Firefighters respond to forklift fire at northeast Lincoln recycling facility
Lincoln Fire and Rescue responded to a fire at a northeast Lincoln recycling facility for the third time this year, but this time it was to put out a forklift fire. Crews were called out to Firstar Fiber near 48th and Superior Streets just after 2 p.m. Tuesday. LFR said crews were able to contain the forklift fire. The structure was not damaged and no injuries were reported. LFR said the fire caused an estimated $2,000 in damage to the forklift, which is repairable. This is the third fire at Firstar Fiber this year, according to LFR. On Feb. 13, a cardboard compactor worth $500,000 to $1 million was destroyed in a fire. LFR spokeswoman MJ Lierman said that fire crews have gotten used the building’s layout and can quickly handle fires there.

Adams County and Hastings Fire agree on deal for ambulance services
Adams County and the city of Hastings may have an agreement on ambulance services, and it’s a deal both the city and county are happy with. According to Hastings City Council documents, the deal will take effect on July 1, then it will run for five years ending in June of 2029. This means that the city will continue to provide ambulance services to all the outlying cities, towns, and villages in the county, and Hastings Fire Chief Brad Starling said he’s happy to have a long term deal in place. “We’re excited to have a contract that’s gonna last for a few years and be sustainable so that we can focus on other areas of providing EMS service and continue to do a good job for both the city and the county and not have to worry about contract negotiations in the meantime,” Starling said.

Grand Island Fire Department tests candidates’ fitness
VIDEO: Each year, those who aspire to be a firefighter must pass a series of tests; physical, mental and interview processes. This year, Grand Island Fire Department is putting 37 individuals to the test to fill five openings. Grand Island Fire Chief Cory Schmidt said once they get through the written and physical test, the field of candidates is nearly cut in half. Candidates wore a 50-pound weight vest, an additional 25-pound vest for the stair climb exercise and had to complete a course in 10 minutes and 20 seconds. Schmidt anticipates that out of the field of 37 candidates, there’ll only be around five or 10 quality applicants after the physical and written test. Even with that said, he’s happy with the turnout, and cold weather exemplifies what firefighters go through in the field.
