Sniffer dogs used as arson investigation begins following house fire in Radford – Nottinghamshire Live

An arson investigation is underway after a fire ripped through a house in Radford.

The property in Denman Street Central is currently taped off and crime scene investigation units are at the scene.

Firefighters were called to the scene at 7.11pm on Wednesday, January 8, and three crews from London Road, Highfields and Stockhill tackled the blaze.

Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service said it had been using sniffer dogs to detect accelerants - which are used to ignite and increase the speed in which a fire develops - within the property.

A spokesman for the service said: "We have got the fire investigation dog there at the moment as part of the investigation.

"The dog is there to look for any kinds of accelerants at the scene.

"Four breathing apparatus were used by four firefighters who used two hose reel jets and a thermal imaging camera."

A building in the street has been visibly gutted by the fire, but surrounding properties are unaffected.

Head of prevention and protection at Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service, Damien West, praised the quick work of the service in stopping the incident developing and spreading to other properties.

"Swift, effective action by Notts fire crews stopped this incident developing further and thankfully there were no injuries," the senior fire official said.

"A joint investigation in to the cause will take place tomorrow (January 9). Well have crews in the area to reassure and support the local community."

Nottinghamshire Police said it is now investigating reports of arson at the property and is appealing for information.

A force spokesman added: "Officers investigating a report of a arson in Radford last night (Wednesday 8 January 2020) are appealing for information and witnesses.

"Nottinghamshire Police was called to Denman Street Central at around 7.10pm after reports of a house fire on fire.

"No one was injured in the incident but detectives are no appealing for information that could aid them in their investigation.

"Detective Sergeant Chris Berryman, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: We are working hard to establish the circumstances of the fire.

Laurence Fishburne to feature Kelowna-based cannabis producer on Behind the Scenes – The GrowthOp

A Kelowna, B.C.-based medical cannabis producer with facilities in Canada and Colombia will be adding some star power to its company in 2020.

Oscar-nominated actor Laurence Fishburne, best known for his roles in films like the John Wick series, Whats Love Got to Do with It, The Matrix and Kings of New York, as well as his television roles in shows like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, will include two short documentary segments featuring Allied Corp. and its charitable organization on his show, Behind the Scenes with Laurence Fishburne.

Being able to distribute the Allied message to the Behind the Scenes national network will only scale the number of people who we are able to reach, and who might need this educational content, Allied CEO Calum Hughes said in a news release. We are excited to continue to inspire those suffering that there is help and a way back to health and wellness while living with PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), which is the core of Allieds vision.

The company noted it employs an evidence-informed scientific approach through the use of cutting-edge pharmaceutical research and development, innovative plant-based production and unique development of therapeutic products, with a particular focus on the potential for cannabinoids to treat illnesses such as PTSD.

The television segments will focus on rampant PTSD diagnoses and elevated suicide rates in the veteran community, as well as Allieds stated intent to help those suffering by providing access to products infused with cannabidiol (CBD), a psychoactive, but non-intoxicating, compound derived from the cannabis plant.

The segments will be three to five minutes. The program aims to merge creativity and technology in order to foster organic and inspiring content that will be viewed and shared with millions globally.

Exact air dates have yet to be determined, but the segments are expected to be available within the first three months of 2020.

Who plays Dr. Justin Brock on FBI: Most Wanted? Henry Thomas guests – Monsters and Critics

7th January 2020 12:22 AM ET

Sign up now for your TV newsletter!

Dr. Justin Brock is going to be the quarry during the FBI: Most Wanted series premiere. The character is deeply involved in the world of organized crime, drugs, and lies. Now, he ends up implicated in the death of his wife.

The FBI Fugitive Task Force, led by Agent Jess LaCroix, will be tasked with bringing him to justice. Will they catch their man during the premiere? Or is this going to be a case that continues later during Season 1?

Its the perfect show to use guest stars to join the regular FBI: Most Wanted cast each week. The writers can bring in recognizable actors and actresses to serve as the fugitives, making it even more interesting to watch the team track them down.

It could serve as stunt casting, with more prominent stars brought on for sweeps episodes.

One such recognizable face will appear during the season premiere, with actor Henry Thomas playing Dr. Justin Brock.

Henry Thomas has been in the industry for years, and CBS viewers are going to recognize Dr. Justin Brock right away. But because he was more famous as a child actor, it may take a few moments to place him.

Thomas is undoubtedly best known for playing Elliott in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. He even appears as the character in new Comcast commercials, where the little alien returns to Earth years after he went back to his home planet.

The role of Elliott was pretty iconic and it may have led to Thomas getting too type-cast to evolve into different roles later in his career.

He has also appeared in supporting roles for films like Legends of the Fall and as a guest star on shows like Without a Trace, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and The Mentalist.

Thomas also received a lot of acclaim for his role as the young Hugh Crain on The Haunting of Hill House. Its a show worth checking out on Netflix because it shows what he might be able to do on television dramas.

FBI: Most Wanted airs Tuesday nights at 10/9c on CBS.
