VIDEOS/PHOTOS: A fire broke out Wednesday afternoon in the area of Harold C. Giss Parkway and Main Street. According to the Yuma Fire Department, the fire started shortly after 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon with two structures fully engulfed in flames. "The Yuma Fire Department was dispatched the 400 block of Main Street for a structure fire when they arrived on scene they found two structures you know actively burning fully involved upon their arrival," said David Padilla from the Yuma Fire Department. One structure fire was stopped fairly early while the other is still active with both structures suffering severe damage. The Southern Pacific Freight Depot building manager was able to describe his frustrations.

Maricopa County officials plan to help the Gila Bend Fire Department, according to a Monday announcement. That help will come in the form of $132,434 in funds, which will be used to purchase new medical and safety equipment. The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors approved the funding two weeks ago, officials said. One of the board members, Steve Gallardo, said he found out the department needed the extra hand while having lunch with Gila Bend Fire Chief Arelia Henry. "I found out that the Gila Bend Fire Department was in need of some additional supplies to better serve residents," Gallardo said in a statement. "It is a privilege to help them source high-quality equipment to protect their community members and save lives." The funding will be allocated by Gallardo through Dec. 31, officials said.

The Golder Ranch firefighters do more than put out flames. On Friday, March 29, they will be working to stamp out hunger in both Pima and Pinal counties. Between 8:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. they will be stationed outside Walmart at 2150 Tangerine Road, Oro Valley, to collect donations of non-perishable food for IMPACT, a local food bank. Their goal is to collect 5,000 items, which is expected to last about two months. "Individuals can drive up; we are set up in a loading zone area," said Tina Bommarito, the development coordinator of Impact of Southern Arizona. "You drive into that area and the firefighters will get (your) donations from the trunk of your car and we will provide donors with a little ‘thank you' and a donation sticker. Then we will process all that food at the food bank and redistribute it out into the community."

A man was freed from a drainage well in Chandler Wednesday afternoon, two days after becoming trapped. Chandler Fire crews responded to a rescue call near Arizona Avenue and Pecos Road shortly after 2 p.m. and found a man trapped inside the well. He was not hurt and told rescuers that he had been in the well for about two days. Fire officials believe he went into the well voluntarily and became trapped when it was "inadvertently covered." Once crews removed the drainage hole cover, he was able to climb out on his own. He was checked by medics and is now in Chandler police custody. Investigators are now trying to determine why the man entered the drainage well earlier this week. The incident happened in the same area as another well rescue earlier this month.

PHOTOS: Massive flames could be seen shooting from an abandoned Cleveland church early Thursday morning. The building was fully engulfed as SkyFOX was over the scene shortly before 7:30 a.m. The church, located near the corner of E. 91st Street and Miles Park, has been identified as the former Pentecostal Determine Church of God. According to the Cuyahoga County Auditor's website, the church was built in 1872. Fire officials said the building is vacant and no injuries were reported. Fire officials also said the building is four stories tall and there was concern walls could collapse. Fire crews battled the blaze from the outside and said they would only enter the building if they believed someone was inside. Officials noted the roof of the church had previously collapsed before the fire started, and there was other prior structural damage to the building as well.

A fake firefighter with a garden hose refused to leave the scene of a deadly blaze in North Carolina, officials told news outlets. Early March 27, the Morganton Department of Public Safety said its crews were called to the fire and spotted a 37-year-old man wearing a New York City Fire Department outfit. "When firefighters first arrived, a neighbor was on-scene, dressed in FDNY turnout gear and attempting to put out the fire with a garden hose," police wrote in a news release. "Morganton firefighters began to take over suppression efforts; however, the male refused to vacate the property." The neighbor also is accused of interfering as crews tried to start battling the fire, which had "fully engulfed" the home. He was taken into custody "after multiple commands," according to the public safety department.

VIDEO: This week the United Soybean Board announced the first and only soybased fire suppressant had been certified safe for sale. But what do firefighters think about the new product? Firefighters from across the U.S. participated in a fire demonstration at the Dalton, Georgia, fire department looking at the effectiveness of Soyfoam. A Farm to Fire demo allowed firefighters to see first-hand how it performed with different types of fires at 1% and 3% concentrations. That included farmer and firefighter Jeff King of Coryden, Kentucky. "I was impressed with this. The knockdown, ability to knock down the fire. We weren't' able to relight it which was very impressive." South Dakota farmer and Roscoe firefighter Andy Weisser also tested the product and is excited that it's less corrosive than conventional foams.

PHOTOS: When there's a problem to solve, you can count on first responders to come to the rescue. So when two Fishers firefighters saw some old fire hose on the bay floor, set to travel to a landfill, they put their helmets together to come up with a creative solution. Rob Demlow has been fighting fires in his Fishers community for 19 years. "The first airway that I held open, it was almost like, I knew where I was supposed to be," said Demlow. "It was almost like a God moment." His passion for serving his community is on display each time an alarm sounds when he is on duty. "My job and my place was kind of set at that point," Demlow said. For his longtime friend and firefighting brother, Scott Carr, being a firefighter was in his blood. He has served his Fishers neighbors with pride for the past 24 years.
