man described as emotionally unstable threw a bottle at the windshield of a fire truck and the shattering glass injured a firefighter, according to a report published by RLS Media.

According to the report, the man, who was taking into custody, damaged other parts of the truck and the firefighter was taken to University Hospital for treatment.  

The St. George (UT) Fire Department opened a new station, its ninth, on the south side of the city on Friday, according to a report published by The Spectrum.

The report said Fire Station 9 has been in the planning for seven years and is one of three new stations in the works for the community.

To mark the occasion, a fire hose was used instead of a ribbon cutting ceremony and a fire truck push in was part of the festivities, according to the report.

Light up the scene with the new Spectra Mobile. A bright, portable scene light designed for rapid deployment. The Spectra Mobile features a rugged construction design, unique lens, and multiple mounting options making it perfect for first responders.

The Spectra Mobile provides 15000 lumens of bright light. Powerful Spot/Flood LEDs to illuminate the scene efficiently, close-up with Flood LEDs and in the distance with Spot LEDs. The Spectra Mobile’s unique feature of light intensity control and amber illumination aid visibility in outside environments such as sever forest fire conditions and heavy smoke. Great for rapid deployment in urban and rural search operations.

Some key features of the new Spectra Mobile include: a kick stand, 5-light operating modes, pole mounting capabilities, compatible with Milwaukee battery (18v, 12Ah), rubber hanging strap, and a 15K lumens Spectra lamp head.
