Three construction workers injured in Machesney Park building collapse VIDEOS/PHOTOS: A newly under-construction addition to Hennig Inc. collapsed Monday, injuring 3 crane operators. The new building completely collapsed, injuring three men who were operating three Hi Lift cranes. According to Harlem Roscoe Fire Protection District Chief John Bergeron, the entire structure collapsed and fell on them. Two victims were taken to a Rockford hospital. One victim refused treatment at the scene, Bergeron said. The conditions of the two hospitalized men are unknown, Bergeron added. He did not say if Monday's high winds were a factor in the collapse. Hennig, at 9904 N. Alpine Road, originally began in 1966 as Advance Machine and Engineering and is headquartered in Machesney Park. The Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) will handle the investigation into the collapse, Bergeron said. WTVO-TV ABC 17 ROCKFORD Retired Little Rock-Fox Fire Chief Greg Witek honored at retirement open house PHOTOS: The Little Rock-Fox Fire Protection District hosted a retirement open house at Fire Station One in Plano Saturday. Now retired Chief Greg Witek joined the department as a volunteer 24 years ago and became the chief seven years later. During that time, ambulance services continued to offer more advanced care. The biggest change he oversaw came rather recently. He feels things are in great hands with new Chief Fred Kreinbrink, who says Witek built up a solid operation. Kreinbrink says his biggest challenge will be managing the finances. Witek says everyone's wired some way, and whatever flips their switch on and makes them go is what they should pursue. For him it was fire fighting and rescue work. Now it's spending time with his six grandchildren. WSPY-FM 107.1 PLANO PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

Home Depot paying $1.3M for fire code violations in 2022 arson that destroyed California store PHOTO: Home Depot is paying $1.3 million in fines after an investigation revealed fire code violations following an arson that burned a South San Jose store to the ground, prosecutors said. Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen's office announced the fine against the hardware giant Monday, which followed an investigation by the DA's office and the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives into the 2022 fire that destroyed the store on Blossom Hill Road. "Fire code violations are potential tragedies in waiting. Ignoring them isn't just risky; it's reckless. It risks far more than property. It risks lives," Rosen said in a statement. On April 9, 2022, a man trying to steal tools set a fire in the store. The fire quickly spread, destroying the 98,827 square foot store, causing an estimated $17 million in inventory loss. KPIX-TV CBS 5 SAN FRANCISCO Double-parked cars increasingly impede DC Fire and EMS responses, officials say VIDEO: D.C. fire officials say drivers are double-parking near firehouses, leading to delays that could have life-or-death consequences. Firefighters at 414 8th St. SE more frequently see ride-share and delivery drivers parked in the marked area, often leaving vehicles unattended. Saturday, when firefighters there were rushing to a call for a crash on Interstate 295, they were blocked by a double-parked car. "They were blasting their airhorn and their siren," said Vito Maggiolo of D.C. Fire and EMS. "Nobody came to the vehicle initially. When the driver did come out, he was very nonchalant about it. No sense of urgency." The firefighters were supposed to be blocking the road to prevent other vehicles from entering the scene where other firefighters were trying to help the injured, Maggiolo said. WRC-TV NBC 4 WASHINGTON, D.C. Fire department in Ohio urging awareness after firefighter dies from suicide VIDEO: An American flag flew gently in the breeze at half-staff Monday outside of Fire Station #1 in Canton. Inside, the gear of Jared Kneale, including his helmet, gloves and boots, were displayed by a fire truck as a tribute to a man who was loved by so many. "Words can't express the loss. Jared was a great guy. He's the guy that everybody ran to. He was the guy who lit up the room," said Division Chief Steven Henderson. On a touching Canton Fire Facebook post, Kneale was also remembered as the "head chef" at the station who had an infectious laugh and always looked to help others. Firefighters were devastated to learn that Kneale, a 42-year-old married father of six children, died from suicide last Friday. With permission from Kneale's family, firefighters shared part of the story to create awareness, and because they believe something positive must come out of the death.
