KABB-TV FOX 29 SAN ANTONIO Home being used for storage goes up in flames, San Antonio Fire Department says A home being used as storage caught fire overnight and forced firefighters to go on the defensive, the San Antonio Fire Department said. The fire was called in just before 11:30 p.m. at a home in the 500 block of West Lynwood Avenue, not far from West Hildebrand and San Pedro Avenue on the city's North Side. Firefighters said they arrived to find flames and smoke showing from the house. The fire was put out quickly, but had to be fought defensively since it was too dangerous to go inside the structure. Fire officials said the fire originated outside next to a trailer and some trash and then crept into the home. The house was not lived in but was being used for storage and was completely packed. Initial reports stated that someone lived inside the trailer, but nobody was found. The flames spread and eventually made their way into the attic, firefighters said.

KTVB-TV NBC 7 BOISE One Washington county now using nurses for non-emergency medical calls to 911 Snohomish County has a new tool for 911 response that will help free up emergency responders. It's called the Snohomish County Nurse Navigation Program. A nurse will now handle some medical calls. If a 911 call comes in that's considered a non-emergency, the caller will be directed to a nurse who will help them decide the best course of action, such as a virtual visit with a doctor or a trip to a clinic or urgent care center. The program will keep more first responders available for emergencies. "If you call 911 for a medical issue, typically an ambulance transports you to a hospital emergency room, but the emergency room may not be the right place to receive the right care for your situation," said Everett Fire Chief Dave DeMarco.
