20231006 Friday The Night Shift

A small fire inside a warehouse in Riverside starts out our shift.

The fire is caused by a battery inside a big connex box.  Riverside has to call upon Kansas City’s airboat to help ventilate the huge warehouse.  This is the second time in about a week I have seen them have to do this.
We respond to another fire at around 28th and Van Brunt in Kansas City, Missouri.

The weather is noticeably cooler this morning and our live shots are all about how to protect your plants.

I do Friday brekkus at Town Topic on Baltimore.

Mmmmmm- the haystack!

Cawfee… You know?  Diner coffee is usually pretty bad.  This, however is some of the best joe in town.  The fact that they grind it fresh helps!

Yes, I am bad this morning.

Town Topic is in the news recently…

We are sassified!

Here are some videos from the livestream….

20230929 Friday The Night Shift

A bad chemical smell causes a warehouse to be evacuated in the Northeast Bottoms of Kansas City, Missouri.

What is interesting is the use of a rescue airboat by the Kansas City, Missouri Fire department to try to ventilate the large building.

We are live, yet again at the General Motors Fairfax plant.  Yet again I lament on the middle-of-nowhere nature of this liveshot when it comes to public facilities.  GM Fairfax has become a lonely place since the plant has been closed down due to the strike.
