  45. <p>A large number of people and pets were forced to escape a morning fire in Raynham, Thursday. The blaze left a cat dead, officials say.</p>
  46.  
  47.  
  48.  
  49. <p>Crews responded to 1587 Broadway, shortly before 8 a.m., for reports of a fire. “Crews arrived to find heavy fire in the rear of the house. Seven occupants, five cats, a rabbit and a couple snakes escaped from the burning home. One cat died in the fire,” according to Raynham Fire Chief Bryan LaCivita.</p>
  50.  
  51.  
  52.  
  53. <p>It took about 30 minutes for firefighters to put the fire out, officials say. The fire forced a portion of Broadway to be shut down. The road was reopened around 10:30 a.m., according to officials.</p>
  54.  
  55.  
  56.  
  57. <p>Two people were evaluated on scene by EMS. There were no injuries to any people or firefighters, according to the Raynham Fire Department.</p>
  58.  
  59.  
  60.  
  61. <p>“House fires like this should serve as vital reminders to homeowners to ensure their smoke alarms are functioning properly. Smoke alarms save lives and property and make all of our jobs a little bit easier,” Chief LaCivita said.</p>

  92. <p>PHOTOS: A house in the 400 block of Grant Place on Aurora&#8217;s Southwest Side was destroyed early Thursday morning after a blaze broke out in the attic, fire officials said. A total of 28 personnel were called to the 2.5-story house, which was converted into three units, at about 1:49 a.m. after an Aurora police officer spotted flames coming from the attic, according to a news release.</p>
  93.  
  94.  
  95.  
  96. <p>The officers helped evacuate two residents and their two dogs, but thick smoke prevented them from clearing the remaining units, officials said. Fire crews arrived to find fire showing from the second floor and attic at the rear of the house, leading to firefighters upgrading the alarm to bring more personnel to the scene.</p>
  97.  
  98.  
  99.  
  100. <p>Firefighters advanced hose lines to the second floor, completed searches and began vertical ventilation on the roof. Fire was concealed in several void spaces, requiring crews to remain on the scene &#8220;for an extended period&#8221; to conduct extensive overhaul, officials said.</p>

  174. <p>As Halloween festivities ramp up across Illinois, the Office of the Illinois State Fire Marshal (OSFM) is reminding families to celebrate safely and keep fire hazards in check. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), from 2019 to 2023 an average of 832 home fires began with holiday decorations each year.</p>
  175.  
  176.  
  177.  
  178. <p>These fires caused three civilian deaths, 28 injuries, and $17 million in property damage annually. Nearly half were started when decorations were placed too close to heat sources, while about one-third began with candles. The U.S. Fire Administration also reported that roughly 9,200 fires occur nationwide each year around Halloween.</p>
  179.  
  180.  
  181.  
  182. <p>“Simple safety steps can make a big difference in keeping your family and community safe,” said Illinois State Fire Marshal Michele Pankow. “Choose safe decorations, flame-resistant materials, and battery-operated candles instead of real flames to ensure a fun and fire-safe Halloween.”</p>

  214. <p>Chatham County Fire will host free training on refrigerated container hazards in January 2026 following the line-of-duty death of a Greene County battalion chief in September of last year.</p>
  215.  
  216.  
  217.  
  218. <p>Battalion Chief Chris Eddy of Greene County Fire Rescue was killed Sept. 4, 2024, by an explosion from a refrigerated container carrying frozen chicken.</p>
  219.  
  220.  
  221.  
  222. <p>In a social media post on October 29, 2025, Chatham County Fire says the incident prompted Fire Chief Rodney Wiggins to develop specialized training focused on the tragedy and responder safety implications.</p>
  223.  
  224.  
  225.  
  226. <p>“This wasn’t just a tragic accident,” Wiggins said. “This was a wake-up call for all of us in emergency services.”</p>
  227.  
  228.  
  229.  
  230. <p>Wiggins said he developed the class to ensure Eddy’s sacrifice would not be in vain. The training focuses on unique hazards posed by refrigerated containers during emergency incidents.</p>
  231.  
  232.  
  233.  
  234. <p>The Reefer Container Awareness training is scheduled for Jan. 13-14, 2026, and is free to attend.</p>

  264. <content:encoded><![CDATA[
  265. <p>VIDEO: High winds and dry fuel can make for a destructive, and sometimes deadly combination. Wildfires burn through nearly an estimated billion acres of land worldwide every year &#8212; that’s a little under half of the total area of the United States.</p>
  266.  
  267.  
  268.  
  269. <p>In an ever-changing world, sometimes your best option to battle flames on the ground, is to view from afar. Visible satellite imagery certainly helps track smoke plumes and the like &#8212; but what about finding the most likely hotspots before things heat up in the first place? Enter Dr. Chris Ruf at the University of Michigan, and their work on “CYGNSS.”</p>
  270.  
  271.  
  272.  
  273. <p>“[CYGNSS] doesn’t see the fires, it sees things that can burn, so it maps fire likelihood,” Dr. Ruf explains. “The goal there, when you have a lot of satellites in orbit, is you come back around to the same spot really often &#8212; every tens of minutes.”</p>
  274.  
  275.  
  276.  
  277. <p>CYGNSS has been on orbit for nearly a decade, at first intended to measure more accurate wind speeds over the ocean ahead of hurricanes, but now targeting the likelihood of wildfires. The Wolverine team worked on those sensors, and now the “Muon Space” company is helping to build upon that work, designing and building new satellites in the heart of Silicon Valley.</p>

  365. <p>VIDEO: FDNY Commissioner Robert S. Tucker joined New York City officials on Tuesday, Oct. 28, 2025, to officially break ground on the site of the future home of FDNY Engine Company 268/Ladder Company 137 in Queens.</p>
  366.  
  367.  
  368.  
  369. <p>The new firehouse will be built at 116-11 Beach Channel Drive, replacing the existing building located on Beach 116th Street. The new firehouse location is across the street from the September 11th Tribute Park.</p>
  370.  
  371.  
  372.  
  373. <p>&#8220;Today, we break ground on a new firehouse that represents resilience, progress, and a commitment to protecting the people of The Rockaways,&#8221; FDNY Commissioner Tucker said. </p>
  374.  
  375.  
  376.  
  377. <p>&#8220;This project has been years in the making. Of more than 1,000 potential locations, this site stood out, because it allows us to build for the future right here in the heart of the community. This new, state-of-the-art facility was designed with resilience and sustainability in mind. This new firehouse will stand as a beacon of safety and service for generations to come, and I can&#8217;t wait to see this vision come to fruition.&#8221;</p>
