good evening i'm dave price we start with a developing story out of knoxville. a man got seriously burned after he caught on fire. this happened at 1605 oregon drive around 1-15 this afternoon. the man had been working in his driveway on a very windy day. channel 13's ben oldach is live in knoxville fire crews say the man is in his mid 50's and was working on his truck in the drive way when it suddenly caught fire. the fire spread to the man's coveralls which then lit the tops of his boots. his two adult sons came out to

sever injuries to his legs. despite the pain, firefighters say the man was able to walk to an ambulance. he was life flighted to a burn center in iowa city. the cause of the fire is still under investigation. thanks ben... we heard about new stats from the fbi that showed violent crime is down a lot across the country. and two iowa cities in particular are especially falling fast. but channel 13's reid chandler wanted to find out why. he joins us with more in the studio...hey reid. it's new at five. if you're looking to live in a safe community, look no further than the state of iowa. data analyzed by 24-7 wall street from the f-b-i between 2010 and 2014 shows dubuque and ames are the top two cities nation-wide where violent crime is plummeting. 11:19:37 "we've been pretty fortunate over the years to have a very low violent crime rate. and so, that affords us the opportunity to

neighborhood and work on a lot of quality of life issues." - commander jason tuttle - ames police department for ames, the data shows a 56 percent drop in violent crime over five years. there was only one homicide in the five year span of the study...with zero from 20-12 to 20-14. police say the study doesn't include 20-15 data...where the city had just one homicide, classified as "justifiable" due to self-defense. 21:23:59 "i've lived here for 30 years in the same neighborhood, and generally i would say i've never had the perception that violent crime was ever a problem." - debbie lee - oak to riverside neighborhood leader debbie lee is the leader for the oak to riverside neighborhood association. she credits the police department for being proactive - by forming close relationships with the city's neighborhoods - for the low crime rate. 21:24:37 "progress doesn't happen in a vacuum, and i would really credit - ames has been fortunate to have an exceptional police chief who has been willing to be creative and try different approaches." - debbie lee - oak to riverside

different approaches include training landlords to keep crime out of their apartments, meeting with students every fall at iowa state university, and providing resource officers to neighborhoods. 11:47:42 "i credit this very much to the leadership in the police department, that has...been working very hard on being a proactive rather than a reactive situation." - mayor ann campbell - ames commander jason tuttle says it's a cycle...if you have a low violent crime rate, you can focus your energy on preventative measures to keep it that way. 11:20:27 "and so, when we can do that, and we have the time to do that, we can get into the neighborhoods, work with some of the community leaders, work with some of the neighborhood association leaders on trying to solve specific problems in our neighborhoods." - commander jason tuttle - ames police department with plans to add another police officer to the force next year...the ames police department says its doubling down on its efforts to keep it at the top of these kinds of lists. while homicides specifically are down in ames, sexual assaults for the city are above the national average for 20-14, something that police say could be affected by having a college campus in town. alright thanks reid. a des moines man will try to

someone else is responsible for another man's death...not him. 24 year old troy mure junior is charged with vehicular homicide by reckless driving it involves an incident last november. police say he was speeding when he crashed into a tree... the crash killed his passenger, scalicity perez. mure claims he was trying to get away from people in another vehicle who were chasing and shooting at him. his bench trial is set for tomorrow morning in polk county. authorities have to figure out two things because of what's happened in jasper county...where are two inmates who've disappeared from the newton correctional release center? and...did someone help them escape? prison officials say these two men are the missing convicts. they are michael amodeo and jessy foley prison staff realized the men had disappeared after checking the facility around ten last night.
