Powerline falls on firetruck at Alton house fire, couple escapes unscathed
VIDEO: A husband and wife escaped a massive house fire in the Metro East Monday morning. Firefighters in Alton were called out around 4 a.m. to the intersection of Donald and Main in response to a house fire Monday. When crews got there, the back of the home and a detached garage were fully engulfed in flames. “I’m sorry about the house, but that can be replaced,” Jody Price, the homeowner’s brother, told First Alert 4. “People can’t.” Fire crews told First Alert 4 that a powerline connected to the house detached and fell on a fire truck across the street. Ameren crews were on the scene turning off power and removing the detached line. The fire truck was not damaged. The homeowner told First Alert 4 that two people walking by witnessed the flames and began banging on the windows and doors of the home to wake up those inside.

‘Multiple explosions’ destroy West Peoria home
VIDEO/PHOTO: Apparent explosions destroyed a West Peoria home early Sunday morning, but the fire chief said an exact cause can’t be determined because crews had to demolish the home for safety reasons. West Peoria Fire Chief Terry Schadt said firefighters were called about 4:45 a.m. after a resident and neighbor reported “multiple explosions” from the home in the 2100 block of Martin Luther King Drive. The chief said he saw the home fully involved in flames when he arrived. He said two family members and a guest made it out safely, according to Schadt. Schadt is listing the fire as accidental but said investigators can’t be sure of an exact cause because the building had to be torn down immediately to prevent a further collapse.

First responders practicing in an in-depth active shooter training at Dunlap High School
VIDEO: Shots rang out in the halls of Dunlap High School on Friday but it was just for training first responders in the event there was an active shooter. The training has been in the works for months, and it hasn’t been done since the early 2000s. However, it comes just days after a Dunlap Valley Middle School student brought a loaded gun to school to show his friends. The Peoria County Sheriff’s Office, Dunlap Fire Department, Advanced Medical Transport and several surrounding agencies got the chance to practice what a real active shooter situation would be like, without it being real. Police entered the building and located and eliminated the threat, all while being “shot” at to learn from their mistakes. The training allowed police to make mistakes and learn from them.

More details released about Mansfield home explosion that prompted school lockdown
VIDEO: We are learning more about an explosion in Mansfield that prompted a school to go on lockdown Thursday. It happened just a few blocks away from Blue Ridge Junior High in Mansfield. The Farmer City Police Department School Resource Officer assisted the Piatt County Sheriff's Department, Mansfield Police Department, and Mansfield Fire Department with traffic control for a fire that was happening several blocks from the Blue Ridge Intermediate and Junior High School. Fire crews were called out just after 2 p.m. for reports of a possible explosion and fire. Mansfield Police told WAND News the fire department is investigating, but they believe the explosion was caused by some type of vapor. Police added that the house was vacant with the previous homeowner having moved out several months ago.
