| 2 dead after fiery crash shuts down lanes on I-35 in Austin VIDEO: Two people are dead after a fiery crash Monday night on Interstate 35 near 51st Street, Austin-Travis County EMS said. Paramedics with ATCEMS responded to the 5300 block of N. I-35 southbound just after 8:30 p.m. That's just north of 51st Street. Callers reported a possible vehicle on fire, Austin Police said. Once officers arrived, they found a single truck/SUV-type vehicle fully engulfed in flames, police said. Austin firefighters helped to put out the fire. Officers found the vehicle was occupied by at least two people at the time of the crash. The two occupants were pronounced dead at the scene, ATCEMS said. No descriptions of the victims are available yet. ATCEMS said the vehicle collided with a semi-truck. The driver of that semi stayed at the scene and was treated by EMS for injuries not considered life-threatening. KXAN-TV NBC 36 AUSTIN Beeville Volunteer Fire Department one of first in the state to implement state-of-the-art Lunar device PHOTOS: When the Beeville Volunteer Fire Department received its latest piece of firefighting technology, it took Assistant Chief Kirk Delgado just four words to sum up what it would do for the department. "This will save lives," Delgado quipped, describing the MSA Lunar, an advanced thermal imaging and search-and-rescue device manufactured by MSA Safety. The Lunar is a handheld wireless image device that can detect heat signatures as well as the edges of doors and windows. Edge detection, according to the device's description from MSA, is a "thermal palette exclusive to Lunar, which accentuates areas of temperature difference with bright green highlight over a white-hot overlay." It's not the department's first wireless thermal imaging device, but it is about half the size of the department's current device, making it much easier for firefighters to carry with them while battling a blaze. BEEVILLE BEE-PICAYUNE Family, pets able to escape San Antonio house fire A family of four and their pets are safe Tuesday morning after a late-night fire at their home on the West Side. San Antonio firefighters said the fire broke out around 10 p.m. Monday in the 800 block of SW 39th Street. A power strip shorted out and caught fire, authorities said, but the flames were contained to the living room. No one was injured. Fire investigators were called to the scene and the damage is estimated at $20,000. The American Red Cross was also called to assist the family.

WFAA-TV ABC 8 DALLAS Residents displaced after fire destroys house in Rusk County Several departments responded to a house fire on Monday afternoon. According to Michael Searcy, Rusk County OEM, the fire was first called in just before 5 p.m. The burning residence was located on County Road 316, about three miles south of Henderson. Searcy said that at least two people, including one person who was in a wheelchair, were helped out of the burning house. It is not clear whether anyone was taken to the hospital. Searcy added that due to the amount of fire, smoke and water damage, the house is likely a total loss.

| Hay Fire In Colorado Consumes Haunted House VIDEO: Parker residents were warned to expect smoky conditions for several hours Monday morning while firefighters and equipment operators work to extinguish a blaze near Twenty Mile Road and South Parker Road. The fire started in hay bales at 11321 Dransfeldt Road. South Metro first sent out a Twitter message about the department's initial response to the fire at 1:31 a.m. Not quite 45 minutes later, South Metro's follow-up message stated the fire "would continue to burn for an extended period of time." There are no evacuations necessary, the fire is contained, and no one has been injured, the department added. But gusty winds have complicated the already difficult task of extinguishing the hay fire. A haunted house was destroyed. Fire trucks called tenders are shuttling water to the area. Twenty Mile Road is currently closed as part of this operation. KCNC-TV CBS 4 DENVER Firefighters burn down houses in Las Vegas, courtesy of developers VIDEO: If you're a developer, what's one way to get rid of some houses to clear space for a new project? Let 'em burn. Having bought nearly $17 million worth of real estate in the southern Las Vegas Valley, Richmond American Homes donated houses to the Clark County Fire Department for training. One Friday afternoon last month, after fire crews trained in a house over the course of three days, they stripped the drywall, went outside and watched as the one-story house went up in flames. The so-called live-fire training, off Valley View Boulevard and Cactus Avenue, offered a glimpse into a seemingly little-known slice of Las Vegas' housing market: Instead of demolishing homes, builders sometimes give them to firefighters to burn to the ground. Southern Nevada homebuilders frequently buy project sites that are empty tracts of land, with no structures to demolish.

BEEVILLE BEE-PICAUYUNE After nearly a century, Illinois fire station closes VIDEO/PHOTOS: Decatur's oldest working fire station took its last call on Monday. The doors of Fire Station 3, the small fire station at the entrance of Fairview Park, closed as the firefighters and their equipment were moved around the corner to the new Fire Station 6 in Fairview Plaza. Capt. Paige Griffy has answered emergency calls from the old brick building for nearly eight years. "I'm in charge of this house on this day," he said. "There's three shifts and there's a captain on the other two shifts. We just keep rotating." The building is nearly 100 years old, with additions being made throughout the years. According to Griffy, the location was ideal for the neighborhoods, which includes Millikin University and Fairview Park. "That doesn't happen very often," he said. "Usually you have to compromise somewhere." HERALD & REVIEW WHO Releases First Official Long COVID Definition Although most COVID-19 patients recover after their initial infection, about 10% to 20% experience new, returning, or lingering symptoms for weeks or months. Over the past year this condition has been called many names, including "long COVID" and "chronic COVID-19 syndrome." But until now, there was a lack of an official clinical definition that detailed the time of onset, duration, and types of symptoms. For over a year, medical professionals and researchers have struggled to diagnose patients and provide them with the right care. To address the challenges brought by the absence of globally standardized terminology for the long-term effects of the condition, the World Health Organization (WHO) recently published an official definition.
