    2-alarm blaze rips through Brighton home, displaces 7 – The Boston Globe - May 2, 2020 by Mr HomeBuilder

    A two-alarm blaze ripped through a home in Brighton Friday morning, causing over half a million dollars in damage, injuring one firefighter, and displacing seven residents, fire officials said.

    Around 8:30 a.m., about 55 firefighters responded to a report of heavy fire erupting from 39 Snow St., according to Boston fire spokesman Brian Alkins. A second alarm was ordered when the flames began spreading to nearby homes.

    A video posted to the departments Twitter account showed 39 Snow St. engulfed in flames, smoke billowing into the sky, as firefighters worked to control the raging inferno.

    [Firefighters] had to deal with low overhead wires from street, close quarters, and the building was set back from the road, Alkins said. They did a great job under those conditions to keep the fire from spreading.

    The fire was extinguished by 9 a.m., Alkins said.

    Seven residents were displaced, officials said. One firefighter reported minor injuries, and no occupants were injured.

    The cause of the fire is under investigation, Alkins said.

    After crossed wires, Murphysboro mayor announces Murpysboro and Kinkaid lakes will not open Friday – The Southern - May 2, 2020 by Mr HomeBuilder

    I think that she wishes things would have been different, he said.

    Pleasant as the talk was, Stephens said it doesnt change anything Murphysboro and Kinkaid lakes will not be opening Friday.

    When asked what caused the confusion, Stephens said it was his understanding there were two internal IDNR lists the list with the parks to open Friday and a list of parks to open at a later date. The IDNR officials who initially said Kinkaid Lake and Lake Murphysboro would be open had referenced the wrong list.

    Stephens said he encouraged Callahan to open more parks.

    People will seek out these outdoor recreational activities and they will seek them out where they can and they will seek them out as locally as they can, Stephens said. His theory was that with more parks open, it might spread crowds out more. As it stands, though, Murphysboro residents will have to go to Giant City in Carbondale to visit a state park. At least for a while.

    VIDEO: COVID-19 patient goes home on his birthday; ‘Code Sunshine’ is the call – Call Newspapers - May 2, 2020 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Code Sunshine is a welcome birthday gift: After being admitted for COVID-19 to Mercy Hospital South on his daughters birthday, April 2, Bill finally went home last week with his wife, Lynn on his own 68th birthday. Bill, a COVID-19 patient who only wanted to provide his first name, spent three weeks at Mercy Hospital South, with a week on a ventilator and two weeks in intensive care. He was treated with convalescent plasma donated by someone recovered from COVID-19. Mercy South calls a Code Sunshine to celebrate with COVID-19 patients as they leave the hospital. After Bill left through the lobby with Lynn to cheers from workers lining the halls, some of his nurses and therapists signed his shirt with their motto Stayin Alive.

    After two weeks in intensive care and a week on a ventilator, a Mercy Hospital South patient headed home last week on his birthday, his coronavirus battle behind him. After being admitted on his daughters birthday, April 2, the patient, who only wanted to be identified by his first name Bill, left through the lobby with his wife, Lynn, to cheers from workers lining the halls on his 68th birthday April 23.

    Bill was treated with convalescent plasma donated by someone who had recovered from COVID-19. The Army veteran plans to repay that kindness by donating his own plasma when he meets the requirements.

    My donors a very special person, Bill said, choking up. He kind of saved my life in a way, the physical way, and then I had my family and my friends and all the hospital staff that has supported me mentally and physically through all this isolation.

    May I have your attention, please? Code sunshine, code sunshine.

    Mercy South 'Code Sunshine' call

    Mercy South calls a Code Sunshine to celebrate COVID-19 patients as they leave. The entire hospital hears, May I have your attention, please? Code sunshine, code sunshine. Bill said his nurses and doctors at Mercy South were extraordinary people and compared the fight they face every day to his six years in the U.S. Army.

    These people have to keep on on the battlefronts and be strong and take care of people so they can get through this also, he said. Dont give up if you get this virus, its a fight but dont ever give up. And if you do contract it, these people at this hospital and the nursing staff will absolutely take care of you.

    For birthday plans, Bill said he was going to just have some peace and quiet, be with my bride just chill out and just not have a bunch of wires on me, oxygen on me and just celebrate my birthday.

