Firemen Deliver Water to Train in North Lawrence
A Lawrence fire truck delivered 300 gallons of water at 2 56 a m Sunday to a Rock Island eastbound freight train to restore steam in brake lines after water lines froze.

Firefighters also responded to a major fire at INTERx Corp building and four minor incidents including apartment fires caused by thawing pipes and a candle incident with modest damage totals.
