On today’s WTJX Radio NewsFeed: Three brush fires kept VIFEMS crews busy over the weekend, including a St. Croix blaze that began as a vehicle fire before spreading into nearby vegetation and one on St. Thomas near the Roy Lester Schneider Hospital and Charlotte Kimelman Cancer Institute. A St. Thomas man has been arrested after police say they discovered him naked inside a ransacked Estate Fortuna residence. The USVI Nike RBI 18U girls softball team returned home as World Series champions after making history with the program's first national title in a 3-1 victory over the Houston Astros. Listen to these stories and more.