    When DWP Needed Special Masks, DIY To The Rescue – LAist - May 2, 2020 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Francisco Villalobos Casillas runs the LA DWP upholstery shop, which has been repurposed to sew hundreds of fire-resistant masks each day for workers who tend high-tension power lines. (Courtesy LA DWP)

    When your job is repairing high-tension electrical wires, state work safety laws say you need a fire-resistant mask these pandemic days. But masks made with special fabric to resist sparks are in desperately short supply.

    To outfit its workers, the L.A. Department of Water and Power got creative.

    Dave Hanson, assistant director of power, construction and maintenance for the utility, oversees some 3,000 employees who climb power poles and work on high tension wires. And it's not solitary work; there can be another person up in the cherry picker bucket.

    So when Mayor Eric Garcetti issued a citywide order that people working around others must wear face coverings, it fell to Hanson's department to find a supply.

    But where to get enough fire-resistant masks amid a national shortage?

    "A lot of our orders that we placed were being redirected and rerouted to New York," the epicenter of all the protective equipment supply shortages, Hanson said. It could take weeks to get even the first order filled.

    But then the light bulb switched on.

    "We remembered we had an upholstery shop here at Main street," he said.

    That's where Francisco Villalobos Casillas - the only upholsterer on the city payroll repairs car and truck seats.

    "When they asked me if we can produce something in-house, I thought, yeah, I just need a few things," Villalobos Casillas said. One of those was fabric.

    But Hanson said fire-resistant fabric was also in short supply. They ended up re-purposing a back-up supply of new work clothes.

    "We cut up shirts and pants and handkerchiefs that we had in hand," Hanson said.

    And now the DWP upholstery shop is turning out about 200 fire-resistant masks a day.

    Fire which killed family in Tartu started with electrical fault – ERR News - May 2, 2020 by Mr HomeBuilder

    The rescuers arrived at the scene of the fire within minutes of receiving the report, but the fire burned so fast no one could be rescued from the house, the prosecutor's office announced.

    A 27-year-old woman, a 38-year-old man and three children, aged seven, three and one, died in the fire.Initial observations at the scene, suggesting that the fire could have started from behind the refrigerators.

    The police initiated criminal proceedings to clarify the specific facts.The collected evidence and expertise revealed that the fire started from a fault in the electrical wiring behind one of the refrigerators and spread from there.

    Tatjana Tamm, the district prosecutor of the Southern District Prosecutor's Office, said unfortunately nothing will bring the victims back, but it is important for both the relatives and the public to know what led to such a serious accident.

    "Unfortunately, in the case of fires, carbon monoxide, which is very toxic, reaches people before the fire. Even now, expert reports have identified carbon monoxide poisoning as the cause of death," she said.

    No traces of smoke detectors were found at the scene and no information referring to smoke detectors was added during the criminal proceedings.

    The cause of the fire was an electrical fault in the wiring behind the refrigerator.

    "According to the expert, this fault may have been related to the extension cord socket, but why and how exactly this fault occurred is unfortunately unclear, because that is where the fire started and the equipment and the wires were very damaged, "said Tamm, adding that attention must be paid to fire safety in all homes.

    Arvi Uustalu, the head of the prevention office of the Southern Rescue Center, said that regardless of the causes of the accident, a working and properly installed smoke detector would, in any case, have given an early warning of the fire and most likely saved lives.

    The criminal proceedings were conducted by the Southern Prefecture under the leadership of the Southern District Prosecutor's Office.The examinations were performed by the Estonian Forensic Institute.

    Eight tips to improve your home working space – Hereford Times - May 2, 2020 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Working from home may have its benefits - but staying in the same place each day can gettiresome after a while.

    If youre looking for inspiration to brighten up your home office or improve your workspace environment, here are some tips.

    Find a comfy chair

    If you have a comfortable chair you can use as your work chair, this will make a big difference if youre sitting at a desk or table all day.

    Make sure the height, arm rest and comfort level suits your needs and youll find youre comfier and have fewer aches and pains at the end of the day.

    Clean up your mess

    A clean and tidy working environment can make the world of difference.

    Making sure your desk or table is free of clutter so that you have space to work, and that its clean and tidy can leave your feeling calmer and more productive.

    Tidy your wires away

    If you have a lot of electrical equipment at your desk, wires might be getting in the way.

    Managing them with clamps and zip ties can help keep your work space neat and tidy.

    Plants

    Adding plants can also make a positive difference. Green or colourful plants add colour to your home office, boost your mood and reduce stress.

