According to a press release from Peoria County Sheriff Chris Watkins, deputies arrived to Route 116 and Quarry Road after a call at 7:19 a.m. reported a school bus accident. Both the Farmington School bus and a box truck were traveling westbound on 116 when the box truck struck the rear of the school bus, which was pushed into a residence. Logan-Trivoli Fire Chief David Tuttle said in a press release that the box truck did not see the bus slowing to turn. When the bus was hit, said Tuttle, it went through a ravine and hit a house on the corner of Quarry Road and Farmington Road. Both vehicles and the house sustained significant damage. The bus had 11 children on board, six of whom were transported to local hospitals with minor injuries.

WLS-TV ABC 7 CHICAGO 80-year volunteer firefighter from New York celebrates 100th birthday VIDEO/PHOTOS: A Rockland man believed to be the longest serving firefighter in New York State celebrated his 100th birthday on Sunday. Things were a lot different 80 years ago when Amiel D'Auria first volunteered for the Chelsea Hook and Ladder Company in Nyack. "We had to be right up in front of everything," said D'Auria. "In those days, when you went up the ladder you couldn't talk to the driver or anything. If you had any trouble you used to have to swing back and forth." Remarkably, the great-grandfather is still very active in the fire department. "I love to get on and help the guys all the time. When I was 90 years old I would still go to a fire." Company members say D'Auria is now the longest serving volunteer firefighter in New York State and on Sunday, they celebrated their honorary battalion chief for his 100th birthday. NEWS 12 THE BRONX His friend took his life, now this Virginia firefighter hopes to build a safe place for first responders VIDEO: The fire that lit inside a Chesterfield Firefighter two years ago launched a mission to tackle the stigma surrounding mental health among first responders who accomplish some of the most stressful and emotional work of any profession on a daily basis. Back in 2020, a close friend of Lt. Kenny Mitchell, who was also a firefighter, took his own life. While attending a memorial gathering for his friend, Mitchell jotted down a refrain he heard from so many first responders that day. "This [expletive] keeps happening because there's nobody to talk to, there's nobody to talk to, there's nobody to talk to. I look out here and I think, there's everybody to talk to!" Mitchell said to a crowd of people at the Independence Golf Club Sunday afternoon. "Operating inside the yellow tape is difficult, outside of the yellow tape is where we have most of our problems." WTVR-TV CBS 6 RICHMOND At overdose events in one Rhode Island city, arrests by police and combative behavior are rare, study finds While police officers are often dispatched alongside other first responders when drug overdoses are reported, an analysis of hundreds of overdose events in one Rhode Island city found that there were scant incidents that actually needed involvement from law enforcement. "It was surprising and promising to find that arrests only occurred in about 1% of all cases of overdoses attended by police," said Alexandria Macmadu, study co-author and a postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Epidemiology at Brown University's School of Public Health. "The research shows that there were few situations that truly required law enforcement presence due to safety concerns." The first responders who are dispatched to an overdose incident often include police, fire rescue personnel and emergency medical services, Macmadu said. NEWS FROM BROWN PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
