Follow Up: Tacoma marina fire cause under investigation

In the light of the day after the fire, this is all that remains of the five boats that once occupied these slips at the Tyee Marina in Tacoma. One boat is underwater. Two are nearly submerged. And the two that are still floating are beyond repair. So once the fire was out, the concern shifted to the 100 gallons of fuel estimated to be on board the five boats.

Palm Bay (FL) Firefighters Hold Ladder Climb to Help Feed Children

Palm Bay firefighters held a ladder climb Saturday for the Children's Hunger Project. Firefighters were at the Wal-Mart on Malabar Road SouthEast Saturday to raise money through the purchase of gift cards that will be used by the Children's Hunger Project for local food distribution for kids.
Palm Bay firefighters climbed a 100 foot aerial ladder truck for each gift card that was purchased while carrying a bag of food with them as they went up.
