Because this early-morning fire was just a few blocks from the Citytv studios, Breakfast Television was first on the scene to cover it. The live coverage included a recap of the relevant issues with fire fighting.

HONORABLE MENTION: “Ice Rescue”

Ice, not fire, brought four fire fighters in survival suits to a pond in Weymouth. There, at 2:00 a.m., they rescued a screaming, drowning man who never should have been on the frozen pond.
