| Colona Fire Chief takes home national award VIDEO: A local fire official is being praised on the national stage for his work to reduce cancer risks among his fellow firefighters. Colona Fire Chief John Swan was named the winner of the Chief James P. Seavey Sr. Health & Wellness Leadership Award by the National Volunteer Fire Council on Tuesday, March 12. In a press release announcing the award winners, the NVFC credited Swan for starting the "Go Green Clean" program at the Colona Fire Department. In that program, firefighters used green cattle tags to identify gear that was clean and safe for firefighters to use, preventing anyone responding to a fire from using gear that hadn't been decontaminated after being used in a previous incident. After the program was successfully implemented in Colona, Swan used his role as president of the Illinois Firefighters Association to bring Go Green Clean across the state.

| Man and woman killed in Pennsylvania house explosion VIDEOS: Two people were killed after a house exploded in Crescent Township, Allegheny County. Authorities say the blast was reported shortly before 9 a.m. Tuesday. Units from Crescent, Moon and Sewickley responded to the scene, as well as responders from Ambridge. Two people, 87-year-old Helen H. Mitchell and 89-year-old David L. Mitchell Jr., were killed in the blast in the 1400 block of Riverview Road, according to the county medical examiner. Both were found dead at the scene. "[It was a] very significant explosion," said Allegheny County Division Fire Chief Andrew Tomer. "You could feel it in your chest." "I froze and I ran outside because I thought it was something in the factory or a truck hit our building," said John Bundy with Premier Pan, whose building is near the explosion site. WTAE-TV ABC 4 PITTSBURGH New York City firefighter and cop ready for boxing rematch at International Battle of the Badges VIDEO/PHOTOS: Big Apple's Bravest and Finest are about to come to blows. FDNY firefighter Danny Quinn of Ladder 9 and NYPD Sgt. Jesse Peterford, of the 61st precinct, will slug it out Thursday when they face off in the boxing ring for a highly anticipated rematch during the Big Apple first-ever International Battle of the Badges. The pair's bout is one of more than a dozen matches between FDNY personnel and other firefighters and law enforcement from across the world. Quinn looks to retain his edge against Peterford after notching a win by decision during last year's charitable boxing match. Both public servants told The Post on Monday during a pre-match weigh-in that they have been training multiple days a week, watching what they eat and cutting out all the booze in hopes of tasting victory Thursday night. NEW YORK POST - METERED SITE Eastern Kentucky first responders grieving death of two colleagues on the same day First responders in Elliott County are mourning two of their own.

"It is with profound sadness that we inform you of the sudden and untimely passing of one of our EMTs, Drake Adams. Our hearts ache as we ask you to hold Drake's beloved wife Ruby, his children, and all those who cherished him in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time." The post goes on to say: "In addition, we extend our heartfelt sympathies to the 504 Fire Department for the loss of Firefighter Frank Whitt. Both Drake and Frank exemplified unwavering dedication to serving others, and their absence leaves a void that cannot be easily filled. To Drake, Frank, and all our fallen comrades: We will carry on in your honor. End of Watch: 3/12/2024." WOWK-TV CBS 13 HUNTINGTON PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
