The average Sicilian fire department sees 40 calls but the local department was doing 120. Later it was revealed that the fire crew had been setting fires themselves because fighting the fire of duty fires netted then an extra €10 an hour.

North Korea Threatens to Bomb Guam
Guam is a US territory in the Pacific and a tropical island, that’s home to around 160000 people, a US Army base, and a US Navy base. This tiny chunk of US territory came into the news in the most unexpected way. Pyongyang’s state-run news agency issued a threat to hit the waters directly around the island with missiles. This came just after intelligence broke that North Korea had finally managed to miniaturize a nuclear bomb to fit on a missile. The slightest misstep could cause catastrophe and the deaths of maybe millions of people. We can only hope things don’t escalate any further in the coming weeks.
