The Krispy Kreme explosion happened early Monday morning. Gumby's General Manager Raul Gonzalez called 9-1-1 when he saw Krispy Kreme on fire, and said he had heard an explosion just before. "There was only one small flame inside the building, but you could definitely tell that the windows were blown out. It was just like broken. After that phone call [with 9-1-1] , literally two minutes later, there were just more explosions. Smaller ones, but yeah, definitely made the fire bigger," said Gonzalez. ATF agents arrived on the scene at Krispy Kreme on Tuesday. In cases like the Krispy Kreme fire, agents are deployed to help local agencies with investigations.

VIDEO: Dashcam shows semi driver hanging over Ohio River moments after Kentucky bridge crash in March We now have a first-person dramatic look at the Clark Memorial Bridge crash that left a semi-truck driver hanging over the Ohio River on March 1. Video from inside and outside the truck's cab was played in court Wednesday morning as the man charged in the crash appeared in court. The dashcam video shows 33-year-old Trevor Branham's pickup truck swerving out of his lane to avoid hitting an electric vehicle that stalled on the bridge. He then crashed into a Sysco semi-truck, driven by 26-year-old Sydney Thomas. As Thomas tried to avoid hitting other vehicles, her semi plows through the bridge's railing and she is left hanging nearly 100 feet above the Ohio River for about 45 minutes. Following the crash, Louisville firefighters conducted a daring rescue to get Thomas out of the semi-truck's cab. WHAS-TV ABC 11 LOUISVILLE One Oregon fire department to start training with virtual reality headsets VIDEO/PHOTOS: Clackamas Fire Department is getting some major upgrades thanks to virtual reality or VR. The station's brand new VR simulation program was funded by the State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) grant. The department is now the second fire agency to use this program in the U.S., a department in Oklahoma was the first. "When you go into a virtual space, your brain thinks you're actually in there and it's pretty compelling," Division Chief Rick Huffman told KATU. "What we would do is use a scenario that is extremely high risk, that doesn't happen very often and is hard to train on." Huffman says there's not always a lot of opportunities to train on specific scenarios that don't happen in Oregon everyday, and the new VR headsets help fill that gap. KATU-TV ABC 2 PORTLAND After more than 2 years of advocacy, FDNY Commissioner celebrates Congressional passage of lithium-ion battery regulation VIDEO: FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh is celebrating the successful Congressional passage of lithium-ion battery regulation, achieved through collaborative advocacy efforts with local, state, and federal partners. "This bill is the first step in what must be a long-term, nationwide conversation," Fire Commissioner Laura Kavanagh said. "Technologies like these are evolving rapidly, and public safety agencies must be part of those conversations. We need to work together, share information and ideas." H.R. 1797, also known as the "Setting Consumer Standards for Lithium-Ion Batteries Act," would require the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to issue a consumer product safety standard for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries used commonly in micro mobility devices, including e-bikes and e-scooters, to protect against fire risk.
