Injured Salisbury (MD) Firefighter in Good Spirits After Accident with Fire Apparatus

Though the Salisbury firefighter injured this weekend remains in good spirits after being struck by a city firetruck over the weekend, officials said he may be looking at additional surgeries on his road to recovery.

Fire Chief Richard Hoppes said the firefighter was already in his second surgery as the accident was being addressed during the city's Tuesday morning public safety briefing and could be looking at undergoing another procedure Wednesday. At this time, officials have not identified the firefighters involved in the accident.

Drive-By Shooting Damages Topeka (KS) Fire Station

Fire officials say that the Soldier Township fire station at 600 N.W. 46th St. in Topeka was damaged after a drive-by shooting Monday evening. Staff noticed a single bullet hole that went through an overhead door and a back window of the station.

Two people were at the station at the time, but neither heard the gun shot. They saw the damage a short time later.

Soldier Township Battalion Chief Chris Hamilton, who was on duty at the time, said he wasn’t sure why the fire station was a target.

Sherman (TX) Moving Forward with Work on Two Fire Stations

Significant changes are planned for a pair of Sherman’s fire stations — with one to receive major renovations and the other to be moved to a whole new area of the city.

The Sherman City Council unanimously approved a contract with Schmoldt Construction Inc. Monday to serve as construction manager-at-risk for renovations at Fire Station No. 5, which is located at 3704 Frisco Road on the city’s north side. The council then approved a request to advertise for a construction manager-at-risk for the work to build a new fire station No. 4 on the west side of Northgate Drive.

Fire Chief Danny Jones said the renovations to Fire Station No. 5 will make it more comfortable for the firefighters.
