  42. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cedar Park’s fire chief will now to get to help enforce statewide fire services after he was appointed to the Texas Commission on Fire Protection by Gov. Greg Abbott, the city of Cedar Park said in a news release Thursday. Cedar Park Fire Chief James Mallinger is part of the commission that “will help shape and uphold statewide fire service standards while offering guidance and support to fire departments across Texas, reinforcing his longstanding dedication to advancing fire safety and professional excellence,” the city said in the release. The term is set to expire Feb. 1, 2029. “Chief James Mallinger began his fire service career as a volunteer in 1989, joining the Cedar Park Fire Department in 1996. Over nearly three decades, he has risen through the ranks—from Firefighter to Lieutenant, Captain, Assistant Chief, and ultimately Fire Chief in 2012, following two interim appointments. He also served six years as the City’s Emergency Management Coordinator,” the city said.</p><h4 class="wp-block-heading">KXAN-TV NBC 36 Austin</h4><div class="wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"><div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button" href="https://www.kxan.com/news/local/cedar-park/abbott-names-cedar-park-fire-chief-to-texas-commission-on-fire-protection/" style="background-color:#b33232" target="_blank" rel="noopener">View Full Story</a></div></div><p>The post <a href="https://dailydispatch.com/news/texas/governor-abbott-names-cedar-park-fire-chief-to-texas-commission-on-fire-protection/">Governor Abbott names Cedar Park fire chief to Texas Commission on Fire Protection</a> appeared first on <a href="https://dailydispatch.com">Daily Dispatch</a>.</p>

The fire happened Friday morning in the 12000 block of Grapevine Street, not far from Potranco Road. Division Chief for Community Outreach and Prevention Rudy Khalaf said several dogs treated on the scene were administered oxygen. Their conditions remain unknown. Khalaf said a total of 38 dogs were inside the home. The owner managed to escape without injuries. Bexar County Public Information Officer Jennifer Luna told KSAT that five dogs at the house died and another died later at the vet. A worker with Vet Tech told KSAT that they provided treatment to around 15 dogs for burns and smoke inhalation.</p><h4 class="wp-block-heading">KSAT-TV ABC 12 San Antonio</h4><div class="wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-2 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"><div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button" href="https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2025/05/09/5-dogs-killed-33-others-rescued-after-house-fire-in-far-west-bexar-county-officials-say/" style="background-color:#b33232" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer noopener">View Full Story</a></div></div><p></p><p>The post <a href="https://dailydispatch.com/news/texas/6-dogs-killed-32-others-rescued-after-house-fire-in-far-west-bexar-county-officials-say/">6 dogs killed, 32 others rescued after house fire in far west Bexar County, officials say</a> appeared first on <a href="https://dailydispatch.com">Daily Dispatch</a>.</p>

The Mauldin Fire Department responded to a reported chemical spill, with reaction, at the VLS Piedmont at 11:24 a.m. on Friday. Officials said that upon arrival, a fire broke out in the building. The building had already been evacuated before the fire department arrived. The Mauldin Fire Department quickly put out the fire; however, vapor clouds continued to linger, officials said. A truck with the fire department was sent over to Drury Lane to monitor air quality, due to the area bordering the VLS property. Residents were advised to take temporary shelter as a precaution. </p><h4 class="wp-block-heading">WSPA-TV CBS 7 Spartanburg</h4><div class="wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-4 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"><div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button" href="https://www.wspa.com/news/top-stories/road-closed-due-to-chemical-spill-in-mauldin/" style="background-color:#b33232" target="_blank" rel="noopener">View Full Story</a></div></div><p>The post <a href="https://dailydispatch.com/news/south-carolina/one-hospitalized-after-chemical-reaction-at-mauldin-plant-starts-fire/">One hospitalized after chemical reaction at Mauldin plant starts fire</a> appeared first on <a href="https://dailydispatch.com">Daily Dispatch</a>.</p>

  162. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>VIDEO: For many Atlanta firefighters, the greatest danger isn’t the flames they battle—it’s the cancer risks that come with the job. Research from around the world has long linked firefighting to increased exposure to carcinogens, and Atlanta is no exception. Firefighters face significantly higher rates of several forms of cancer, including leukemia, colon, prostate, brain, multiple myeloma, skin cancer, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and mesothelioma. Studies show this is largely due to repeated exposure to harmful chemicals absorbed through the skin and lungs during fire responses. The city has shared the stories of firefighters like Lieutenant Aaron McMillian and Frank Martinez, the latter of whom died from cancer nearly a decade ago. </p><h4 class="wp-block-heading">WAGA-TV FOX 5 Atlanta</h4><div class="wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-9 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"><div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button" href="https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/leaders-say-cancer-screenings-atlanta-firefighters-necessary" style="background-color:#b33232" target="_blank" rel="noopener">View Full Story</a></div></div><p>The post <a href="https://dailydispatch.com/news/georgia/leaders-say-cancer-screenings-for-atlanta-firefighters-are-necessary/">Leaders say cancer screenings for Atlanta firefighters are necessary</a> appeared first on <a href="https://dailydispatch.com">Daily Dispatch</a>.</p>
