## Resource

A structural emergency on Sumner Street forced Hartford officials to evacuate apartments amid severe flooding, leading to the suspension of the landlord’s license and emergency aid for displaced tenants. Meanwhile, Canadian wildfires are choking West Hartford’s air, pushing residents indoors and prompting health advisories. On the lighter side, NASCAR driver Ryan Preece is making community stops across Connecticut — visiting kids at Connecticut Children’s, attending a karting camp, and even grabbing pizza at Sally’s — showing athletes can be local heroes beyond the track.
