| East Peoria fire department to add 4th station near Illinois Central College In the hope of reducing response time, the East Peoria Fire Department plans to add a fourth fire station. The new station will be at 2001 Centennial Drive, near the entrance to Illinois Central College. "In our line of work, seconds really do matter," East Peoria Fire Chief Robert Zimmerman said. "The new station will cut those seconds down on calls from that area. Our call volume has increased. Based on where the calls come from and the response time to that area, we thought that's where the station would need to be located." Zimmerman added that the cost of the project is still to be determined. However, the city has received a total of $1.9 million in grants from the state. He expects the city to seek bids for the contract later this summer and hopes construction will begin this fall. PEKIN DAILY TIMES Addison Fire District ambulance is heading to Ukrainian front lines -- with special messages The toughest days for a 15-year-old Addison Fire Protection District ambulance may actually be ahead of it. If all goes as planned early next month, the vehicle will be headed to Ukraine to help medical workers there care for those wounded in Russia's ongoing invasion. "It's served us well, and I hope it continues to do the same in Ukraine," said Scott Walker, the fire district's chief. The district's three-member board is expected to retire the ambulance at its Aug. 3 meeting and donate it to the Ukrainian Medical Association of North America, which will then ship it to Ukraine along with several other donated ambulances. However, before it's shipped, the ambulance will be on display at the village's Rock 'n Wheels car show Aug. 4, when visitors can write greetings and well wishes on it to those who will receive the vehicle in Ukraine.

| Video shows fiery crash; Lamborghini goes airborne in Florida A Lamborghini burst into flames after running past a stop sign, crashing into a vehicle, and going airborne to collide with a home's roof and wall. Clarence Middleton said he was in his backyard when he saw "a big truck" flying towards him with "a bunch of debris and dirt flying right behind it." Middleton ran towards the mangled Lamborghini to help the driver. "I pulled him out and laid him on the ground," Middleton said. "They got up; they left. And then the truck caught on fire." Mohammad Iqbal was inside the other car, the one that was hit by the Lamborghini. "I was driving, I had no stop (sign) for me," he said. "My car, it flipped all the way like a circle." Iqbal told Local 10 News' Bridgette Matter that neighbors pulled him out of his car that that his injuries are minor. He said it could have been much worse. WPLG-TV ABC 10 MIAMI Maryland Firefighters Build Skills for Firefighting at Sea PHOTOS: "Every Sailor a Damage Controlman," goes the adage for seagoing personnel, referring to every Sailor's responsibility in responding to emergencies aboard the ship. Firefighters at NAS Patuxent River took that to heart when they completed shipboard firefighting training July 13-16, despite being a station on a shore-based air installation. "After hearing of the events taking place in San Diego with the USS Bonhomme Richard, Patuxent River Fire and Emergency Services wanted to ensure our personnel is at a state of readiness if an incident similar to that event ever took place on our facility," said Fire Capt. James Barnes, Naval District Washington Fire Department – NAS Patuxent River. "Our firefighters pride themselves at always staying at a high state of readiness and will do what it takes to ensure we continue to be ready for any emergency that may take place at Patuxent River, Webster Field, or to our surrounding mutual aid partners." THE SOUTHERN MARYLAND CHRONICLE Township in Michigan dedicates new firehouse VIDEO: Alpine Township firefighters have "officially" moved into their new home. While they've been operating out of the new Station One since May, the facility was dedicated on Friday. Located on Henze Drive, behind the Alpine Avenue Sam's Club, the $3 million firehouse replaces cramped quarters and gives the department room to grow. The station features many firehouse traditions, like the large kitchen table. The table is custom-made by Ridgeline Woodcraft in Alpine and features the department's new logo. "Anyone who understands fire and fire history knows that a lot happens around the dinner table," Deputy Fire Chief Jeremy Kelly said. There are also several modern amenities such as separate rooms that have replaced barrack-style sleeping areas for firefighters.
