WLS-TV ABC 7 CHICAGO Boone County firefighters warn drivers after 9 serious crashes in 5 days A handful of accidents in Boone County has prompted officials to warn drivers. First responders have gone to nine crashes that sent people to the hospital in less than a week. One emergency responder said that a car is a lethal weapon, one one false move can mean life or death. That is why it is crucial for drivers to be aware of what they are doing while operating one. "Our biggest goal is good patient care, get them out of the vehicle, get them into the ambulance," said Chief Dan Zaccard of North Boone Fire District #3. Zaccard described protocol while responding to crashes, something that firefighters have done multiple times in the past week. The department responded to nine accidents in just a five day span, the most recent being an accident involving two cars at Beloit and Spring Creek Roads on Tuesday.

KDVR-TV FOX 31 DENVER Michigan non-profit introduces surf therapy to veterans, first responders VIDEO: It's quickly gaining a global following.

Sharing this effective therapy with veterans and first responders is why West Michigan based non-profit Third Coast Rising exists. 13 ON YOUR SIDE got to see firsthand why it works. The beautiful blue waves of Lake Michigan can bring healing. "It's all about mindfulness, I feel like surfing is the best thing for being mindful," said Mark Cox, the veteran contact for Third Coast Rising. He first learned of surfing's benefits while serving in the Air Force. "It's going to be so awesome for veterans and first responders to get out here because they don't have to think about the past or the future or the worries they might have, they just think about the moment," Cox said. WZZM-TV ABC 13 GRAND RAPIDS Firefighter shares his 9/11 story ahead of 21st anniversary VIDEO: With less than a week until the 21st anniversary of Sept. 11, News 12's Greg Thompson sat down with a firefighter to speak about the memories he still has. James McCarthy remembers exactly where he was on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001 – at home, on his day off. When he saw what happened, he drove to his ladder in Melrose, then headed to the World Trade Center. McCarthy says he and his fellow firefighters weren't concerned about time as they reached ground zero, and recalls spending weeks, and then months cutting and digging through the remains of the World Trade Center. "I wouldn't say anything has faded except for the raw emotion of it and the trauma of going down there," said McCarthy. NEWS 12 NEW JERSEY Four years after Ohio shooting, survivor reunites with first responders who saved her VIDEO: On the morning of Sept. 6, 2018, a man holding a 9 mm handgun walked into Fifth Third Center and opened fire. Omar Enrique Santa-Perez shot 35 rounds in four minutes and 28 seconds, killing three people and wounding two others. Cincinnati police arrived on scene almost immediately, and first responders did everything they could to help those shot. Four years after the shooting, survivor Whitney Austin said she constantly thinks about those who didn't make it home. "I get to be with my children, I get to be with my husband, I mean everyone I love — I've been given four bonus years," Austin said. "But on the flip side of that, I think about those who lost their lives on this day and how their family members have an entirely opposite experience."
