| 436 families of fallen Chicago firefighters receive check for $460K VIDEO: It has been an undeniably difficult year for the Chicago Fire Department, losing four firefighters in the line of duty. On Monday, the department supported the families of those who died in service. They gave a check for $460,000 to 436 families of fallen firefighters.Jennifer Mayoski lost her husband, Jason, in 2012. "They've been there since day one with us," Mayoski said. "The CFD community is amazing. They are our second family." Their kids were there on Monday to accept the financial and educational assistance granted by the department's EMWQ Retirees, Widows and Children's Fund. "It means that they haven't forgotten about us. They haven't forgotten about any of the following firefighters or paramedics. And, this is actually coming from Chicago Fire Department, members and paramedics. They are the ones who are making these donations. So, that's huge," Mayoski said.

| VIDEO: Flames engulf California yacht club; 2 firefighters injured Two firefighters were injured while battling flames that engulfed a yacht club that has been a local landmark in Marina del Rey for decades. The fire was reported around 11:30 p.m. Monday at the California Yacht Club on Admiralty Way, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department. Fire crews arrived on scene to heavy fire and smoke billowing from the building, and it was quickly upgraded to a 2nd alarm fire before it was eventually extinguished. The injured male firefighters were taken to the hospital with moderate injuries, but additional details about their injuries were not known. The California Yacht Club started back in 1922. The former owner told Eyewitness News that his father helped build the Marina del Rey building over 50 years ago. KABC-TV ABC 7 LOS ANGELES Massachusetts fire captain has written a children's Christmas book promoting fire safety "Twas the night before Christmas in the firehouse, not an alarm bell ringing, not one fire to douse…" Thus begins "A Firehouse's Night Before Christmas," a modern-day, safety-oriented retelling of Clement Clarke Moore's "A Visit from St. Nicholas," by Northborough and Maynard firefighter Michael Parr. "It started while sitting around the firehouse around the holidays and I started thinking about 'Twas the Night Before Christmas,'" said Parr, 39, who lives in Northborough. "It was just kind of a fun-hearted, jokey thing, but I kept playing with it. I tried to adapt it as closely to the original poem as I could." Parr grew up surrounded by firefighters — his father, David Parr, was Wakefield's fire chief and his uncle was also a firefighter. Michael Parr started as a call firefighter in Wakefield before joining the Maynard Fire Department almost 10 years ago. METRO WEST DAILY NEWS - METERED SITE New York building collapse: 2 injuries reported as cleanup, investigation begins VIDEOS/PHOTOS: Firefighters scoured a mound of rubble to ensure no one was trapped Monday evening after a corner of a seven-story Bronx apartment building collapsed, leaving apartments exposed like a stack of shelves and a convenience store partly buried under bricks and wood. The collapse happened at 1915 Billingsley Terrace near West Burnside Avenue in the Morris Heights neighborhood around 3:30 p.m. Firefighters used buckets, power tools and heavy equipment to pick through the debris, while officials kept a watchful eye on the portions of the building that remained standing. "Our main objective is to get to the bottom of that pile," Fire Department Chief of Department John Hodgens said at a news conference. "We'll be here until it's down to the street level, just to make sure if there are any victims under there, hopefully we can get to them in time." WNYW-TV FOX 5 NEW YORK CITY Firefighters in one Colorado city now using wristband tool to better communicate with hospitals VIDEO: Colorado Springs firefighters are reflecting on how to better communicate with local hospitals after Club Q. 11 News spoke with the Colorado Springs Fire Department one year after Club Q, which has rolled out a tracking technology by Pulsara. Firefighters put wristbands on patients, connecting to an app, which gives real-time information to hospitals so medical staff can prepare. This is especially important for mass casualty events like Club Q. "One learning point that we garnered from Club Q was that we didn't make good communication with the hospital. We could have done a better job at that. They should be able to prepare and estimate how many patients they have, the severity, and this new application with the arm bands is going to help us do that," said CSFD company officer and Lt. Jeremiah Heddings. KKTV CBS 11 COLORADO SPRINGS PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
