New York Yankees righty reliever Miguel Castro has gone from throwing fire to helping extinguish it. Though he still plans to throw it, too.

Indeed. Castro recently purchased a new fire truck for his hometown—its first!—of Villa Hermosa (Dominican Republic), reports brobible.com.

Villa Hermosa—which has a population sitting around 100,000 and a total area of 61.25 square miles—did not have a fire truck prior to Castro’s generosity, the report says. Castro decided that that would no longer be the case and made the donation to the village’s “Cuerpo de Bomberos.”

The 27-year-old has also played for the Blue Jays, Rockies, Orioles, and Mets since his MLB debut in 2015. He owns a 4.10 ERA with 316 strikeouts to 195 walks in 360.1 innings.

It’s always fun to see a pitcher hit a home run.

Every year during FDIC, the Lucas Oil Stadium is filled with the newest offerings from apparatus manufacturers. 2022 is no exception.

The day before the show starts always features the parade of apparatus making its way into the stadium. Here are some photos and video for this year’s parade of fire apparatus.

FA was on hand to record the move in:

Friday morning, an engine carrying three firefighters from the Borger Fire Department rolled over en route to a call.

Potter County Fire Rescue responded to the accident and extracted the firefighters. Two firefighters were treated on scene for minor injuries and are in good condition; the third firefighter was transported to the hospital via helicopter and is in stable condition.

“Our thoughts are with all personnel involved as well as the family, friends, and coworkers of the injured firefighters,” a Facebook post says.
