Normal Fire Department to have paramedic-level care in all front line engines VIDEO: Paramedic-level emergency medical care is now available from not just ambulances, but from all front-line fire engines in the Town of Normal. The department announced Tuesday that it achieved its multi-year goal to upgrade all front-line engines when Engine 12 at Fire Station 2 went into service Monday morning. "As much as we would like them to be, ambulances and fire apparatus are not always in the perfect spot every time a call is received. Sometimes the closest ambulance may be coming from the other side of town or on their way back from the hospital," said Fire Chief Mick Humer. The upgrade means that paramedics on the engine can now begin life-saving interventions and relay patient information, in the event that an engine responds before an ambulance. WMBD-TV CBS 31 PEORIA Dozens line streets to pay tribute to DeKalb County Deputy Christina Musil VIDEO: It was an emotional Monday afternoon as community members paid their respects to 35-year-old DeKalb County Sheriff's Deputy Christina Musil. The single mother of three was killed in the line of duty when her squad car was hit from behind Thursday night in Waterman. "She was just like anybody else when you see you're out and about and seems very professional. She'd always wave and say hi," says Kirkland firefighter Jeremy Lee. A huge community presence showed their support as Musil's body was taken from the coroner's office to the funeral home. "It's very overwhelming when you're there. Brings a lot of emotions to yourself. Just seeing people from towns that you don't even know where they're even at,". Dozens of law enforcement units some from as far as 70 miles away joined the procession.

WSAZ-TV NBC 3 HUNTINGTON ‘Yes, There is Hope': Documentary featuring California firefighters focuses on mental health awareness "When I started we had a kind of a tradition that you sent the new guy in, or new girl in, to do all the dirty work, or all the unfavorable work, so to speak," Brian Thompson with the Sutter County Fire Department says in a scene from the new documentary "Yes, There is Hope" directed by Dean Tokuno of Yuba City. "You didn't get to talk about it back then and that's definitely had a toll on me. When you go home to your family and you're not supposed to talk about it, I think what we're trying to accomplish here is helping because we're getting it out there. There seems to be a huge push in mental health and taking care of people. I wish this was available to me when I started. I started when I was 20. I've seen a lot." Featuring several local voices, the film delves into the serious and pressing topic of mental health.
