| 'A fireman's fireman': Legacy in stone, services set for Retired Herrin Fire Chief Lindell Coriasco A firefighter for more than half his life, Lindell Coriasco earned the name 'sparky' from his friends and colleagues over the years. "I don't know why that is," said Herrin Fire Chief Shawn Priddy, "That's what they called him." "It's not that he sparked fires right," the reporter asked. "No. He did the opposite," Priddy laughed. But Coriasco sparked a number of changes to the Herrin Fire Department in his 42 years of service. Coriasco died Friday in Memphis, Tennessee from injuries sustained in a car crash last month. Coriasco was 83-years old. Services are being held Saturday at Williamson County Fire Station #1 in Marion starting at 10 a.m. with a public visitation. The funeral is at 1pm.

| VIDEO: Massive fire engulfs former church building in Alabama neighborhood Fire crews in Birmingham are currently investigating the cause of a major fire of a church in Ensley. The incident took place at the intersection of Five Points West Avenue and Avenue S. No injuries have been reported. Local resident and Ensley Highlands neighborhood president, Antwon Womack, shed light on the history of the church, describing it as a community pillar in the past. However, he expressed concerns about the building's condition, fearing an incident like this would occur. The church, known as the Warriors of the Words Church, according to Womack, has remained vacant for at least a decade. Birmingham Fire and Rescue crews swiftly responded to the fire Monday afternoon, with flames and smoke billowing from the structure. WBRC-TV FOX 6 BIRMINGHAM Related YouTube Video: Crews respond to church fire in Birmingham's Ensley community Northeast Ohio fire department using jet skis for faster water rescues VIDEO: With kayaking back in season, one Northeast Ohio fire department is investing in their water rescues with two new jet skis. For Josh Scott, kayaking is a job and his passion. "We rent kayaks out of the Emerald Necklace here in the Cleveland metro parks," said Scott, manager and lead guide for 41 North Coastal Adventures. Scott spends his days teaching people how to paddle and not flip in their kayaks so they don't have to be saved by fire departments like Sheffield Lake. In Sheffield Lake, they've seen so many water rescues that they decided to invest their equipment dollars in buying two new jet skis. "We can get really close to victims without hurting them, like with a bigger boat, you need more manpower," said Lieutenant Brian Davis, Sheffield Lake Fire Department.

IDAHO MOUNTAIN EXPRESS - METERED SITE Firefighters more likely to die by suicide than on duty; Yoga helps recruits in Nevada handle stress The City of Las Vegas's Fire & Rescue is working toward addressing firefighter suicide rates and mental health.
