🚨🚨2-ALARM FIRE Tucson Fire was dispatched to a call of fire nature unknown at 3:37 this afternoon in the 3100 block of East 22nd Street. Engine 3 arrived six minutes later and reported smoke coming from the back door on and eaves of an abandoned AM/PM. A full alarm was called, and crews started to search for the source of the fire. As seen in this video, there was a significant fire event. The roof collapsed, and operations shifted to a defensive mode. At this time, crews are unable to enter the building to extinguish remaining hot spots, and excavators will be used to tear it down. Firefighters were on the roof when it collapsed, but they were uninjured, as was the individual seen in the video. This video highlights the dangers our crews face every time they battle a fire, and we are thankful that everyone is safe. The fire was caused by homeless activity.

One person is dead after a fire broke out at a three-storey mixed-use building near 132 Avenue and 82 Street in northeast Edmonton last night. Fire crews were called to the scene at 9:19 p.m., with the building housing businesses on the ground floor and apartments on the two floors above. The entire building was evacuated and 11 fire crews responded, with between eight and 10 ambulances also dispatched to the scene. It has not yet been confirmed how many people were injured, and the cause of the fire remains under investigation. Edmonton Police Service closed 82 Street in both directions between 137 Avenue and Yellowhead Trail to allow emergency crews to respond, citing “a collision and fire” in the area without providing further details. Our followers stated that they heard an explosion prior to the fire.

Just before 12:30 Monday afternoon, the FDNY responded to a 4-alarm fire at 44-49 College Point Boulevard in Queens. Tragically, four people lost their lives in this fire. Two other victims were transported to area hospitals in critical condition. During operations, a stairwell collapsed, trapping two of our members. They were transported to area hospitals in stable condition. More than 230 firefighters and EMS personnel responded. “This is a difficult and tragic day. There were several victims in this fire. The Fire Department did an extraordinary job under difficult circumstances, putting this fire out and saving people. I can't thank them enough for their continued efforts and commitment to life safety,” said Fire Commissioner Lillian Bonsignore. “Upon arrival, we had heavy fire on all three floors of this building. There was a victim trapped on the second floor, which our members removed with a portable ladder. As our engine companies were moving in from the first floor and up the stairs to the second floor, the stairs collapsed, and those two members were trapped in the stairs. With additional help, we were able to extricate those members. As all that is happening, other members are performing CPR on the victims in the street,” said Chief of Fire Operations Kevin Woods. The fire was placed under control just before 2:45 p.m. FDNY Fire Marshals are working to determine the cause of the fire.

In Idaho, a sniper set a trap for firefighters: he started a wildfire, then opened fire on the first responders On the afternoon of June 29, firefighters in Kootenai County received a report of a wildfire near Canfield Mountain, north of Coeur d’Alene. Around 1:30 p.m., crews arrived at the scene — but just half an hour later, local police were alerted to gunfire. When officers arrived, they found the bodies of two firefighters with gunshot wounds. Another was critically injured. The rescuers had walked into an ambush — the attacker, a man, deliberately set the forest on fire and then opened fire on the first responders. According to local media, a shootout with the suspect lasted several hours. Once the gunfire stopped, the shooter’s body was found in the woods. A rifle was discovered nearby. Meanwhile, the wildfire spread further. Authorities have urged residents to stay alert — due to the delay, the fire has not yet been contained. The third firefighter was taken to the hospital and has undergone surgery.

🔥 Fire at a luxury hotel in Courchevel — around 300 people evacuated A fire broke out Tuesday evening at the five-star Hotel des Grandes Alpes in one of France’s most expensive resorts. By Wednesday morning, firefighters had brought the blaze under control. No injuries have been reported, and authorities are investigating the cause. About 90 people were evacuated from the hotel, while nearly 200 guests were moved from the nearby Le Lana. All tourists and staff were temporarily relocated to other hotels in Courchevel. Notably, a high-profile party with celebrities and socialites — including Ksenia Sobchak — had taken place at the resort shortly before. The event was heavily criticized online afterward. Socialite Curse.

Just got sick when I realized that there was a massive fire set early this morning (Jan 7th) in DTLA at Hope & Pico which occurred at approximately the SAME TIME as the Palisades fire. Strangely, this is directly adjacent to where another huge fire occurred the day after Christmas (1.5 weeks prior) at the famous Morrison Hotel. I imagine most people were too busy celebrating Christmas to even hear about it. Attached here is an exclusive video of the DTLA Morrison Hotel fire, an exclusive photo showing the damage from both fires (Hope/Pico damage circled in red) and news articles about both. Hard Questions: Did the same entity start BOTH fires to divert resources so they couldn’t effectively combat the Palisades Fire before it became catastrophic? CBS said over a hundred firefighters were busy battling the DTLA fire this morning. Was the fire on the same DTLA block 1.5 weeks ago the “test” fire for the one set this morning? Oh and apparently someone has been trying to develop that entire Hope block where the fires occurred for years but that would be extremely difficult to get approved due to the historic buildings. It’s giving Maui Fire land grab vibes imo. Coincidence? Or Occam’s Razor? Hope Morrison Hotel fire 12/26/24: Hope/ Pico Fire 01/07/25 am: Bill Melugin James Woods Kevin Kiley Rob Schneider 🇺🇸

A statement from the Kirkuk International Airport Administration "At 11:30 p.m., three rockets of unknown origin landed, two on the military side and one on the civilian side, causing a fire in the grass near the gate on the military side. The fire was extinguished by the heroes of the Kirkuk International Airport Fire Department. One person was slightly injured as a result of the attack, and there was no damage to the runway. Not all airport facilities were affected. Thankfully, the heroic Kirkuk Operations Command and units present around the airport responded quickly. They are located throughout the airport area, and there is no danger. The event will not affect the flight schedule." #Kirkuk_Airport_Administration

