| Newest member of San Antonio Fire Department arson bureau helps investigators detect ignitable liquids VIDEO: The San Antonio Fire Department has a new asset to their arson bureau -- Bruno, the ignitable liquid detection K-9. SAFD has many tools to help rescue crews fight fires and save lives. While we're used to seeing firefighters jumping off their rigs, springing into action, and fighting fires, a part of the department you don't usually see is the arson bureau. "I would be able to do firefighting and the possibility of doing law enforcement as well and then marry that with possibly the K-9 deal. It was just a dream for me," said Aaron Romero, an arson investigator with SAFD. Romero and other investigators work to determine if fires were intentionally set, a tough job if it weren't for help from a four-legged co-worker. Bruno is a 2-year-old lab mix, and he's certified to detect ignitable liquid.

The furnace of line number two developed a leak allowing hot, molten glass to escape from the vessel. The molten glass caused materials under the furnace to ignite. Wichita Falls Fire and EMS was called to the plant to help seal the leak. Six glass plant employees were taken to United Regional Hospital for treatment of heat stress. Plant and engineering specialists will be working to determine the root cause of the glass leak and identify any required long-term repairs."

For her research, she received a $550,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) grant from the Partnerships for Innovation–Research Partnerships program, which aims to take devices developed in the laboratory to the marketplace more quickly. The title of the project is: "PFI-RP: Portable integrated photonic micro-gas chromatography system for rapid gas analysis." UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS - ARLINGTON Horse Stuck in Mud Saved by Denton Fire Officials, Volunteers VIDEO: A horse stuck in the mud was rescued by Denton County Fire Department officials and volunteers Sunday. Officials said they received a call Sunday morning shortly after 7 a.m. and later arrived at the scene, where they found the horse, laying on its side and unable to get up. Firefighters dug through the mud and underneath the horse so the rope could be applied and used to help get the animal out. Ropes were eventually ineffective and even at one point, a tractor was used. A winch was eventually used successfully. A veterinarian was on the scene with medication and assisted in taking care of the horse, who is still resting with IV fluids, food and water and is with the owners. One firefighter was submerged in the mud all the way to his waist to assist the horse and when trying to get out himself, was suctioned in and injured his knee.

| VIDEO: Hand Sanitizer Burns In Oklahoma Manufacturing Building A massive fire burns down an old manufacturing building in Chickasha. Chief Tony Samaniego with the Chickasha Fire Department estimates 1.5 million gallons of hand sanitizer fueled the fire at the Chickasha Manufacturing Building on Sunday. The intense flames and black billowing smoke drew a crowd. "They were tall, they were big, and they were hot," said Alicia Musshafen, who lives nearby. "I was really in shock that the building was engulfed." Nearly 100 firefighters from 15 different agencies responded the fire, only to find their tactics had to change. "Because of the nature of the incident we went into a defensive strategy immediately," said Chief Samaniego. That means they couldn't attack the blaze with water because of the highly flammable and hazardous contents inside.
