Police investigating 4 suspicious fires in downtown St. John's
The RNC is investigating several brush fires they believe someone purposely set in downtown St. John's Tuesday night. Emergency crews responded to four fires between 10:30 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. NT, all close to each other on Lemarchant Road and New Gower Street, according to a news release sent by the RNC. The release said investigators believe one person set all four fires. The St. John's Regional Fire Department responded quickly, and the RNC says no one was injured and nothing was damaged. The entire province is under a fire ban, as firefighting crews from both Newfoundland and Labrador and elsewhere in Canada struggle to deal with multiple wildfires that have forced hundreds to flee their communities.

DuPage County opening 24-hour crisis recovery center in Wheaton for mental health, substance use crises
The DuPage County Crisis Recovery Center is a first-of-its-kind facility offering help for people experiencing mental health or substance abuse crises in the suburbs. The center provides services for both youth and adults. County officials say the center should reduce unnecessary visits to hospital emergency departments, and reduce interactions with law enforcement that both strain public resources and are often not suited to address behavioral health crises. Instead of going to the hospital or police, family members, individuals and first responders will be able to bring patients directly to the crisis center for support and resources. The center is staffed by trained mental health and substance use professionals. Once immediate treatment is complete, the center will help patients connect to community resources for continued support. The center will be able to hold up to 42 people eat a time, and officials estimate it can help about 15,000 people each year. The staff of 160 includes psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, case managers and people who have experienced mental health issues or substance use disorder. Their services will include a youth mental health unit for patients aged 5 to 17 with family-centered services, an adult mental health unit and an adult substance use stabilization unit with 24-hour sobering care and support and medical withdrawal management. The center will open its physical doors in Wheaton to patients the week of Sept. 2. To get immediate help before it's open call 630-627-1700. If you or someone you know is in need of support, call the national Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988 to speak with someone over the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
