possibly demolished, said Trent Reeise, Pekin's interim fire chief. Firefighters were called to the house and when they arrived, they found flames shooting through the roof, the chief said. That caused them to get into a "defensive posture" and used a ladder truck to dump water on the house from above. Once they were able to knock the fire down a bit, they quickly searched the one-story ranch house and found no one inside. Within 30 minutes, they were able to do a more thorough search and still found no one inside. WMBD-TV CBS 31 PEORIA PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| VIDEO: Virginia house explodes as police try to search home of someone firing flare gun A home exploded in Arlington, Virginia, on Monday night and rocked a neighborhood with a powerful blast after police say a suspect fired a flare gun into the neighborhood dozens of times. Stunning video shows a home exploding into flames and collapsing as debris flies more than two stories into the air. The blast occurred as police investigated someone shooting flares into a residential area near Ballston. Three police officers received minor injuries but were not taken to hospitals, the department said. Officials are unaware of anyone else who was hurt, they said at a news conference. Police received reports of a man firing a flare gun from a home in the 800 block of N. Burlington Street at about 4:45 p.m. The suspect fired the flare gun 30 to 40 times, Arlington police said. Officers tried to execute a search warrant shortly before 8:30 p.m. WRC-TV NBC 4 WASHINGTON, D.C. Arizona town measures progress of new electric fire truck after a month on the road VIDEO: Not only is it a first for Arizona, but the Gilbert Fire Department is among the first in the nation to get an electric fire truck. It's been in action for about a month at the city's busiest fire station. The goal is to see if it's safer and more efficient before potentially converting more of the fleet. Fire Chief Rob Duggan says they've already seen notable improvements. He says the electric truck moves faster out of the firehouse and restarting at stop lights than any of the other trucks. He says those are critical seconds that add up when you're waiting in an emergency. "It's about delivering four people within four minutes to anybody's door that needs you," said Chief Duggan. The truck is a virtual hybrid - so it can switch to diesel if the battery runs out, but it's designed to last two hours and can travel up to 90 miles per charge. KNXV-TV ABC/CW 15 PHOENIX First responders in Texas rescue truck driver trapped inside vehicle hanging off bridge VIDEO/PHOTO: Dallas County Sheriff's Office traffic deputies alongside other first responders have rescued the driver of a Sherwin Williams box truck who was trapped inside, hanging off the Stemmons Freeway overpass Monday afternoon. It happened at the interchange of North Stemmons Freeway and the Dallas North Tollway. The Urban Search and Rescue Team was called to help Dallas Fire-Rescue rescue the driver. After stabilizing the truck in its resting position, they used a couple aerial ladders in their efforts. One of the ladders was placed on the road below lifting the USAR technicians up to the cab of the truck. They fashioned a rope system at the tip of second ladder and positioned it above the cab of the truck. When rescue workers from the lower ladder reached the driver, they packaged him into a harness, hooked him up to the rope system at the tip of the second ladder and lifted him to safety. The driver was taken to a local hospital for evaluation. KTVT-TV CBS 11 FORT WORTH Completed Charleston 9 Memorial in South Carolina honors the fallen VIDEO/PHOTOS: Lives lost, but not forgotten. It's been over 16 years since nine firefighters with the Charleston Fire Department (CFD) lost their lives fighting a blaze at the Sofa Super Store in West Ashley. Out of that terrible scene, a finished memorial honors the fallen and serves as a reminder of that night. "There's a lot of symbiology in that fire station," Charleston Director of Parks and Capital Projects Jason Kronsberg said. "These sites are knitted together with pedestrian pathways and really telling that whole story." CFD Assistant Chief David Griffin was there the night of the fire. "It went so fast, it felt like when those 30 minutes passed, we were trying to figure out who we were missing," Griffin said. "It was very difficult for us to find out what do next. There are a lot of people that weighs heavy on." WCIV-TV ABC/MYNETWORKTV 4 CHARLESTON PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
