    Good morning, this is Pittsburgh Local Pulse for Sunday, November 24, 2024.

    We're starting with breaking news from the past few days. A deadly house fire in Homestead is under investigation by the Allegheny County Fire Marshal. The fire occurred in the 100 block of West 12th Avenue, and we'll keep you updated as more information becomes available.

    In other news, the recount in the U.S. Senate race between Dave McCormick and Bob Casey is underway. Pennsylvania will publish the results on November 27, just a day before Thanksgiving. This comes after incumbent Sen. Bob Casey conceded to Dave McCormick earlier this week.

    Moving on to the job market, there are no major hiring announcements to report today, but we do have some updates on new job postings. The city of Pittsburgh is looking to recruit and train from within the community to address staffing shortages in Pittsburgh EMS. This initiative aims to bolster our emergency services and provide opportunities for local residents.

    In real estate news, the first Von Maur department store in Pennsylvania has opened at South Hills Village. This new addition to our retail landscape is expected to bring in more shoppers and create jobs. On the residential front, home prices and inventory levels remain steady, with no significant changes reported this week.

    Weather-wise, we're looking at some rain this weekend after the first snow of the season earlier this week. PennDOT is advising people to be cautious and avoid unnecessary travel as the storm approaches. If you're planning on heading out, make sure to check the latest forecasts and road conditions.

    In business news, Spirit Airlines has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and will attempt to reboot itself. On a more positive note, an eatery in Pittsburgh has been named among the 100 best in America for 2024 by OpenTable.

    Looking ahead to community events, Pittsburgh's Light Up Night is set to kick off the holiday season on Saturday. Thousands are expected to descend on downtown Pittsburgh for a night of festivities. The Peoples Gas Holiday Market has also opened in Market Square, offering a variety of holiday goods and activities.

    In local sports, the Pittsburgh Penguins faced a tough loss against the Winnipeg Jets, with Kyle Connor scoring a goal and an assist in the Jets' 4-1 win. High school football scores from November 22 are available online for those interested in catching up on local sports action.

    On a feel-good note, the KDKA-TV Turkey Fund is seeing a lot of community support, with various initiatives like a WPIAL food drive contributing to the cause. It's heartening to see our community come together to help those in need.

    Finally, in our crime report, a man was shot inside Club Pittsburgh in the Strip District, and a former Westmoreland County employee was charged with theft after ordering unauthorized pay increases. These incidents remind us of the importance of public safety and accountability.
