Firefighters Battle Elements During Apartment Blaze

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Winston-Salem firefighters had to battle the hot weather as they worked to control a fire Tuesday morning that broke out at the Glendare Park Apartments on Glendare Drive at about 3:30 a.m.

Winston-Salem Fire Chief Freddie Broome told WXII 12 that eight families were displaced by the fire. Broom said all of their apartment units were completely destroyed.

One person was taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation, but no other injuries were reported.

Broome said it took about 3 hours get the fire under control, and firefighters were still working on hot-spots by 7:30 a.m. Tuesday.

Although temperatures during the predawn hours weren't as warm as what they are expected to reach later Tuesday, fighting the fire meant EMS crews kept a close watch on firefighters.

"We work well together. We have a relationship where when we have a fire like this we call (EMS) out. They bring out the mobile support unit and when our guys are coming out, we assign them to rehab, and that's when they get hydrated," Broome said.

Officials have not said what sparked the fire.

. There are rants commonly heard from adults as it relates to our youth of today. Yet we live in a society that insists upon manufacturing children’s gadgets and toys that simulate adult activities. Even children’s programming is laced with suggestive language and adult humor. Listen, there’s nothing wrong with our children. It’s the adults who’ve gone stark raving mad.

Just when I thought I had seen and heard about everything; a worldly and enlightened woman not to be easily caught off guard or surprised – last night’s WXII 12 ABC News threw me a curve ball that made my eyes pop and my skin crawl. Coming soon to a store near you – The Breast Milk Baby Doll! A Spain based toy that teaches our little girls about nursing!

Trust me..I’m no prude or Miss Manners, but am I the only one who thinks this is just wrong, wrong, WRONG?! Although the concept does not involve actual breast milk there’s just no way I would want to introduce my young daughter to the halter like bib containing magnetic sensors that when detected by the companion sensors in the doll, induces the baby to suckle. Why in the world would I? Mothers have been getting this breastfeeding thing right for thousands of years without the benefit of a childhood dress rehearsal. Yes, breastfeeding is one of the most natural things in the world. So is childbirth and sex. Are we going to give them a dress rehearsal for that next?

Have to et ready to leave @ 12 for the powerhouse, exicted that WXII news is coming.
