VIDEO: Two firefighters were injured after a gun was pointed at them, and they jumped from the second-floor of an apartment complex in southwest Houston on Saturday, according to the Houston Police Department. Houston firefighters responded to the 6000 block of Bissonnet Street at about 11 p.m. to save a man who was having seizures. First responders arrived, and they spoke to the man, who appeared confused. They were going to take him to the hospital, and he asked if he could grab a t-shirt before leaving. The man went into his room and returned with a loaded gun. "He pointed at the firemen, and they ran from the apartment. Both firemen jumped from the second floor," HPD Lt. Riley said. One of the firefighters injured his right arm, and the other firefighter had minor injuries on his face. They were both taken to a local hospital.

VIDEO: The hockey game at the StarCenter Farmer's Branch was more than a game. It was to raise money to help Dallas Police Sgt. Will Mark as he recovers from a stroke he had on the job last month. The Dallas Police hockey team took on the Fort Worth Firefighter team, and the stands were packed. "The love is overwhelming," Mark said. "It's like the family that doesn't live in the house with you. Everyone in this building, everyone in this line right there, I'd take a bullet for them and I know they would do the same for me." From t-shirt and hat sales to raffle tickets for a signed jersey, puck, and hockey stick from Dallas Stars player Jason Robinson, every dollar went to help Mark. "To have big guys like him putting this forward," Dallas Police Senior Corporal Bill Breakfield said of Robinson's donations. "It helps even more."

Two St. Johns County leaders are pushing for significant changes at the state level to better protect firefighters who experience "line of duty" injuries or sicknesses. It stems from this explosion and fire in St. Augustine that happened back in August of 2011. David Stevens is the union president for St. Johns County Professional Firefighters. He remembers that day in 2011 well. "I remember going into our county administration and seeing stacks of gear piled up," Stevens said. "Because they had to get [the firefighters] out of the gear from all of the chemicals that have been absorbed on the firefighters." More than 12 years later, several firefighters have said their health was severely affected by that scene. It even forced at least two of them to medically retire, including the late Michael Riley.  

VIDEO: West Metro Fire started the dog therapy program four years ago with two dogs, Remmey and Captain. Fast forward to today, the program is the largest in the state, with 11 therapy dogs. "The dogs bring an amazing sense of calmness and excitement to our crews. The dogs are just a really good addition to our crews and we've added to our toolbox of mental health and wellness," said Captain Reid Norwood at West Metro Fire station 3. Firefighters respond to thousands of calls each year, some of those calls can be difficult and hit close to home for some firefighters, which can leave a lasting impact on crews even for those who have years of experience. "I think historically, firefighters, we would just bury whatever we were experiencing. That includes hard calls and whatever's going on at home."
