The Olney Volunteer Fire Department was overwhelmed with gratitude – and supplies – after Olney's businesses and townspeople flooded the firehouse with water, Gatorade, and snacks as firefighters battled the Campbell Ranch wildfire. The OVFD asked those who want to make a monetary donation to the all-volunteer department to help offset the wear and tear to equipment from a long and busy fire season that is far from over, OVFD Secretary Mathew Ickert said. "We are in pretty good shape on the water and Gatorade but are still accepting donations." Mr. Ickert said. Olney firefighters took the brunt of the battle against the Campbell Ranch fire, which broke out Thursday afternoon – just two days after the Texas A&M University Forestry Service raised the State Wildfire Preparedness Level to Level 4.

VIDEO: Becoming a doctor is no easy feat. Now imagine doing it as a second career after an accident that nearly killed you. One such South Florida physician is making Miami Proud with his passion and persistence. "Emergency medicine is the heartbeat of the hospital and the community," said Dr. Christopher Nunez. He knows that firsthand and from all perspectives. First as a paramedic, then as a patient, and now, as a doctor at Broward Health. "For the last 20 years of my life, I was a paramedic firefighter here in the city of Fort Lauderdale," Nunez said. "After 19 years, I was involved in an accident and I could no longer be a fireman. So I decided to go to medical school." Nunez loved his job with Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue. But one morning in 2017, he was riding his bicycle and collided with a van on State Road A1A.  

A study published in the American Journal of Industrial Medicine found that among volunteer firefighters in the United States, there are gaps in skin cancer prevention efforts. Among firefighters, rates of melanoma incidence and mortality are higher than that of the general population. This can be attributed to excess occupational exposure to ultraviolet rays and cancer-causing agents found in flame retardants. Due to this, the National Fire Protection Association explicitly recommends that firefighters undergo an annual skin cancer screening and skin check. With this in mind, researchers Shah et al sought to examine skin cancer prevalence and prevention efforts among volunteer firefighters in the US, noting that these volunteers account for two thirds of the US fire service.  

In the digital age, where smartphones have become an indispensable part of our lives, the practice of charging our devices overnight has become a norm. It offers the convenience of starting the day with a full battery, ready to tackle the challenges ahead. However, a recent warning from Apple sheds light on the potential dangers associated with charging your iPhone overnight. While the convenience of waking up to a charged phone is undeniable, the risks of fire and injury should not be underestimated. Apple's cautionary message highlights a less-obvious consequence of overnight charging – the risk of overheating. Leaving your iPhone underneath a pillow or buried beneath blankets might seem cozy, but it could lead to hazardous consequences.
