Fire causes partial roof collapse at Dallas apartment complex VIDEO: The Dallas Fire Department battled a fire at an apartment complex in the 3100 block of Park Lane Thursday afternoon. Crews responded to the fire at 1:23 p.m. at the Stone Manor Apartments in northwest Dallas. When firefighters arrived at the 2-story apartment complex, they could see heavy fire coming through the roof of one of the buildings. The fire went to two alarms shortly after at 1:32 p.m. The fire caused a partial roof collapse in the original building where the fire started. A request for a three-alarm response was later made for manpower before attack teams brought the fire under control, declaring the fire out at 2:48 p.m., according to DFR. No patients were transported to area hospitals for injuries but two people were evaluated for minor injuries and transported themselves to medical facilities, according to DFR. KXAS-TV NBC 5 FORT WORTH Harris County recycling plant catches fire PHOTOS: According to the Cy-Fair Fire Department, there was a trash fire at a metal recycling plant in the 12200 block of FM 529. Due to the fire, there were multiple closures in the area including 529, Fairview, and Wright Road. As of 9:52 a.m. Thursday, the department said that the Harris County Hazmat and Harris County Pollution Control were monitoring the air quality in the area. There were no toxins or danger in the air. Deputy Chief #10, Trevor Wright said the fire had been contained, but there was lots of clean up ahead. There are currently no additional details at this time on the cause of the fire. One firefighter was injured. KIAH-TV CW 39 HOUSTON Rusk County Fire Marshal warns about fire risk despite recent rain Rain over the past week has many East Texas fire officials backing off from considering burn bans, but that danger is not completely over yet. Rusk County Fire Marshal Patrick Dooley gave an update at commissioners court to state that they are out of immediate danger, but did urge caution, saying conditions could change quickly. "Whether it rains or not, the push that we're seeing is it's cooling off," Dooley said. "Many people got some beneficial rainfall, unfortunately many in our region didn't get anything," says Matt Burnett of the Texas A&M Forest Service. The late August-early September rains cooled the KBDI, or Keetch Byrum Drought Index, so that levels are under 600 now, meaning ground fuels such as grass and underbrush have moisture at acceptable levels.

VIDEO: Residents allowed to return home following evacuation for commercial fire in Ohio PHOTOS: Residents are permitted to return to their homes after a commercial fire in Akron that prompted an evacuation order burned for most of Thursday. The all-clear came at 8 p.m. Akron Mayor Shammas Malik earlier Thursday said there were no air quality or chemical concerns outside the evacuation zone as fire officials continued to battle a large chemical fire at SMB Products on Rosemary Boulevard. Fire crews were first called to the business at about 1:15 p.m. on Thursday, encountering black smoke and flames. SMB Products provides chemical packaging services for aerosols and liquids. Chemicals burning in the fire include methanol, propane and xylene. "Due to the nature of the chemicals present and the extent of the flames, fire companies used a defensive mode for approaching the fire," reads a Thursday evening update from the Akron Fire Department. WJW-TV FOX 8 CLEVELAND More FDNY responders have died from 9/11-related illnesses than the attack itself The New York City Fire Department has lost dozens of members this past year to diseases related to rescue-and-recovery work after Sept. 11, 2001, pushing the department over a grim threshold: More FDNY responders have now died from 9/11-related diseases than were killed on the day of the attack. "Our list of heroes grows each year," said FDNY Acting Chief John Esposito at a solemn ceremony Wednesday during which 32 of the most recent deaths were added to the FDNY World Trade Center Memorial Wall. On Sept. 11, 2001, 343 FDNY responders were killed, many as they rushed into burning, collapsing skyscrapers to try to save lives. Since that day, 363 more have died of illnesses related to the toxic work of digging through rubble looking for survivors and recovering the deceased, including fellow firefighters, according to the FDNY. GOTHAMIST In 100-degree heat, Los Angeles firefighters rescue worker trapped in trench VIDEO: After nearly six hours, Los Angeles firefighters saved a construction worker who fell into an 8-foot deep trench in Los Feliz — a rescue mission carried out during a sweltering, triple-digit heat wave. The man was left in serious condition and had to be taken to a hospital by paramedics while two firefighters were treated at the scene for heat exhaustion, with one ultimately taken to a hospital, according to the LA Fire Department. When firefighters responded just before 11 a.m., the man was conscious and alert but was surrounded by dirt up to his shoulders inside a trench in the back of a hillside home, the LA Fire Department said in an alert Thursday morning. He was at a construction site at a house in the 2300 block of Catalina Street. KCAL-TV CBS 9 LOS ANGELES Massachusetts recognizes September as College Fire Safety Month VIDEO: This is a busy time for college students new and old. It can be extremely dangerous if students aren't given the proper training. Just last Sunday, a fire started in a dorm room at UMass. The cause: a burning candle left unattended. While no one was injured, that isn't always the case. A 21-year-old died in an off-campus apartment fire in 2013. September has more college campus fires than any other month according to the Department of Fire Services. Tony Spear, a lieutenant with the West Springfield Fire Department, described how new college students should handle a very common scenario. "If you're in a dorm room you might have a bunch of people in there. Just be aware of where you are. Make sure you're aware of the exits to the buildings. Make sure you're aware of what you've got going on in the buildings," said Spear. WWLP-TV NBC/CW+ 22 SPRINGFIELD PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