    They can also help to increase productivity levels too. Picking a plant that is easy to maintain could be a good option.

    Natural lighting

    If possible, choose a place for your workspace environment that has natural lighting. This can be beneficial to your mood and increase productivity.

    Being near a window while working can also up your Vitamin D levels, which helps regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body, and these nutrients are needed to keep muscle, teeth and bones healthy.

    Separate work computer

    Your brain usually associates your work computer with work, so it usually helps to improve productivity if you have a separate work computer.

    If not, make sure any personal documents or tabs are shut when at work so as not to get distracted.

    Separate work and living areas

    If its possible to do so, your workspace should be in a room or space as far away as possible from the place where you sleep if you want to increase your productivity.

    Your brain tends to associate certain spaces with certain tasks, which is why its important to keep your work and living areas physically separate if you can.

    Try to keep to office hours

    Although it can be difficult then working from home, try to stick to your usual office hours rather than working overtime or unusual shifts.

    Working for a set period of time each day helps give routine and structure to your day.

    When youre finished work, close your laptop and put away your things to revert your home to a comfy living space.

    ‘We are in baby season’: Dealing with wildlife nesting in homes during COVID – The Weather Network - May 2, 2020 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Thursday, April 30th 2020, 11:36 am - With more people staying at home due to the pandemic they are paying more attention to wildlife in and around their homes. Of course, springtime also means baby time.

    Springtime is baby time and animals are on the lookout for places to start their families and that includes our homes.

    Every home in North America typically has anywhere from 35 to 50 areas on one particular home that animals can get into, said Bill Dowd, the president, CEO and founder of Skedaddle Humane Wildlife Control.

    That includes chimneys, vents, downspouts, soffit vents and any other cracks.

    Homeowners should always be looking at their home. Everybody kind of thinks that the roof is up there, it's out of sight, it's out of mind but it's your most important part of your entire home. Raccoons, squirrels, birds, bats and mice and rats can gain access into your attic from the roof, said Dowd.

    Raccoons are the first babies seen in the season. They arrive around mid-march and continue into the end of June, sometimes July.

    Then we'll see squirrels which will typically arrive towards the end of March, start of April. We'll see them, same thing, all the way through till June, said Dowd. He says they even saw their first baby skunks. They will continue to be born until June and July.

    Baby birds typically arrive around mid-may and continue through the entire summer into The Fall season.

    Go here for our complete coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic

    Dowd says with more people staying home during the pandemic, they are probably more aware of the wildlife in and around their homes.

    We're all being safe. as we're being safe we're noticing that scratching or clawing in the walls are in the attic and rather than homeowners waiting, they're picking up the phone immediately and calling, said Dowd.

    Homeowners should be inspecting their properties for points of entry.

    Go outside. Take a look on the roof. Look for missing shingles that are torn off or ripped apart. Soffit or aluminum being torn to indicate something is in the Attic, said Dowd. When you're talking mice and rats they can get in small little weep vents that are vents that allow proper drainage and ventilation of your home that need to be secured with a screening.

    Be aware of garages too.

    Anytime the soffit comes in and meets the shingles that's another common entry area. Garages that are left open that have joist spaces allow the animals to go in and get into the attic space, he said. The dryer or the kitchen stove. We get birds, mice, rats, squirrels go in through those.

    SEE ALSO: 24 cats rescued from hot car near Los Angeles

    If cars are sitting vacant, especially because we're not working and they're sitting in their garage or the driveway, squirrels and mice or rats will get into the cars. They'll actually chew the wiring in the cars coated with a vegetable biodegradable coating, which is actually attractive for those animals and they'll actually chew the electrical wiring so the cars won't start, said Dowd.

    He suggests starting the car every few days and taking it for a drive around the block. That will prevent animals from gaining hold of nesting and engine compartments.

    Dowd and his teams dont relocate the animals. They specialize in animal-proofing peoples homes.

    Typically there's anywhere from 35 to 55 raccoons in a square kilometre. They're going to be always around and they're always going to want to come back and get into that home so the most important part. Animal proofing, us installing our screen or fixing it so they can't get back in, he said.

    The key is to learn to live among the animals.

    All urban wildlife typically have anywhere from 7 to 10 den sites in a neighbourhood so that's where they're staying. They're here.We're never going to get rid of them and homeowners need to recognize this and animal proof their home.
