 Capital City Fire and Rescue received a report early Wednesday morning of a structure fire at a residence on West 10th Street, AEL&P briefly cut off power in the area for responder safety. The report came in at about 3:16 am of the fire at 416 W 10th. Fire Chief Rich Etheridge said there was heavy smoke and fire in the building when they arrived. The fire was discovered by the homeowner, who made attempts to extinguish the fire, but smoke conditions quickly drove him out of the building. At around 3:50 am power was cut to the area near the governor's mansion downtown and the flats, Etheridge said the power was disconnected due to the immediate hazards to responders. AEL&P was later able to isolate the home affected, and power was restored at around 4:40am. Etheridge said about 25 firefighters responded to the scene. KINY 800AM/103.5FM JUNEAU This September 11th marks not only the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks that day in 2001, it also comes on the cusp of the United States pulling out of Afghanistan. For one Alaska Army National Guard Soldier who was near the Pentagon that day, it is a time to reflect. Master Sgt. Melissa Branch, the Alaska Army National Guard state religious affairs noncommissioned officer, was in the U.S. Marine Corps at the time, working as a chaplain's assistant for the 14th Chaplain of the Marine Corps. She recalled her morning being like any other morning. "I arrived early to work that day," she said. "It was Chaplain Diana Meehan's first day working for us. We were doing our morning meeting, and they wanted me to show her around the Pentagon." DVIDS |

 VIDEO: Massive flames burned through the roof of a commercial warehouse Thursday night in west Louisville, completely destroying the building that required a large presence of firefighters and first responders. The fire was initially reported just before 8:30 p.m. Thursday in the 3100 block of Del Park Terrace in the Russell neighborhood. That's not far from Interstate 264 and River Park Drive. Louisville Fire Department spokesperson Maj. Bobby Cooper confirmed that the warehouse belonged to a business called Anderson Finishing Solutions. The 80,000 square foot building housed solvents, paint thinners and large volumes of flammable liquids. Cooper said the cause of the fire is unknown, but arson investigators have been called in. The fire department brought in nearly 100 firefighters and more than 20 firefighter apparatus. WLKY-TV CBS 32 LOUISVILLE Move over Dalmatians, a little baby pig is taking the spotlight at a firehouse in Brooklyn. Penny the fire pig is three months old and was adopted by FDNY firefighter Darren Harris. Penny spends much of her time hanging with her dad and the other firefighters at Engine 239 in Park Slope. She's become somewhat of a local celebrity, as many people stop by to snap pictures with the cutie and feed her snacks. Harris says Penny will likely be about 50 lbs. when she's fully grown. Her dad and the other firefighters have changed up their diets and are no longer eating pork around the firehouse. WWNY-TV CBS 7 CARTHAGE VIDEO: Every now and then, the internet opens a portal on a weird new trend. Enter the Milk Crate Challenge. You can find a growing collection of videos on TikTok, Instagram, Twitter and the like of people stacking milk crates, trying to climb them like a staircase, and taking terrible falls, because believe it or not, piles of milk crates are not structurally sound. On TikTok, videos with the hashtag #milkcratechallenge had racked up more than 10 million views, and #cratechallenge had more than 82 million views before the platform started taking them down. Here's what's going on with the Milk Crate Challenge. The Milk Crate Challenge involves stacking milk crates in a pyramid of sorts so they form steps. People try to climb up one side and down the other as the stacks get increasingly precarious. CNET Firefighters statewide have threatened to quit instead of being vaccinated, but, for some local firefighters – it's more complicated than that. They want to know if their job will change if they ask for an exemption. For the past 20 years, Tim Archer has been on the frontlines. He's also the president of the Spokane Firefighter's Union and says he hasn't gotten the vaccine for religious reasons. He will be filing a religious exemption, but wouldn't explain further what belief would make him exempt. "Those that have a religious exemption, or a medical exemption, to pursue those exemptions, which the city is helping us do," Archer said. "But what we do not have is any assurance, is that with that approved exemption, we will be able to work October 19." He argues it's not clear whether firefighters who are granted exemptions will be allowed to work in the field. KXLY-TV ABC 4 SPOKANE Fire killed 3,700 and injured 16,600 people in 2019. Direct property losses due to fire reached $14.8 billion a year. Firefighters paid a high price for this fire record as well; in 2019, 62 firefighters died on duty. America's fire losses today represent a dramatic improvement from more than 40 years ago. In 1971, our nation lost more than 12,000 residents and 250 firefighters to fire. Acting to stop these tragic losses, Congress passed the Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act in 1974, and created the National Fire Prevention and Control Administration (NFPCA), now the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA), and the National Fire Academy (NFA). Since that time, through data collection, public education, research and training efforts, USFA has helped to reduce fire deaths and make our communities and residents safer.
