VIDEOS: Multiple departments respond to intense fire in Illinois

Crews from multiple departments responded overnight Tuesday after an intense fire destroyed multiple modular structures in Cahokia Heights. The fire broke out a little before 2 a.m. on the 3900 block of Mississippi Avenue. The incident involved an abandoned business and several construction site trailers.

When firefighters arrived on the scene, they encountered an active fire in one of the buildings that had begun to spread. At least two double-wide trailers and a single-wide trailer were burned in the fire.

According to officials, crews faced multiple challenges while trying to put out the fire, including the lack of nearby hydrants and windy conditions. At least nine fire departments responded, with operations extending over a extended period.

The fire is out and an investigation into the fire is ongoing. Officials have labeled the fire as suspicious due to there being no electricity near the abandoned business or trailers. At this point, no injuries have been reported.

Utah firefighters roll out mobile outreach clinic for homeless community

VIDEO: The Ogden Fire Department has a new tool to help meet people in the unsheltered community where they are. This week, the department launched a mobile outreach clinic to give immediate medical care to people experiencing homelessness.

“In our hearts, we need to love them and care about them,” said Ogden City Fire Chief Mike Slater. “And that’s the approach we took. We just want to help people get the right health care, and what we do know is taking someone to the emergency room is not always the best care for that individual.”

It started off with a new initiative last year. Slater said most of the calls for service to the fire department come from the Lantern House homeless shelter. So, through state grants, the department hired a medical advocate to be on-site full-time and help with triage, medication and setting people up with the right medical care. The department said it has been successful so far.

“It’s been a huge relief, especially to our staff and the clients,” said Lauren Navidomskis, the executive director of the Lantern House, “knowing that more than those service workers and the law enforcement agencies, like, there’s a community that’s wrapping behind them.”
