Fire rips through rowhouses in Riverdale, Illinois
Flames consumed multiple rowhouses in the south Chicago suburb of Riverdale overnight Monday into Tuesday. The fire broke out in the early-morning hours at 137th Street and Eggleston Avenue. It was not immediately learned how the fire started or if anyone was inside the rowhouses at the time. Riverdale Professional Firefighters 3580 said fire department staffing issues were a problem in fighting the fire. The union said the first arriving engine had only three full-time firefighters on board, and one had to remain outside to operate the pump and maintain the water supply — leaving only two to go inside and fight the fire. Information from the Riverdale Fire Department was not immediately available.

Albion player of the year retires from internationals - after 77 England caps
Albion star Fran Kirby has retired from international football. She steps down after being told she would not be picked by England for the Euros this summer. Kirby has 77 caps for the Lionesses and was a deserving winner of the Seagulls' player of the year award for the 2024-25 season. Advertisement She has been on international duty for pre-Euros warm-up fixtures and went on as sub in the win at home to Portugal at Wembley on Friday. Kirby told the BBC: "It is something I have been thinking about for over a year. I knew this was going to be my last major tournament. "The plan was to retire after the Euros but after speaking to Sarina I'm not going to make the squad. "It was like a dagger to my heart but also a weight off my shoulders all at the same time. It was emotional for both of us but we both respected what each person was saying." Kirby was injured on international duty last season, which ruled her out of club action for several weeks. Advertisement She was badly missed over that period but returned for the run-in as Albion finished a club record fifth in the WSL. The former Chelsea star was praised by Seagulls head coach Dario Vidosic for a positive and professional attitude which got her back ahead of schedule.
