| Chicago police say at least 8 fires may be work of possible serial arsonist VIDEO: Chicago police sent out a community alert about eight fires, many of which targeted Halloween decorations, that they believe may be the work of a possible serial arsonist. Police sent out the alert about eight fires between October 4 and October 16, all in the 19th Police District which includes the neighborhoods of Lincoln Square and North Center. In each case, police said, the suspected arsonist set sidewalk autumn/Halloween displays and street corner garbage cans on fire. In the most recent three incidents, police said, he has set fires using decorations on front porches. The fire set early Monday morning on North Hoyne Street caused damage to the home but no injuries, police said. Craig Deering lives on Lincoln Avenue near one of the incidents. WLS-TV ABC 7 CHICAGO 20-foot python is euthanized after fire at Miller Park Zoo in Bloomington VIDEO: Bloomington city officials say they had to euthanize Miller Park Zoo's 20-foot python after she inhaled smoke during a fire Monday night. Fire crews were called out to the zoo at 1020 S. Morris Ave. around 9:28 p.m. Monday after a park security officer on patrol saw smoke rising from the Katthoefer Animal Building, said Fire Chief Eric West. The 108-year-old building houses tigers, primates and the 254-pound, 20-foot python, called Nani. West said the fire started in the python's enclosure. Initially, fire officials said all animals were alive and appeared well, pending a veterinary checkup. But after that checkup Tuesday, zoo officials determined they had to euthanize Nani, which before the fire had already been under veterinary observation "for recent changes in health and behavior," city officials said.

| VIDEO: More than 70 firefighters called to fight massive fire at Arizona warehouse Phoenix firefighters battled a massive third-alarm blaze in at a warehouse early Wednesday morning. Phoenix fire officials tell Arizona's Family that crews were called out to 13th Avenue and Roosevelt Street just after midnight. When firefighters arrived, they found massive flames and large plumes of smoke billowing from a warehouse in the area. Officials believe that warehouse is used as a liquidation distributor for drug and grocery products. Crews immediately upgraded the call to a first-alarm to ensure adequate resources to fight the blaze, but as firefighting efforts continued, crews ultimately had to call a third-alarm as more than 70 firefighters were forced to respond. Video from the scene showed authorities still working to put out hotspots as the fire was still smoldering more than 6 hours after the initial call. KTVK-TV CBS 3 & KPHO-TV CBS 5 PHOENIX (AZ FAMILY) Colorado Supreme Court ruled in favor of reverse-keyword search Denver Police used to track arson suspects VIDEOS/PHOTOS: In a 5 -2 decision, the Colorado Supreme Court on Monday ruled the controversial reverse Google keyword search warrant utilized by the Denver Police Department to track down suspects involved in a house fire that killed a Senegalese family of five in Denver's Green Valley Ranch neighborhood in 2020 could be admitted as evidence and remanded "the case to the trial court for further proceedings consistent with this opinion." It's a decision that could have broad implications in how investigators use digital technology to help crack cases beyond this case. The fire in the 5300 block of N. Truckee Street on August 5, 2020, which investigators suspected started as a result of arson, killed a toddler, child, and three adults. The family had immigrated to Colorado from Senegal. KMGH-TV ABC 7 DENVER Firefighters in Nevada will be responsible for racing week safety of F1 drivers, spectators VIDEO: While dirt and traffic headaches turn into extravagant Las Vegas Grand Prix (LVGP) grandstands and world-class racing structures, first responders are preparing for potential obstacles to reach thousands of spectators and hotel guests during three days of street closures. The track that's in place today – nearly four miles of public roads, including the Las Vegas Strip – once looked much different. That's according to Renee Wilm, CEO of the LVGP, who told 8 News Now in June that police originally raised red flags due to a lack of evacuation routes. "A lot of safety changes," Wilm said during a summer tour of the paddock building, referencing different county and law enforcement input that altered the original track layout. KLAS-TV CBS 8 LAS VEGAS North Dakota fire department's haunted house returns with chills and thrills If you take a wrong turn here this weekend, you could end up lost in a haunted corn maze, or worse - you could be chased by one of the creepy characters that lurk in the dark. The Belfield Volunteer Fire Department is putting on its yearly haunted house fundraiser on Main Street. "There's maybe one or two things that are the same, but everything else is completely different than it was last year," Ashley Gross, volunteer firefighter said. "We took it down last year and then we rebuilt it." She said people aged six to 80 volunteer to make the event a success. Gross has been volunteering for the project for more than a decade, she said. There are 25 to 35 people who come together every year to put on the event. Volunteer firefighter Kevin Anderson said that's one of the scariest parts of the project: "the fact that we found that many people that can pull off weird."
