Sawmills Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department responded to a structure fire on Russell Drive this morning. Granite Falls Fire Department and Hudson Fire Department also responded along with Caldwell County EMS.

A lack of available water in the area was a factor in gaining control of the fire as the first due companies were backed out of the building due to worsening conditions.

Last night, March 5th, a semi-tractor trailer lost control and drove through an accident scene on I-39 near mile marker 6 in Hudson, IL. The semi collided with three emergency vehicles and struck/injured 6 Hudson Firefighters. One of those members succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at the hospital.

This house fire quickly becomes well involved. The story is here. There are a total of 5 videos of this fire here. The clip below is the longest of the 5.
