Alaska State Troopers were notified of a head-on collision near mile 94 on the Parks Highway on Thursday, according to a dispatch. Troopers received the call at 9:05 am and responded to the scene, along with first responders.

The driver of the SUV was the only person in the vehicle and was declared dead at the scene. The motorhome driver was transported to a nearby hospital with minor injuries. Currently, Alaska State Troopers are investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash. The accident did close down the highway for three hours but is now clear. No identities have been released; troopers say they will release the driver's name who died as soon as next of kin is notified.  

The state fire marshal is investigating a raging fire that tore through a warehouse in Dudley, Massachusetts, Thursday night. Massive flames ripped through the warehouse on Roberts Road at 11:30 p.m. Firefighters who have been on the scene for hours were ordered out of the building due to extreme, hazardous conditions. Officials said the building contained industrial materials. A state hazmat team responded to monitor the air quality. State Police fire investigators assigned to the State Fire Marshal's office are working with local officials in an effort to determine the origin and cause of the fire. No injuries were reported.  

VIDEO: Firefighters in San Francisco are crediting mobile technology for a rescue. It's a piece of technology that most people walk around with every day, and now first responders are using it to lead them to people who need help. Fort Funston in San Francisco is a beautiful place to hike, but after dark, it can get disorienting. That's apparently what happened to a woman Wednesday night. San Francisco fire crews said the woman called a non-emergency number saying she was lost. Dispatchers were able to use a system called Rapid SOS, which pinged her phone, and led rescuers right to her location. She was found cold, but otherwise OK. Battalion Chief Glenn Kircher says it appears everything worked exactly the way it should have. "This is where technology works in our favor, and it worked perfectly," said Kircher.  

VIDEO: A charter school in St. Paul attracts students with unique needs from around Minnesota and across the country. And the building's safety plan is so successful, the state hopes other schools will follow suit. Every inch of Metro Deaf School was carefully thought out. "We had a deaf architect working alongside hearing architects," said Melissa Sweetmilk, the school's principal. "There's no other school like Metro Deaf School." Years ago, when the school moved locations, administrators had the opportunity to design the building of their dreams, and they added more safety features. The attention to detail extended to the school's safety plan. "There is always that thought in the back of our heads: What if someone does enter the school wanting to hurt people," Sweetmilk said.  

VIDEO: It's a sad day for Americans as what some would argue as being the most important museum in the country has closed their doors forever. Wednesday, August 17, was the final day of operation for the 9/11 Tribute Museum in New York City. According to NBC New York, the decision was brought on after a sharp drop in visitors since the COVID-19 pandemic. The loss of revenue caused quite a large amount of financial hardship, which forced the executives with the museum to make the gut wrenching decision to shut their doors for good. "We're millions of dollars in debt with our lease, and to try and make that up on top of our annual operating cost is almost impossible without visitors or some intervention from our government," said Jennifer Adams-Webb, CEO and co-founder of the museum.  

On Saturday, New Hanover County firefighters will test both physical and mental boundaries. "Our job is very physical but it's a lot of mental too," says Jason Sinclair with NHCFR. "Especially in a hurricane deployment or if we have to work all 24 hours, it's not just physical ability, it's a lot of mental." It is meant to symbolize the shift of a firefighter. They will stop at all 8 fire stations, which spans 41 miles, in 24 hours. In anticipation, Sinclair says they've been putting in a lot of extra work to prepare. "We are out running and it's August in Wilmington, North Carolina. So hot, humid, whatever condition it is, raining, the fire department always goes out so we are going to be running no matter what." They are raising funds for ACCESS of Wilmington, and the Miracle Field is right next to the station.
