| VIDEO: Pipeline fire in Deer Park burns throughout the night, into morning Nearly 24 hours after a pipeline in Deer Park burst into flames, that fire was still intensely burning. The temperature from the fire was so intense it torched a nearby playground. Firefighters hosed down their equipment and nearby homes, but that wasn't enough to fight back against the radiant heat. At least five homes were damaged. Officials announced Monday evening an SUV drove through a fence and hit the pipeline valve. Energy Transfer owns the pipeline and after more than three hours, they were able to shut down two valves to cut off the natural gas fueling the fire. Those two valves are twenty miles apart, according to Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo. All the gas still in those lines has to burn off before the fire goes out.

Responders on scene said they arrived around 12:40 a.m. to East Ben White Boulevard, not far from Interstate Hwy 35 and State Hwy 71, to find a fire at the back of the restaurant. Crews said the fire spread to the attic and to part of an inside wall, but was contained to one side of the building.

KPRC-TV NBC 2 HOUSTON Growing Idaho: Boise's growth slowing down firefighters VIDEO: Boise is growing up and out, which is making for more homes and more fires for our firefighters to battle. So, is all the growth making you less safe? We talked to Boise's Fire Chief to find out. Growth is a fact of life in the Boise area. The population exploded by more than 50% in the past two decades. It means more apartments, taller buildings, and a denser downtown. Does that mean firefighters' tactics are having to change to keep up with the changing skyline? Boise Fire Chief Mark Niemeyer said they're ready to fight any fire anywhere. But there is a pretty big problem with all this growth. "We're always learning new techniques, but the core components of fighting those fires really haven't changed, even with the growth," said Chief Niemeyer. KTVB-TV NBC 7 BOISE Mississippi VFD honors veterans with new truck featuring American flag, soldier kneeling VIDEO: In Forrest County, the McLaurin Volunteer Fire Department welcomed a new fire truck, but this one has a deeper meaning. Stationed near Camp Shelby, the sides of the new McLaurin fire truck feature the American flag and a silhouette of a soldier kneeling. On the back is an emblem that reads, ‘Honoring those who served,' with a 22 in the middle that signifies the number of veterans that commit suicide daily in the United States. Forrest County Fire Coordinator Chip Brown says this truck symbolizes a thank you to all who have fought for our country. "This truck will be stationed right by Camp Shelby Ridge, at the McLaurin Volunteer Fire Department, and we want to honor those who serve our country," said Brown.
