Evacuation ordered were issued in Chino Hills on Wednesday evening after a vegetation fire ignited near Grand Avenue Park around 7 p.m. An hour later, the blaze had burned 30 acres, prompting officials to urge residents living on Mill Stream Drive, Falling Star Lane, Valley View Lane and Sweet Grass Lane to leave their homes immediately.
Three days after arriving, she said she felt her water break weeks before she was expected to give birth. McElroy, who was being held on charges stemming from an allegation of substance use during pregnancy, later discovered she had suffered a pregnancy complication that could have progressed into sepsis. According to the lawsuit, she informed a guard that her water had broken and believed she would be taken to a hospital for treatment. Instead, the complaint states that another guard who checked on her later that morning accused her of wetting herself and instructed her to return to her cell.
The 2,000 HSE ambulance service workers will begin a 24-hour work stoppage over pay from 8am on Tuesday.

The fire broke out at approximately 8:30 a.m. at the rear of a facility operated by NorthC Datacenters, a Dutch colocation provider that runs 25 data centres across the Netherlands, Germany, and Switzerland. All personnel were evacuated safely and no injuries were reported, but the cascade of disruptions that followed a single building fire exposed the physical fragility that sits beneath the digital infrastructure the Netherlands is spending billions to expand.
We know there were at least three tornadoes, said Daniel Lamb, a meteorologist in the National Weather Service office in Jackson. The same storm produced at least two tornadoes from Franklin, Lincoln into Lawrence counties, and then there was another one from Lamar possibly into Forest County. He said there may have been more. Those are just the ones that we are able to confirm by radar before even having gone down there.
Typically, we'll be applying suppression five minutes before something like a traditional sprinkler head would pop, because it takes some time for the heat to accumulate at that sprinkler head. Because we're highly concentrated, we're able to use about 88% less water, typically, to put this fire out-which means they can get back to work quicker, with less cleanup, less damage from the fire, and less damage from water.
Your first priority should be guaranteeing everyone's safety and checking for injuries. Begin by calmly performing an injury assessment on yourself and others involved. Look for obvious signs like bleeding, difficulty breathing, or unconsciousness.
