The Corydon Fire Department spent much of Saturday night and Sunday morning battling a massive fire at a petroleum plant.

Fire Chief Josh Cobb told KCCI they were first called to a fire at Stubbs Petroleum around 9:15 p.m. When they got there, Cobb said, two propane trucks and one fuel delivery truck were also on fire. He says many 55-gallon barrels filled with assorted fuels exploded over the course of several hours.

Cobb noted that one explosion was so massive that it sent a large fireball several hundred feet into the air that could be seen as far as 20 miles away. The fire department evacuated six city blocks while they worked to put out the flames.

Cobb said the response to the fire and explosions was nearly perfectly executed, and they were able to avoid a “catastrophic” event. Firefighters cleared the scene around 4 a.m. Investigators aren’t sure what caused the fire, but Cobb said it was likely electrical.

VIDEO: It’s that time of year when visitors begin flocking to the panhandle for spring break. With the popularity of our beaches also comes risk, from diving accidents to medical emergencies miles offshore. “Spring break is definitely the start of what we call our trauma season. It goes from the spring break time, March, through about Labor Day,” HCA Florida Fort Walton-Destin Trauma Surgeon Dr. Cathy Ho said.

That’s why leaders at HCA Florida Fort Walton-Destin Hospital and the Destin Fire Control District introduced a state-of-the-art rescue and trauma vessel Friday. The 52-foot fire rescue vessel is the largest of its kind in the state.

This vessel is essentially a floating emergency room. First responders say instead of waiting to reach land, they can now begin advanced life-saving treatment right here on the water. “The patients, once they get pulled from the water, will have access to advanced resuscitation and monitoring. And then it’ll be a seamless transition to us in the E.R.,” Ho said.

VIDEOS/PHOTOS: A huge blaze engulfed a building at Glasgow Central Station on Sunday causing it to partially collapse.

The fire started in a vape shop on Union Street on Sunday afternoon, with the B-listed Victorian building collapsing several hours later as flames spread.

All train services at Glasgow Central, Scotland’s busiest station, are expected to be cancelled until at least the end of Monday. National Rail said there was “no estimate on when the station will reopen”.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service urged people to avoid the area as crews continued to battle the blaze at 05:00 GMT, more than 13 hours after firefighters were first alerted. No injuries have been reported.

Following a meeting at midnight, Network Rail said: “As things stand we’ve not identified any significant damage to the station. We’ll get this fully assessed at first light.”

Cowlitz 2 Fire & Rescue responded to a fire alarm at 510 Kelso Drive at 1:39 p.m. Saturday. The building on fire was the Red Lion Hotel. When fire crews arrived, they reported smoke showing from the front side of the building.

Area resident Leo Sukeforth described the early scene. “When I first pulled in from the back side [of the hotel], the flames were coming through the roof, and that just told me that this is a big fire,” Sukeforth said. “At that point, they were starting to call in extra firetrucks from other places.” He added that the building initially was seen projecting black smoke. “After probably about an hour or so, the smoke started to turn into, like, this orangish color, which is like a toxic smoke.”
