Tennessee County Emergency Responders Earn Star of Life Award

Members of Maury County’s emergency services have been recognized by a state-wide organization for saving the life of a motorcycle rider earlier this year. For their quick response and excellent work under extreme pressure, the team of local responders have received the prestigious Star of Life Award from the Children’s Emergency Care Alliance. “This is for a call when someone goes beyond to save a life, and typically it has a positive outcome,” said Jeff Hardy, the director of Maury County Emergency Management, who also responded to the call.

An electrical substation fire in Puerto Rico has knocked out power to 400,000 throughout the island

A fire at an electrical substation in Puerto Rico has knocked out power to hundreds of thousands throughout the island, utility company LUMA Energy said Thursday. "The fire caused major blackouts across the entire island. The situation is under assessment and work is being done to restore the system," LUMA Energy tweeted, stating that restoration efforts will continue overnight. About 400,000 customers in Puerto Rico were without power as of late Thursday, LUMA Energy said, which is more than 1 in 10 residents on the island. The fire broke out in a transformer at LUMA's Monacillos substation, the company said. Personnel from the Puerto Rico Police, Fire Department and Medical Emergencies are at the scene and no injuries have been reported.