#uwcnf #BuckBasinFire on the Heber-Kamas Ranger District grew to approximately 230 acres yesterday. Fire is burning in heavy dead standing fuels in mixed conifer and aspen stands. Resources made some good progess on building an initial anchor point to build off of for future shifts. Air support helped with bucket drops until weather picked up and were unable to continue in the afternoon. The fire is located in Buck Basin 4 to 5 miles northwest of the Currant Creek Reservoir. Red Creek Mountain Road FS080 and Low Pass Road FS106 are closed to the public at this time. Resources on scene: two engines, two Type 2 crews, two Type 1 helicopters, scoopers, water tender and a grader will be assisting the operations today. The cause of the fire has been determined as lightning. Crews were in the area today working on the northern section of the fire. At this time, there are no reported threats to structures or communities. Smoke is visible from Highway 35 and 40 and surrounding area please do not report.

🚨🇺🇸 FAST-MOVING WILDFIRE NORTH OF LA FORCES EVACUATIONS Mandatory evacuation orders have been issued for a wildfire that has already burned 500 acres near Castaic in Los Angeles County. The blaze, called the Hughes Fire, was first reported just before 11 a.m. near Lake Hughes Road and Castaic Lake, according to Cal Fire and Angeles National Forest officials. The fire is spreading quickly due to strong Santa Ana winds and extremely low humidity, with the area under a Red Flag Warning. Fred Fielding of the LA County Fire Department: “This time of year is especially dangerous. It’s been almost 300 days since we’ve had any significant rainfall.” This comes after devastating wildfires earlier this month left 28 people dead and destroyed homes, schools, and churches across Los Angeles County. Angeles National Forest, where the fire started, is closed to the public until Jan. 24 for safety reasons. Sources: Cal Fire, CBS

🔥 Massive warehouse fire in Rostov raged for 24 hours — filled the city with thick black smoke It wasn’t until the morning of July 9 that firefighters fully extinguished a major warehouse blaze in Rostov-on-Don. For an entire day, the city was engulfed in dense black smoke — with residents unwillingly breathing it in. The fire was so intense that the Emergency Ministry had to deploy firefighting helicopters. Water was scooped directly from public swimming areas, where Rostov locals were cooling off at the time. The blaze broke out on Orskaya Street and quickly spread over 15,000 square meters, consuming the warehouse and an adjacent office building, according to local emergency services. Initially, the fire covered about 2,200 m², but due to the dense storage inside, it spiraled out of control within hours. What exactly was burning remains unclear. Officially, the site was used to store household appliances — but many locals are skeptical of that explanation. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. Authorities report no injuries.

🚨🇭🇰 HONG KONG HIGH-RISE INFERNO: FOUR DEAD, FIREFIGHTERS STILL BATTLING THE BLAZE A towering firestorm ripped through a housing estate in Hong Kong today - a blaze so aggressive it jumped between multiple high-rise towers, choked the skyline with black smoke, and killed at least four people, including one firefighter. This was not a small incident. This was a vertical disaster in one of the densest cities on Earth. Reports say residents were trapped inside units as flames climbed scaffolding - the bamboo kind Hong Kong still uses during renovations, which becomes a giant fuse when conditions are dry. And Hong Kong has been sitting under a red fire danger warning for days. Perfect storm. Injury count so far: 3, 2 in critical condition. Alarm level escalation: from No. 1 to No. 4 in under 45 minutes - the 2nd-highest emergency classification the city has. Firefighters fought through the afternoon and were still at it after dark. Buses rerouted. Roads shut. Residents evacuated under falling ash. The deeper problem? Hong Kong’s aging residential blocks + renovation scaffolding + extreme dry conditions = a structural risk nobody is comfortable talking about until something like this happens. Source: NBC News

#mountainfire update; The fire is currently at 20,596 acres with 7% containment. There are currently 2,420 personnel on scene, including 378 engines, 20 Water Tenders, 34 Hand Crews, 17 Dozers and 14 helicopters. VCFD is in unified command with CAL FIRE Incident Management Team 5 and we are incredibly grateful for the support of our mutual aid partners. Damage assessment teams are in process of identifying and verifying the number of structures that have been impacted. Our thoughts are with all of members of our local Ventura County community through this devastating incident. The fire is burning in steep, rugged terrain with dry and receptive fuels that continue to challenge containment efforts. Fire activity has decreased due to a decrease in winds over the area. A large animal evacuation center has been established at the Earl Warren Showgrounds in Santa Barbara. A public information hotline has been established. Affected residents can call 805-465-6650 for assistance. Evacuation orders remain in place. Residents are encouraged to visit for the most current evacuation information. An evacuation center has been setup at Padre Serra Parrish at 5205 Upland Rd in Camarillo.

🚨BEE SWARM Tucson Fire was dispatched to an allergic reaction near Grant and Swan at 11:42 this afternoon. When Brush Tender 7 arrived four minutes later they found bees swarming a mobile home in the area. They also found two people in a mobile home, being actively stung by bees. Crews were able to spray foam on the bees and get the two people out of the home. They were transported to a local hospital. A full medical alarm, three medic and three suppression trucks, a battalion chief and an EMS captain and a battalion chief, were dispatched as a precaution. An exterminator was called to the scene; he neutralised the bees. A firefighter was also stung a couple of times and is okay.
