Authorities say a 30-year-old man was injured Saturday when he broke out his bedroom window to escape a fire that enveloped his home. Firefighters were called about 6 a.m. to reports of a home on fire at 3303 W. Seventh Ave., according to a Kennewick Fire Department news release. Arriving fire officials found a large volume of fire coming from the building and an injured resident in the front yard, the release said.

Coxreels is proud to announce a seal upgrade to the nitrile 1.5” and 2” inline swivels with advanced multi-lobe sealing technology. The enhanced seals are designed to maximize seal integrity, improve overall seal performance, and maximize seal life. In-depth testing has shown that the performance of the multi-lobe seals exceeds that of the standard O-ring, cup, and T-seals for large capacity fluid handling and high volume delivery in both high and low pressure applications. Additionally, the new seal geometry has a better resistance to compression set, which is a leading cause of premature seal failure.
