At least 7 vehicles 'heavily damaged' in fire behind Wallace Volvo Cars in Stuart
STUART — A multi-car fire at the Wallace Volvo Cars dealership in Stuart May 15 resulted in damage to at least seven cars, according to fire rescue officials. No one was injured. The fire started behind the dealership, in the 2600 block of Southeast Federal Highway, in a lot where employees park and where new inventory arrives. One of the cars belonged to Aaron Amador, a sales consultant at Wallace Volvo. He said his Toyota 4Runner was parked in the lot and a technician at the dealership had also parked in the lot. Amador said the backseat of one of the cars was smoking and when the door of the car was opened, air rushed in and the fire spread to the car next to it. "By the time they ran in to tell us that there was a fire, I grabbed my keys to move my car and it was already on fire," Amador said. The fire was determined to be accidental, not a crime, according to Stuart Police spokesperson Lt. Brian Bossio. The seven cars that burned in the fire had heavy fire damage and two vehicles nearby had minor damage, according to Stuart Fire Rescue Operations Chief Jonathan Huneycutt.

Martin County Sheriff's Office launches new 911 live video calling system
MARTIN COUNTY — The Sheriff's Office launched a 911 live video call system on May 1 that allows first responders to see what's going on at the site before they arrive. Sheriff's officials began testing the system earlier in the week, working out the bugs, but it's now live. It works with iPhones and Androids. The Sheriff's Office, Martin County Fire Rescue, Stuart Police, Sewall's Point Police, and Jupiter Island Public Safety all are using the new system. Here's how it works: When someone calls 911, a dispatcher will ask if they can send the caller a link that will allow them to be on a one-way video call with the dispatcher. The link is for a one-time use and once the call has ended, the Sheriff's Office does not have access to the caller's phone. Kasey Mundt, public safety telecommunicator, demonstrates how the new live video call works on May 1, 2025. Martin County Sheriff's Office officially launched the system on May 1. Instead of dispatchers having to relay information to first responders, dispatch will be able to share the video so first responders know what they are getting into before arriving at an address. "We do a lot of runs with Fire Rescue, so if we get a car crash or a rollover crash, we can more efficiently determine what resources need to go out there," Sheriff John Budensiek said. Budensiek said not every 911 call will use the new system, it will depend on the nature of the call. He said, for example, a call about a hit-and-run crash could show which way the car was leaving and how bad someone's injuries are. "It will be a case-by-case basis," Budensiek said. "Dispatchers kind of have a feel, they know when the right timing is." Martin County: Sheriff's Office still investigating death of 17-year-old Fort Pierce boy Martin County: Detectives confiscate knife from Spectrum Academy student Kasey Mundt, a public safety telecommunicator, said it gives dispatchers a clear picture of what is going on in the eyes of the person who is calling. "A lot of the times when somebody is in a situation and they can't really think clearly, it gives us kind of a second eye to see what's going on," Mundt said. Mundt said she is excited to use the new system because first responders will be able to respond quicker and have a better idea of what they are responding to. She said a common problem is not having enough descriptive information from callers, so the system should help with that issue. Dispatchers did an online training for the new system and Mundt said they are able to go back to review things and see step-by-step what they need to do and how they need to do it.
