The annual telethon raising money for agencies, hospitals, and schools that improve the lives of children with special needs returns for its 73rd year this Saturday and Sunday.

WHAS Crusade for Children has raised more than $222 million. Remarkably, 100% of those donations stay in Kentucky and Southern Indiana, where they are distributed as grants to hospitals, schools, and agencies. These funds support children with identified health care, educational, and emotional wellness needs, helping them live healthier, fuller lives.

As always, the Louisville Fire Department will be proudly collecting donations on behalf of the Crusade, continuing its long-standing tradition of service and support for children and families throughout the community.

The Louisville Fire Department responded to a structure fire early Tuesday morning in the 1000 block of Beecher Street.

Fire crews were dispatched at approximately 3:47 a.m. and arrived on scene by 3:51 a.m., where they encountered heavy fire conditions visible from the front porch of a residential structure.

Firefighters quickly initiated an aggressive interior attack, deploying two 1.75-inch handlines to bring the blaze under control. The fire was successfully contained within approximately 8 minutes, with control declared at 3:59 a.m

A total of 24 firefighters, supported by 4 engines, 2 trucks, and 1 battalion chief, responded to the incident.

The structure was identified as a vacant residential building, and no occupants were displaced. Fire crews conducted both primary and secondary searches, which confirmed that no victims were inside. No injuries were reported among civilians or firefighters.
