| Two rushed to clinic and released after fiery collision on icy road north of Klawock Two people were rushed to a clinic and later released after a fiery two-car collision on Prince of Wales Island Wednesday, according to Alaska State Troopers. Mayor Don "Nick" Nickerson says the two cars collided about two miles north of Klawock. "Our roads are super icy from the weather we've been having. We've had snow and rain, so with all that happening, it just compacted itself into ice. And it's very unfortunate this accident did happen. I think if we had some grit material put on our roads, it could have been prevented," Nickerson said in a phone interview. Photos posted to social media show one car in flames as firefighters work to extinguish the blaze. Nickerson says he hasn't seen this much snow and ice on Prince of Wales Island in over 20 years. He says he's calling on the state to keep key roads on the island passable. KRBD-FM 105.3 KETCHIKAN PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| At least 4 people taken to hospital after apartment fire in Texas VIDEO: Austin Fire Department and Austin-Travis County EMS responded to a three-alarm apartment fire early Friday morning. ATCEMS said six ambulances responded to the Ventura Apartments at 9133 Northgate Blvd. between West Rundberg Lane and U.S. Highway 183. Upon arrival, AFD said the top portion of the complex was engulfed in flames. More than 100 AFD firefighters responded to the scene, and AFD assistant chief Brandon Wade all 40 units were damaged by either fire or water, which most likely will displace everyone who lives there. As of ATCEMS' update via Twitter at 5:15 a.m., at least four people have been taken to hospitals for treatment. Two of the people have critical, life-threatening injuries and were taken to Dell Seton Medical Center, one with burns and another with smoke inhalation. KXAN-TV NBC 36 AUSTIN 120 C8 Corvettes Damaged by Kentucky Tornado Will Be Demolished VIDEO: Dozens of Chevrolet C8 Corvettes may have survived a tornado last month, but that doesn't mean they're out of danger. In fact, about 120 examples of the iconic sports car are now scheduled to be demolished, according to Jalopnik. The vehicles, which were damaged when a catastrophic tornado hit Kentucky and five other states last month, will reportedly be scrapped to ensure no defective cars end up on the road. The cars were damaged when a massive tornado struck the General Motors's plant where the C8 Corvette is built in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Although the toll of the deadly tornado was worse in other areas, the factory suffered major damage, including its roof and employee entrance catching on fire. ROBB REPORT 'You're always family:' Maine firefighter, paramedic returns from retirement to help department Knowing there's a health care crisis in Maine, one man is answering the call to help. He's the "newest" firefighter and paramedic for the Augusta Fire Department. "It's like we never skipped a beat. That's why they call it brotherhood, you're always family," Augusta Firefighter and Paramedic Greg Coniff said. After eight years away from the station, Coniff has returned from "retirement." "The city of Augusta was having a hard time filling vacancies that they had with qualified candidates," Coniff said. So Coniff is back at the place he worked for 19 years, according to the department. Chief David Groder welcomes his experience. "For us that's a great opportunity," Groder said. "He's trained in our organization, he's trained in our system. It's been a little while since he's been gone but he's able to step right back in." WGME-TV CBS 13 PORTLAND Chicago firefighters create unique fundraising campaign VIDEO: A group of Chicago firefighters have come up with a unique fundraising campaign to keep you hot all year round! They are posing with their fire retardant pants, axes, hoses, hats… and nothing more. "We have to stay in physically fit condition anyway, why not use the calendar as a motivator," said Henry Mendez, a Chicago firefighter EMT. He's one of ten firefighters who posed in the 2022 "Ignite the Spirit" calendar. They are the few, but brave, who dared to pose in next to nothing for charity. "You get them to walk into a burning building, but you can't get them to put themselves out there for a charitable cause sometimes," said Joe Warnke, also a Chicago firefighter EMT. The money raised from the sale of the calendars will benefit a fund for firefighters in need. It was created by a Chicago firefighter who helped with 9-11 recovery efforts, at Ground Zero. WFLD-TV FOX 32 CHICAGO Life-saving EMT determined to become third-generation Oklahoma firefighter An EMT and Cherokee Nation citizen who helped save a police officer's life in 2021 is following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather to become a Tulsa firefighter. "Failure for me is not an option," said Christian Kaiser, 21, of Kansas, Okla. "The Tulsa Fire Department, to me, is critical. It's all I've ever wanted out of life. This is make or break." The family's firefighting legacy began on Kaiser's Cherokee side with his grandfather, who spent 20 years with the Tulsa Fire Department before retiring as a captain. "Then my dad (Kelly), he grew up just right there in my grandpa's fire boots," Kaiser said. "He's fulfilled all his goals, dreams and hopes with the fire department. Now it's become a family deal. It runs in the blood. It's really a surreal feeling for me because my entire life has been building up to this moment here when the academy starts." CHEROKEE PHOENIX PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
