| 39 People Displaced, 3 Homes Charred in Massive New Jersey Blaze VIDEO: The American Red Cross is assisting 11 families after a devastating overnight inferno left nearly 40 Newark residents without a place to sleep. Firefighters rushed to Clifton Avenue around 2 a.m. Saturday for a fire that appeared to start in an abandoned building on the block. Eventually the flames spread to two neighboring homes and required a 3-alarm response from fire crews, who were still putting water on the structures well after the sun came up. Officials estimated 39 people were displaced by the fire, 11 of which were children. There were no immediate reports of any injuries. Neighbors said the fire appeared to start in a home abandoned for several years -- a home they said should have been on the city's radar following countless complaints. WNBC-TV NBC 4 NEW YORK Pennsylvania 9/11 first responder needs your help to get a new heart You may not know the name Terry Shaffer, but we'll always remember what he and his crew did when Flight 93 crashed on Sept. 11, 2001. Terry, now 66 years old, was the Shanksville Fire Chief on that fateful day in American history. Along with the Shanksville Volunteer Fire Department, Terry was one of the first responders at the scene after Flight 93's impact. He was also involved with forming the memorial. He was recognized for his leadership as fire chief and is now turning to his community for help. Friends and family of the former fire chief are launching a public fundraising campaign: Heart4Terry. The campaign hopes to help Terry to undergo a heart transplant as soon as possible. He was listed for a transplant in November at UPMC Presbyterian due to advanced heart failure. WHTM-TV ABC 27 HARRISBURG Kentucky firefighters could appear in upcoming feature film Some Kentucky firefighters showed off their acting chops this summer during the filming of a movie in Louisville. The Zoneton Fire Protection District posted on Facebook saying they were "sworn to secrecy" until now and that many of their firefighters will likely appear in the upcoming film, "The Muzzle," as background actors. The firefighters extinguished a vehicle fire several times as a part of the film. According to the post, the film is about "an LAPD K-9 officer, Jake Rosser, who has just witnessed the shocking murder of his dedicated partner by a mysterious assailant. As he investigates the shooter's identity, he uncovers a vast conspiracy that has a chokehold on the city." The film stars "The Dark Knight" actor Aaron Eckhart as the Los Angeles K-9 police officer who unravels a conspiracy in LA. Bullitt County Emergency Medical Services also took part in the thriller, according to Zoneton Fire, providing ambulances for the scene. WHAS-TV ABC 11 LOUISVILLE Sensory kits helping Nebraska first responders interact with people diagnosed with autism VIDEO: Autism Action Partnership (AAP) has made efforts to give law enforcement agencies all the resources they need to interact the right way with people diagnosed with autism. From things like a stress ball to sensory toys, the sensory kits are designed to be a tool in first responders' vehicles. The items in them can help reduce stimulus sensory response of those with autism. "We also have headphones in there so if the noise of the event that is happening or whatever is happening is too much, they can give them headphones, we have sunglasses, we also have laminated communication cards that has pictures of different scenarios, there's a clock, the alphabet," said AAP Education & Outreach Manager, Wendy Andersen. If the individuals are non-verbal, or if they are not speaking due to the event that's happening, they can communicate through some of the items on the kit. KHGI-TV ABC 13 KEARNEY NASCAR driver salutes fallen South Carolina officer, firefighter PHOTO: NASCAR driver Kyle Weatherman honored a fallen Cayce police officer and Monetta volunteer firefighter. At Saturday's Xfinity Series race, his car, number 34, was dedicated to Drew Barr. The race car displayed Barr's name written right above the window. Barr lost his life April 24 while working as a Cayce police officer. After he responded to a domestic disturbance call, a suspect fired a gun, killing him. Officers say the suspect took his own life after a seven-hour standoff. Barr had also been a firefighter in Monetta since he was 15. Barr was not married and did not have any kids, but he left behind his mother, father and older sister. Many who knew Barr in Aiken County say he was married to his career of helping and serving others. WRDW-TV CBS 12 AUGUSTA PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
