WICS-TV ABC 20 SPRINGFIELD Update: Shorewood Police Lift Shelter in Place After Large Fire at Farm Supply Store Produces Toxic Fumes Authorities in Shorewood Tuesday lifted a "Shelter in Place" order issued earlier that morning as more than 10 agencies responded to a large fire that broke out at a fertilizer and landscaping supply store in Shorewood in Will County, about 45 miles southwest of Chicago. Police say the shelter in place instructions, specifically for those who live and work within a 2 mile radius of the semi-rural area, were a result of toxic fumes from burning fertilizer inside the structure. According to authorities, calls for smoke and flames at the giant Tri County Stockdale farm supply store came in around 4:30 a.m. Tuesday. About four hours later, Troy Fire Protection Chief Andy Doyle said during a press conference that the fire destruction has deemed the structure a "total loss." WMAQ-TV NBC 5 CHICAGO ‘I am forever grateful': Lake Villa woman thanks firefighters, paramedics who helped deliver her baby A Lake Villa woman said she is "forever grateful" for the Lake Villa firefighters and paramedics who helped her deliver her baby earlier this month.

Hours after the Highland Park shooting — on the opposite side of Lake County — Purtell was celebrating the Fourth of July with neighbors who were lighting off their annual fireworks in Lake Villa. Purtell said her water broke and she went into active labor. "It being my 3rd child, things progressed quickly so we called 911," she said. The Lake Villa Fire Protection District responded to the call at Purtell's home. LAKE & MCHENRY COUNTY SCANNER Fire department battles fire at Peoria businesses A spark from a welder caused Peoria firefighters to battle a Tuesday afternoon fire at GRM Industries and Natural Fiber Welding in Peoria. The fire broke out just after 1 PM Tuesday. When firefighters arrived, they found smoke coming the building, with crews quickly putting it out. Everyone was outside when firefighters arrived, and no one was injured. It took firefighters over an hour to ventilate the building of smoke, due to the large size of a building. Damage is estimated at $20,000. WHOI-TV ABC 19 PEORIA PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| 9 Massachusetts firefighters suffer heat-related injuries battling 5-alarm blaze VIDEO: Boston firefighters battled a five-alarm fire inside multiple East Boston triple-decker homes Tuesday evening. First responders rushed to the scene in the 300 block of Princeton Street amid temperatures in the low 90s. Video from Sky 5 showed smoke and flames pouring from what appeared to be a staircase leading to the roof of the home. Paul Burke, the Boston fire commissioner said at least nine firefighters were injured battling the fire, primarily due to the heat. "The heat has been a problem today," Burke said. "We've had to circulate firefighters in and out because the heat is so bad." "There was heavy fire in the rear when they arrived and they had a hard time getting access to it," Burke said. Approximately a dozen firefighters could be seen standing on the roof, working to knock down the smoke and flames.

KXTV ABC 10 SACRAMENTO South Florida firefighters to lend mental health support to teams working in war-torn Ukraine VIDEO: As soldiers risk their lives on the front lines, crews of first responders are busy clearing out and re-building the areas that have been destroyed. Those crews, some of which are from other countries like America and Australia, aren't only clearing debris. They're also finding bodies. As a result, they're suffering from deep emotional stress. That's why a group of South Florida firefighters are headed to Poland to lend mental health support to the teams who need it most. "When you have a group of what we consider our brothers and sisters, wherever they are in the world, going above and beyond for something like this, the unthinkable, you want to be there for them," said Miami-Dade firefighter Lucianna Genova, who is among the first responders heading to help those on the front Ukrainian.

Captain Ted Presgraves with the Tennessee City Volunteer Fire Department suffered a leg injury after officials say a U-Haul driver plowed into their tanker near mile marker 155. "It doesn't take much for somebody to be in a life or death situation that's out there risking their lives," explained firefighter Luke Williams with the Tennessee City Volunteer Fire Department. That was the case around 9:30 a.m. Monday as Williams said around a dozen personnel from multiple agencies worked a tanker truck fire — many volunteers. "We don't want to die while we are out on the interstate trying to work an accident," stated Williams. Captain Presgraves was working the pump panel when Williams said the driver of a U-Haul van — later identified as 78-year-old Samuel Farmer — came full speed through the closed lane.
