Everett firefighter’s invention will close bedroom doors in house fires

VIDEO - It was his daughter’s nighttime habits that turned Joel Sellinger from a firefighter into an inventor. "She'd fall asleep. I'd go shut her door. I'd wake up in the morning, and her door would be open because she had gone to the bathroom or gotten a drink of water," he said.

Twin Falls (ID) Fire Department: Fire Stations Need Updated

A citizen committee to explore fire station options will present Monday to the city a study from Pivot North Architecture detailing the needs of the new stations. The presentation will take place at 3:30 p.m. at City Hall.
