Kansas City, Kansas Fire Department urges caution during dry conditions
The fire department wants everyone to be sure to properly dispose of smoking materials and not throw them out of vehicle windows into grass or other dry areas. Carelessly discarded smoking materials can easily start a fire in dry vegetation leading to dangerous fires.

No fines issued for dog fouling in 14 local authority areas last year
Fourteen of the 31 local authorities in the State did not issue any fines for dog fouling last year, new figures show. A total of 48 dog fouling fines were issued across the State last year, with the highest number (11) recorded in the Cork County Council area, Cavan County Council (six) and Fingal County Council (six), data collected by Vision Ireland shows. Local authorities in Carlow, Cork city, Donegal, Dublin city, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, Kilkenny, Leitrim, Longford, Mayo, Offaly, Tipperary, Sligo, Westmeath and Wexford did not issue any fines. A survey carried out by Vision Ireland of 281 blind or vision impaired people found that 42 per cent of respondents were frequently impacted by dog waste in public spaces. READ MORE The data was collected as part of the organisation's Clear Our Paths campaign, which aims to raise awareness of the everyday obstacles faced by blind and vision impaired people. One respondent to the survey said: 'Dog fouling gets all over my cane and shoes, and a lot of the time I don't realise. 'If I'm folding up my cane, it will get on my hands which is embarrassing and disgusting, and it would be much easier if an owner picks up after their dog.' Some 71 per cent of respondents said cars parked on footpaths frequently block their routes. There was a 5 per cent decrease in the number of fines issued to motorists last year for parking on footpaths, according to data provided by the local authorities to Vision Ireland, part of the National Council for the Blind of Ireland . A total of 21,032 fines were issued to motorists for parking on footpaths, with the highest number (4,703) in the Dublin City Council area. None were issued in Co Roscommon. More than a quarter of survey respondents identified parked cars as the number one obstacle when navigating footpaths. One respondent said they were 'trying to avoid a parked car and tripped over a protruding kerb'. 'I fell hard, injuring my hands, shins, and face. It was very sore, not to mention embarrassing.' Kevin Kelly, head of policy and external affairs at Vision Ireland said it was unacceptable that people who are blind or vision impaired 'must put themselves in danger' when forced to avoid illegally parked cars. 'The health and hygiene issues around dog waste are equally alarming,' he said. 'Fines alone are not the answer, and we urge the public to be more considerate of the needs of everyone who uses our shared spaces.' John Hurley, a Social Democrats councillor in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, which issued no fines for dog fouling last year, said it was almost impossible for councils to fine people over it because of 'the way the system is set up'. He suggested establishing a system that would use DNA sampling on dog faeces to 'track down the actual dog' and issue their owner a fine. Mr Hurley acknowledged this would mean 'every dog in the country has to be DNA profiled', but said legislation already mandates that dogs should have a microchip inserted.

Fluminense keeper Fabio surpasses Peter Shilton's record for most competitive appearances
Fluminense goalkeeper Fabio overtook Peter Shilton's longstanding record for the most competitive appearances in men's soccer, playing his 1,391st match during his side's 2-0 victory over America de Cali on Tuesday. The 44-year-old Brazilian has enjoyed a professional career spanning 28 years, with senior appearances for Uniao Bandeirante (30 matches), Vasco da Gama (150), Cruzeiro (976) and Fluminense (235). He made the switch from Cruzeiro to Fluminense in 2022 and has since won the Recopa Sudamericana and Copa Libertadores one each, alongside two Taca Guanabara and two Campeonato Carioca titles. "I have every reason to thank God for allowing me to experience this special moment and achieve this tremendous milestone. It was very emotional to experience this, especially with my family by my side during the tributes," Fabio said in a statement posted by Fluminense. "It is a great satisfaction to achieve this record wearing the Fluminense jersey, which opened doors for me." Fluminense celebrated Fabio's record with a tribute at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro following their win over America in the second leg of the Copa Sudamericana last 16 tie. "Now it's time to keep playing and striving for new achievements in every game," he added. Former England goalkeeper Shilton, who played between 1966 and 1997, was acknowledged as the record holder for the most competitive men's professional games, though the total is disputed. Guinness World Records and a number of statistics websites say the tally is 1,390 but Shilton himself, on his X feed, gives it as 1,387. The discrepancy comes from Guinness including 16 unofficial games that Shilton does not include, while he includes 13 games he played for England's Under-23s team that normally are not counted.
