| Cornbelt Fire Protection District's new display to memorialize fallen firefighters Cornbelt Fire Protection District firefighters who have passed away will be memorialized as part of a new display at the firehouse in Mahomet. R Unique Creations recently finished the display, which features a bell that was given to the fire department in memory of firefighter Don Deem, who died in 1999 at age 53. The bell was mounted on the front of a firetruck and couldn't be remounted when the truck was refurbished, fire Chief John Koller said. Mr. Deem, who always had a cigar in his mouth, according to son-in-law and fellow firefighter Jimmy Zindars, was a longtime member of the department. "He was on the department for 18 years," said Mr. Deem's daughter, Kristy. "I was little when he joined. I was 23 when he passed away." She said the fire department was a big part of her father's life.

GRAYSLAKE PATCH VIDEO: Libertyville firefighter rescues dog from icy pond Firefighters in Libertyville rescued a dog that had fallen into an icy pond, and returned it to its owner. The Libertyville Fire Department said the dog had broken through the ice in the middle of a retention pond on Feb. 18. The owner had tried to help, but another witness convinced them it was unsafe. In the footage, filmed by onlooker Jerry Bellak, a firefighter wearing an exposure suit can be seen being pulled back to shore with the dog. "The poor, unfortunate dog fell through the ice and was fighting to stay afloat. The only thing we could do was to encourage the dog to swim towards safety, but it could not get back up on the ice. We felt completely helpless," Bellak said. Fortunately the fire department was called and jumped into action upon arrival. WGN-TV 9 CHICAGO PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| Flames engulf abandoned California warehouse VIDEOS: A fire Tuesday afternoon completely burned an abandoned warehouse to the ground. The Stockton Fire Department said the wind-driven fire was reported at 4:54 p.m. on Lindsay and Stockton streets. The fire went three-alarm, which means that a larger response of firefighters was required to extinguish the fire. No injuries were reported. While officials have not yet released the cause of the fire, video obtained by KCRA 3 shows the building engulfed in flames. KCRA-TV NBC 3 SACRAMENTO Related: Wind-driven fire destroys vacant warehouse at site of historic Stockton Colberg Boat Works New legislation in West Virginia could help retain volunteer firefighters with free vehicle registrations West Virginia is considering a new bill, House Bill 2191, to provide free motor vehicle registrations and license plates to volunteer firefighters with at least five years of service. The bill was introduced by Delegate Burkhammer on January 11, 2023, and has been referred to the Committee on Fire Departments and Emergency Medical Services and then Finance. The proposed legislation aims to recognize and appreciate the invaluable services that volunteer firefighters provide to the state. Volunteer firefighters often put their lives on the line to save others, and the least the state can do is make their lives easier. By exempting them from paying for vehicle registrations and license plates, the state could give back to the volunteers and help ease their financial burden. Additionally, the bill would encourage more people to join the firefighting services and help retain experienced volunteers by showing that their contributions are valued. ORIGINAL NEWSBREAK VIDEO: Maryland Fire Company's New Airboat To Make Rescue Response 3 Times Faster The Susquehanna Flats are unlike any other part of the Chesapeake Bay. Where the Susquehanna River meets the upper Bay, swaths of underwater grasses make for great fishing and waterfowl hunting opportunities. But water depths can change drastically very quickly, causing boaters and paddlers to get stranded. Traditional rescue vessels can't reach the victims, and things get risky for emergency crews. But the Susquehanna Hose Company's new airboat changes all that. It can skim over any depth of water. Cheryl Costello got on board the unique rescue vessel that will make the upper Bay safer.
