Common holiday fire hazards to avoid this season

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:52:46 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- The holiday season is here and many are decorating their homes and yards with lights and ornaments.Fires from Christmas trees alone cost more than $12 million in property loss in 2020, according to the National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA). How much do household fires increase with Thanksgiving cooking? The Denver Fire Department told FOX31 that risks include overloaded outlets, dangerous placement of flammable items and misuse of lighting products.“The last thing anybody wants is a Christmas fire,” Capt. J.D. Chism said.DFD said part of planning a holiday theme should include selecting safe décor.“Hopefully we’re buying things that are flame resistant, flame retardant, that doesn’t mean it’s not going burn at all, but it gives us some time if we can smell or we can notice something and move it away and be safe,” said Chism.Electricity overload can occur when using high-capacity power strips with too many sources running at the same time.“The lights over the...

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — The fragile cease-fire between Israel and Hamas was back on track Sunday as the militants freed 17 more hostages, including 14 Israelis and the first American, in a third exchange under a four-day truce that the United States said it hoped would be extended. In turn, Israel released 39 Palestinian prisoners.Most hostages were handed over directly to Israel, waving to a cheering crowd as they arrived at an air force base. Others left through Egypt. Israel's army said one was airlifted to a hospital, and the director of Soroka Medical Center said Elma Avraham, 84, was in life-threatening condition as “a result of an extended period of time when an elderly woman was not taken care of as needed.”The youngest hostage released was Abigail Edan, a 4-year-old girl and dual Israeli-American citizen whose parents were killed in the Hamas attack that started the war on Oct. 7. “What she endured was unthinkable,” U.S. President Joe Biden said of the first Americ...

Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey out vs. Chargers; WRs Odell Beckham Jr., Zay Flowers active

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:52:46 GMT

The Ravens will be without cornerback Marlon Humphrey for a second straight game.The former All-Pro and three-time Pro Bowl selection is inactive for Sunday night’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium. He hasn’t played since suffering a calf injury Nov. 12 against the Cleveland Browns.That will potentially put a strain on Baltimore’s defense, with the Chargers averaging 25.9 points per game (eighth-most in the NFL) and 248.6 yards per game passing (ninth). In 10 games this season, quarterback Justin Herbert has thrown for 2,609 yards, 19 touchdowns and five interceptions.The Ravens’ offense, however, will have its full complement of wide receivers with Odell Beckham Jr. and Zay Flowers both active. They were questionable with shoulder and hip injuries, respectively, and Beckham said Friday he would be a “game-time decision.”Having both should help somewhat ease the loss of tight end Mark Andrews, who suffered a likely season-endi...

China calls for a cease-fire in Myanmar fighting but will continue its own border drills

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:52:46 GMT

BEIJING (AP) — Beijing called for a cease-fire in Myanmar after a coalition of ethnic fighters seized several crossings along Myanmar’s border with China in the past month.However, China will continue live-firing drills on its side of the frontier aimed at “testing the mobility, border control abilities and firepower capabilities of the military units so that the People’s Liberation Army is ready for any emergency,” the army newspaper PLA Daily said on Sunday. Myanmar heavily relies on trade with China, especially for importing manufactured goods and exporting agricultural products. Unrest in Myanmar’s border region has been a constant irritant to China, which nevertheless backed the military leaders who seized power in the Southeast Asian nation in 2021 from an elected government. Yet China is highly wary of conflicts spilling over the shared border that is already rife with drug trafficking and people smuggling. Cybercrime targeting Chinese victims has become a major concern...

Australia commits another $168 million to monitoring migrants freed from indefinite detention

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — The Australian government on Monday committed an additional 255 million Australian dollars ($168 million) in funding for police and other law enforcement officials to monitor 141 migrants freed when a court ruled their indefinite detention was unconstitutional.The new funding over two years reflects an increase in the workload of law enforcement officials due to government concerns of a heightened community risk posed by those released following a landmark High Court decision on Nov. 8. That ruling said the government could no longer detain indefinitely foreigners who had been refused Australian visas, but could not be deported to their homelands and no third country would accept them.The migrants released due to the High Court ruling were mostly people with criminal records. The group also include people who failed visa character tests on other grounds and some who were challenging visas refusals through the courts. They include refugees and stateless peo...
