 VIDEO: Six area fire departments put out a large fire at a recycling center in Urbana, Tuesday. It burnt down a building and a semi-truck. It happened on the 2800 block of N. Lincoln Avenue, at Mack's Twin City Recycling center in Urbana. The co-owner, Corey Mathis, says he was at his son's baseball game, when his brother called to let him know one of their buildings was on fire. "I obviously didn't know how big it was until I got here," said Mathis. It's not the first time they have had a fire there. "It's frustrating just because we've had this situation before and we know how much work is involved in the whole fire and getting things rebuilt," said Mathis. It's not the first time they have had a fire there. "It's frustrating just because we've had this situation before and we know how much work is involved in the whole fire and getting things rebuilt," said Mathis. WCIA-TV CBS 3 CHAMPAIGN The room was packed Tuesday afternoon in the Peoria Heights Village Hall for a historic public safety decision. During the special meeting, the village went back and forth on whether to outsource the 106-year-old volunteer fire department to the City of Peoria. The concerns and frustrations were visible on the faces of the firefighters, EMTs and residents in attendance. The board of trustees weighed all options, with representatives of both Peoria Heights and Peoria fire departments on hand to answer questions. Peoria Fire Chief Shawn Sollberger made it clear that the Peoria Heights administration approached City Manager Patrick Urich on if a change would help. He added Peoria Fire could get to 93% of calls in Peoria Heights within four minutes. "It's not a shocker or a surprise to see that volunteerism is suffering," said Chief Sollberger.

 VIDEOS: New 911 calls are painting a dire picture in the moments leading up to the massive fire in SouthPark last month. It happened at a construction site not far from Charlotte's SouthPark Mall. Two construction workers died in the fire. That massive blaze was considered a five-alarm fire, meaning hundreds of firefighters were called to the scene. This is a portion of the transcript of one of the first calls made to 911: Dispatch: "Charlotte 911. Do you need police, fire or MEDIC?" Caller: "We have a fire! We have a fire!" Dispatch: "What's going on there?" Caller: "We have a trailer on fire! Inside the parking deck!" Dispatch: "Okay, so it's the trailer for like the back of a truck?" Caller: "Yes sir. It's a trailer that has some equipment on it. We sprayed fire extinguishers, but it continues to burn sir! We're evacuating the building!" WBTV CBS 3 CHARLOTTE Roswell Fire Department (RFD) wants 12 new hires this July so they can build their staff back up to capacity. For what may be the first time ever, the RFD is hosting open tryouts on July 8 from 7-11 a.m. at the Louis Jones Training Center. The RFD is doing open tryouts in an attempt to take the anxiety out of the testing process and is hoping to diversify the force. "There's female firefighters all over the country. We just haven't had one in Roswell yet," said Fire Chief Matt Miller. While aiming for the first female firefighter, everyone is welcome. Normally the RFD recruits new firefighters from local high schools and colleges, but with social media, they've been getting new firefighters from all over the country. The RFD is hoping to extend their hiring pool and get in more Roswell locals to try out. ROSWELL DAILY RECORD - METERED SITE After being closed to traffic for 12 days, the damaged section of Interstate 95 through Philadelphia reopened Friday. A tanker truck fire beneath the interstate on June 11 caused one bridge to collapse and left another heavily damaged. Federal, state, and local entities combined to push for reopening the stretch of the interstate as quickly as possible by backfilling the area which had collapsed. New bridges are to be built at a later date, according to state authorities. "Over the past 12 days, the eyes of the nation have been on Pennsylvania. We showed them what our grit and our determination are all about," said Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro prior to opening the roadway. "We showed them good government in action, and this is what we can do when all levels of government come together to get the job done." HDT TRUCKINGINFO PHOTOS: A longtime captain with the Nashville Fire Department is going above and beyond the call of duty. Captain Tony Murrell has dedicated 19 years to serving the Nashville community, but his mission goes further than that. In 2020, Murrell donated his kidney to his sister after watching her endure nightly dialysis treatments for two long years. It was a decision that changed his life and opened his eyes to those experiencing kidney failure. Now, Captain Murrell is training to run the Chicago Marathon in the fall. "I am thrilled to be running the Chicago Marathon and taking part in these fundraisers to support the National Kidney Foundation of Illinois," Murrell said. WZTV FOX 17 NASHVILLE |
