Paving truck catches fire on side of Hwy 90 in Alpine PHOTOS: According to the Alpine Police Department, at about 5:30pm on Thursday, July 25, APD, Brewster County Sheriff's Office, and the Alpine Volunteer Fire Department responded to a vehicle fire at the intersection of West Highway 90 and FM 1703. Officers arrived to a paving truck fully engulfed in flames, with the driver later telling officers that he had to pull to the side of the road due to a high heat alarm alerting him. Upon exiting the truck, the driver discovered flames coming from the rear and quickly spreading to the rest of the truck. The fire was extinguished, but the truck remained a complete loss. However, there were no injuries reported at the scene. APD asked residents to continue to avoid the area if possible while crews cleared the roadway.

VIDEO: More than 1,500 cars burn in massive junkyard fire in Southern California PHOTOS: At least 1,500 vehicles, if not more, inside of an estimated 20-acre junkyard in the Antelope Valley burned in a three-alarm blaze Thursday. Firefighters responded to reports of a "yard fire" at 421 W Ave I off of Sierra Highway in Lancaster just after 3 p.m., L.A. County Fire confirmed to KTLA. In video of the blaze posted to social media, thick plumes of black smoke were seen coming from the location and drifting over the nearby Sierra Highway.

Aerial footage from Sky5 showed several explosions, as well as flames jumping the fence causing firefighters to quickly extinguish small vegetation fires. KTLA-TV CW 5 LOS ANGELES New study in North Carolina hopes to learn more about the connection between PFAS and firefighters' health VIDEO: According to the Environmental Protection Agency, PFAS (or forever chemicals) can be found in almost every American's bloodstream. Based on your career, though, you could be more exposed than others. The National Fire Fighter Cancer Cohort Study is starting its research into PFAS and firefighters' health in North Carolina. Researchers from Duke and NC State are leading the study, hoping to follow firefighters throughout their careers to analyze how PFAS are affecting them. PFAS can be found in certain types of firefighting foam and are used to make firefighters' uniforms water and oil-repellant. "The occupation of firefighting in 2022 was named a known carcinogen," researcher Bryan Ormond with NC State said.
