| VIDEO: Denny's kitchen fire spreads through Flying J along I-10 in San Antonio, destroys building San Antonio firefighters responded to a massive fire at a Flying J and Denny's along Interstate 10 on the East Side on Thursday morning. SAFD Chief Charles Hood said they initially got a call about a fire in the restaurant's kitchen at 5:15 a.m. The restaurant is attached to the Flying J in the 1800 block of Foster Road, near I-10. The flames quickly spread throughout the building, Hood said, and the fire was fueled by the wind and grease in the kitchen. Customers and employees inside the building were able to make it out safely. The building, however, was destroyed and firefighters were trying to let the fire burn out and burn away the metal roof, Hood said. The flames burned near some fuel lines and also reached a fire truck, causing some damage. KSAT-TV ABC 12 SAN ANTONIO Man found dead in bedroom after firefighters extinguish house fire on Houston's southside A man was found dead after a house fire on Houston's southside overnight. Firefighters were called to a home on Wenda Street near Martin Luther King Boulevard just before 11 p.m. Wednesday. Officials said they arrived to find the home engulfed in flames. Firefighters looked for the homeowner, but didn't find him. "Initially, they attempted a primary search. It came up negative. They searched the building as they were attempting to attack the fire," District Chief Issac Garcia said. "They subsequently performed a secondary search with other crews and again, found nothing." It wasn't until firefighters put the fire out that they found the victim -- a man in his 60s -- in a bedroom. Garcia said it may have been difficult to find the man because there was a lot of debris and items in the room where he was found.

"When we saw Brandon [Gautsch] and Royce [Wetterhahn] walk up with a box of sleds, we're going - what do they have up their sleeve today?" said Katie Lindenfelser, the founder and executive director of Crescent Cove. The sleds were immediately embraced by all the kids staying at Crescent Cove.

WCCO-TV CBS 4 MINNEAPOLIS Wisconsin woman renovates 1915 firehouse into a home VIDEO: A regular home just wasn't interesting enough for one Kenosha woman. So instead of the white picket fence or home in a cul-de-sac, she bought a firehouse built in 1915, fixed it up, and has been happily living in it ever since. Rhonda Dutton wanted to find a unique home, just like her sister Terry Evans. But we will get to that later. So when Terry told Rhonda about a firehouse for sale in Kenosha, Rhonda knew she had to check it out. "We went upstairs, and I made an offer, and before we came downstairs there was a deal," Dutton said. She bought the home for about $110,000 back in 2008. There have only been three owners of the building including Rhonda. Before she purchased it, another individual owned it and used it as storage for his motorcycles. Before him, the firehouse belonged to the fire department. WTMJ-TV NBC 4 MILWAUKEE New Jersey lawmakers want to require training to help first responders fight electric vehicle fires When a veteran correctional officer crashed his electric car in May, it took firefighters an hour and a half and 30,000 gallons of water to douse the blaze. That was too late for Daniel Sincavage, who died when he got trapped in his burning Tesla after it veered off the road and hit trees as he drove between facilities at Southern State Correctional Facility in Cumberland County. Now, several state lawmakers want to make sure firefighters and other first responders are better armed to fight fires that ignite in electric vehicles, which require specialized training and gear to extinguish because their lithium-ion batteries burn hotter and longer than gasoline engines. One bill would require firefighters and emergency medical technicians in New Jersey to be trained on the risks of electric vehicle fires and how to safely and effectively put them out.
