VIDEO: Kilgore College held a 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony at their fire academy today. They chose this day to unveil a collection of antique firefighter helmets donated to the college that are now on display at the fire academy.
A lot of things come to mind with the word collection, and firefighter helmets may not be top of the list, but for former firefighter Addy Hadaway it was a no-brainer.

The robot’s name is CLARI, which stands for Compliant Legged Articulated Robotic Insect. It was built in the image of a bug. It’s tiny, squishable and can shape-shift to fit through different gaps.

VIDEO: Fire Station 151, near the Clark County Fairgrounds, has been used only lightly since it was finished about 20 years ago. Now, a new partnership between two fire districts has the station up and running with full-time staff.
Clark-Cowlitz Fire Rescue and Clark County Fire District 6 began jointly staffing the station full-time this month, with Clark-Cowlitz crews there for one-third of the time and Clark County crews on staff the remaining two-thirds of the time.

VIDEO: The fire off I-82 at milepost eleven that started Sunday morning, is still burning. Right now, it is at 40 percent containment.
The fire has burnt about 300 acres, but as of now, the fire has stayed in the same place from when it started.
"The fact that the fire is kinda sitting in the same footprint that it was close to 24 hours ago is a good thing," said Thomas Kyle-Milward, the wildfire communications specialist for the Washington State Department of Natural Resources.
