Jacksonville Journal-Courier, Ill.
Sept. 03--South Jacksonville firefighters want to reunite a kitten rescued from a storm sewer and its owner.
Firefighters were called about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday after a resident reported hearing what sounded like cries from an animal trapped in the storm sewer in the 2200 block of Magnolia Drive.
Firefighters pulled off manhole covers around the location to find the animal, which turned out to be a kitten.

When Safety Shortcuts Backfire
Firefighter Safety - Fri, 09/03/2010 - 12:31pm
A story that came across the wires the other day caught my eye.
It seems that a relatively routine auto fire in Friday Harbor, WA turned into a major event in which the chief of the department was suspended after some of the department's members sent a letter of no confidence to the town administrators, and then abruptly resigned. The primary reason? The chief allowed safety shortcuts to exist in the department.

Sept. 02--As Hurricane Earl makes its approach, the greatest concern is public safety both during and after the storm.

Kitsap Sun, Bremerton, Wash.
Sept. 01--BELFAIR -- Backed by the Mason County Fire Marshal, firefighters in Belfair are currently removing about 50 locks from fire hydrants.
The locks were installed about a month ago by the Belfair Water District as a way to curb water theft. But crews with Belfair-based Mason County Fire District 2 -- who've had to cut the locks in responding to recent fire -- felt that they were a serious safety hazard.

Rescue teams pulled off a tricky and dangerous rescue. But after they saved a man from a grain silo, he disappeared.
