| Central Illinois YMCAs announce return of annual 9/11 stair climb A pair of YMCAs in central Illinois announced on Tuesday that they will once again host an annual tradition that honors the people who died on September 11, 2001. That tradition is the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb. People who take part in this tradition climb the equivalent of 110 flights of stairs, the same number of flights first responders climbed in the World Trade Center's Twin Towers on 9/11, around the anniversary of the attacks. This year's climb will take place at the Mattoon Area Family YMCA and the Neal Center YMCA in Tolono will be hosting the event between Sept. 9 and 12. "This event is incredibly powerful for our participants, members and staff every year," said Emily Hayden, Senior Wellness Director. "We're honored to have the opportunity to recognize the brave men and women who sacrificed so much on 9/11."

| VIDEO: Two Escape Burning Wreckage of Plane That Crashed on Freeway in California Two people escaped the burning wreckage of a small plane that crash-landed Tuesday afternoon on the 91 Freeway in Riverside County. The single-engine Piper PA-32 flying to Corona Municipal Airport went down at about midday on the eastbound 91 Freeway in Corona and might have struck at least one vehicle, according to the Corona Fire Department. Firefighters quickly extinguished the fire that erupted after the plane crash about 50 miles southeast of Los Angeles. Two occupants of the single-engine airplane escaped uninjured, City News Service reported, citing the Corona Fire Department. There were no reports of injuries to people on the ground. A pickup at the scene of the crash appeared to have sustained damage to a tail-light.

Paramedic Sara Kinsy Weaver, 32, of Florence, and Cedric Antonio Gregg, 37, also of Florence, died after a vehicle crossed the median at a high rate of speed and hit several first responders who were working at the scene of the initial crash, Coroner Keith von Lutcken said. At least four people, including two law-enforcement officers, were among those who were hit by a car that drove into the crash scene, according to Florence County Emergency Medical Services, which posted about the incident on Facebook.

WSPA-TV CBS 7 SPARTANBURG A Good Age: Massachusetts Fire Chief retires to ride across America on motorcycle On Tuesday, Aug. 16, Nord will head out on his KTM 890 Adventure R, an on and off-road motorcycle, for a trek across the country – down to Tennessee and North Carolina, then west to Oregon and back. He will follow the TransAmerica Trail, described as "the cross-country adventure ride of a lifetime with mostly off-pavement travel." Reaching Oregon will take about four weeks. Coming home, he'll travel by highways in a week. "I figure I have maybe 10 good years of riding left and now is go time," Nord said. "I want to get out and try some new things while I still can, and adventure riding is one of them." He said he has watched others retire and then have health problems cut short their dreams. When he returns, he plans to teach fire instruction and health and safety training courses in the region and the state. THE PATRIOT LEDGER - METERED SITE Taylor Mill memorial to tell story of volunteer fire departments in Kentucky PHOTOS: The entrance to Pride Park in Taylor Mill will soon be the home to a special monument honoring Firefighters from three different volunteer departments no longer in existence: Forest Hills, Winston Park and Taylor Mill. Most of the monument is ready. The last thing to go in will be the statue. "At one time, the fire departments were all volunteer, and gradually paid members were added," said Rita Hasler, who is the secretary for the Taylor Mill Volunteer Firefighter Association. "The Taylor Mill Volunteer Firefighter Association was formed to include members of Forest Hills, Winston Park, and Taylor Mill volunteer fire departments. Of course, now we have one fire department, and it is all paid." The yet-unfinished memorial, which Nancy Holian of Erlanger is creating, will have a background of a brick wall, with a special granite memorial for each department of volunteers. Surrounding the memorial will be brick pavers that can be purchased and engraved for a loved one or a group. LINK NKY PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
