On Tuesday, WMAR-2 News Elizabeth Worthington went to Havre De Grace where there is a proposal to expand blasting at a quarry and homeowners are fighting back. Al Peteraf, who lives in Havre De Grace says the shaking is a lot, "I mean, you feel that a couple times a week, and you wonder, 'what's that doing to my gas line, my foundation, my geothermal loop?' These things are problematic. And I haven't even gotten into the dust."

From there we head to Baltimore City and learn more about the Camp Small fire. You may remember the large, wind-driven fire that broke out in early December. Cyera Williams got a firsthand look at what's left in the area.
As wildfires continue to devastate parts of California, Chief Wallace expressed solidarity with firefighters facing similar challenges on the West Coast. “We’re all a family; we’re all part of a community,” he said, emphasizing the relentless efforts of firefighters combating extreme conditions. “They’re working around the clock against tremendous odds, and they’re in our thoughts and prayers.”
We are the Voice for Veterans and were happy to highlight the chain of kindness that impacted one local business and how he's paying it forward. WMAR-2 News newest reporter, Raven Payne, talked to Tiny Brick oven owner, Will Fagg.

But it's what the fellow veteran did with part of that money, that has us catching up with him this week.
Watch below to see how he paid it foward.
