When a fire broke out on Susan Drive in Saugus (MA) last week, the first due companies for the area were on the west side of town, responding to another alarm at the end of Forrest Street. That, according to the Saugus Firefighters’ Union, left companies “behind the eight ball” as they raced to the scene, ItemLive.com reported.

While no one was wounded in the blaze, the union took to Facebook to once again call for the town to construct a third fire station in west Saugus, which they say would alleviate issues like the ones faced in the response to the Susan Drive fire.

Firefighters gathered at Hughes Springs Volunteer Fire Department Sunday to salvage what records and equipment they could from the mangled I-beams and collapsed rooms of their wrecked building, KLTV.com reported.

It could take a week to clear all the downed trees and debris in this East Texas city slammed by tornadoes this past Friday night, the report said.

Randy Jones arrived at the station Friday night, preparing chainsaws and emergency equipment expecting to help in damage areas, not knowing what was coming next, the report said. Jones somehow got underneath a vehicle, then a workbench toppled over, possibly shielding him from flying debris. He was unscathed while the building around him was wrecked.

The fire department received calls from the public offering assistance as the Facebook post below shows.

Officials in Edmunds County (SD) said 13 departments responded to a grass fire between Bowdle and Roscoe Sunday, according to the Edmunds County Emergency Management.

Tractors with discs attached also helped contain the fire. The fire burned around 12-miles long and from a half-mile to a mile and a half wide at times.

A fire truck and tractor were damaged, but no one was hurt.

A group of Cherokee County firefighters are being temporarily relocated after an accident left their station without power Sunday afternoon, Fox5Atlanta.com reported.

At 4:45 p.m. Sunday, firefighters were inside Fire Station 24 on 1000 River Park Boulevard when they heard a loud explosion, Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services reported.

When they went to check on the noise, they discovered a vehicle had left the road and hit the station, its transformer, and its backup generator, the report said.

Crews quickly responded to treat the driver and control the burning fluid spilling out into the area. Due to the crash, the station has no primary or backup power sources.

Officials expect the repairs to the station to take around two days. While repairs are going on, the firefighters will be relocated to nearby stations, according to the report.

The condition of the driver is not known at this time, the report said.
