Our FDNY members are working to find people trapped in the Brooklyn collapse. It’s highly technical and dangerous work — and it’s exactly what fire fighters train for.

My prayers are with those who died, everyone hospitalized and the families awaiting word on a loved one.

A lithium-ion battery erupted into a ball of flames inside an Oregon home last Thursday. The blaze tore through the home in seconds, after two other nearby e-bikes or scooters also caught fire, firefighters said.

All six people inside safely evacuated.

Lithium-ion battery-related fires have increased by 10% every year — and have caused nearly 200,000 structure fires in the last 15 years.

Lakewood Police Agent Shot and Killed in the Line of Duty

11/5/26

At approximately 6:30 pm on the evening of November 5, 2026, Lakewood Police responded to a call of a suspicious person near the intersection of West Colfax Ave. and Wadsworth Blvd. A suspect from an earlier
hit and run incident was spotted boarding an RTD bus heading northbound.

Lakewood agents came in contact with the suspect on the bus, when the suspect began firing at agents. Lakewood agents fired back, killing the suspect. The
suspect's name is not being released at this time. A bystander was also injured in the incident. The extent of their injuries are unknown.

Four Lakewood agents were shot during the incident and taken to local hospitals, suffering from serious to critical injuries. Three of our agents are in stable condition. Our hearts are with them and their families as they work towards healing and recovery.

The Lakewood Police Department is devastated to announce that one of our agents has died as a result of their injuries. Words cannot express the profound sorrow our department and community feel tonight over the loss of our fallen hero, who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to Lakewood. Our hearts are heavy, and we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with their loved ones, lifting them up in unwavering support, love, and prayer during this unimaginable time. We are not releasing our agent's name at this time.

The First Judicial District Critical Incident Response Team will be investigating this case as per protocol.

The Lakewood Police Department wants to thank all of the first responders who raced to aid our downed agents and community members. We would also like to thank our community for the support they have already shown our Lakewood Police family.

We will give further updates tomorrow after we have reviewed the tremendous amount of incoming information.

Please note that this information is preliminary and subject to verification.
