Of interest … Apopka Fire Department

Excerpts from Fox35orlando.com:

Firefighters in Apopka, Florida found a special way to support one of their own who is fighting in the ICU after a serious injury. Firefighter Austin Duran was seriously injured on the job Thursday when a 4,500 lb sand trailer fell on him. Fellow firefighters came up with a way to show their support for him by creating a workout dedicated to him that they can do together in his honor. 

They hope that the support helps Duran and his family during this difficult time. 

The workout uses each letter of his name for a different exercise. They posted the exercise routine on social media and saw others in the community getting inspired to do it. 

Duran’s family says while there’s still a long road to recovery, and that things are looking up. 

If you would like to help Duran on his long road to recovery, the family set up a donation page.

Still and Box Alarm fire in Chicago, 7-6-22

This from Chi-Town Fire Photos:

On Wednesday afternoon, we followed a column of smoke and came upon a well-involved 3-sty newly constructed house @ 910 N Wood, extending to 912 N Wood. This home was under construction at the time of the fire, and appeared to be receiving spray foam insulation. Engine 30 arrived and deck-gunned the front of the house, while Engine 14 backed down the alley and deck-gunned the rear. In all, six hand lines were in use with the two deck guns. Heavy fire consumed the attic space of the exposure house to the north. CFD did a great job and brought it under control quickly. Here are some shots from the fire. Full gallery is on our site.
