| Hometown Heroes: Ester Volunteer Fire Department welcomes new firefighters PHOTO: Congratulations to Ester Volunteer Fire Department's two newest entry-qualified firefighters. Finn Wilson and Timothy DeLap both earned their 51 helmet shields. YOURALASKALINK.COM Anchorage drivers urged to stay alert as new law goes into effect An update to Anchorage's transportation laws designed to make roads safer for bikers, pedestrians and other "vulnerable road users" took effect Oct. 7. The new law eliminates fines for what is commonly called jaywalking and makes it legal for people to cross the street at places other than a crosswalk. "I think what drivers and other roadway users can expect is that people will be crossing the road and at more places, and perhaps less anticipated places," said Anchorage Police Sergeant David Noll, head of APD's Traffic Unit. "That kind of puts a little bit more responsibility on drivers to pay attention, to anticipate and limit distractions while they are driving." Noll said the law still prohibits pedestrians or other vulnerable road users from darting out into traffic. They're expected to yield the right-of-way to vehicles when crossing a street outside of a crosswalk and, if they are crossing at a light, they must obey the pedestrian signals.

| Teenager accused of threatening Pennsylvania EMS workers with 9mm gun VIDEO: A 15-year-old allegedly threatened EMS workers with a gun at the Canton Township EMS station in Washington County on Wednesday night. Police said the teenager walked through the garage doors with a loaded 9mm handgun. "All the sudden, I see the red lights and blue lights," said Harold Plants, who lives nearby. "They took the guy out of the garage in handcuffs." The on-duty paramedics, ages 24, 51 and 53, called the police and restrained the teenager until troopers arrived. The director of the Washington County Ambulance and Chair EMS station said the suspect has no connection to the station or any of the employees. Those who live nearby said they are not surprised that something like this happened. "People breaking into cars, stealing this, stealing that, shootings, stabbings," Plants said. "It happens everywhere." KDKA-TV CBS 2 PITTSBURGH California firefighter is now viral 'Cowboys phone guy' meme VIDEO: A Vacaville city firefighter is now a viral sensation after an image of him on the phone in a sea of San Francisco fans was broadcast during Sunday's blowout game. Eugene Hernandez was sitting front row, decked out in his Dallas blue, when not long into the third quarter his phone started to ring. "That's when all the pictures started to roll in, and shortly after that, Dak Prescott threw the interception that was headed straight towards us," Hernandez said. "I kind of already knew, just looking at the image, it was going to be an instant meme." Wearing a decommissioned fire helmet he handmade into a Cowboys hat, he soon found the photo was taking off on social media. Hernandez is used to putting out fires, but it was quickly clear he was starting one on the internet. KOVR-TV CBS 13 SACRAMENTO North Idaho fire chief uses bright new method to connect firefighters with community VIDEO: A growing North Idaho fire district is opening their doors to their neighbors in a bright new way. At the Mica Kidd Fire District just south of Coeur d'Alene, when the red light is on outside the fire hall, it's an open invitation to the community to grab a cup of coffee, come inside, and meet their firefighters. "We have the beautiful peaceful beauty of CDA, away from the noise and we have our own quiet little section of the world to enjoy," said Steve Isaacson. On Thursday, the crew included Steve Isaacson, a retired firefighter who lives right down the road. "This is the way to meet the people who are here to serve you and they want to do it, it's an open arm and it's a great idea," said Isaacson. Steve saw the red light and decided to stop by, which is the overall goal of this new initiative started by Chief Robert Matue. When the red light is on, it's inviting the community in. KXLY-TV ABC 4 SPOKANE No arrests made in Alabama fire station shooting three months later VIDEO: It's been three months since a vicious attack at a Birmingham fire station that left one firefighter dead and another injured. July 12 was when an assailant fired multiple shots into the bay of Fire Station 9, and to this day no arrests have been made. Firefighter Jordan Melton died from injuries he suffered in that attack. Firefighter Jamal Jones was badly injured when the gunman opened fire in broad daylight. According to Birmingham Fire officials, Jones has not yet been able to return to work and is still recovering. The company of Fire Station 9 have been operating out of other stations since the incident, currently operating out of Station 8 in Kingston, while renovations are made to Station 9. Until renovations are complete, they'll continue operating at other stations. No arrests have been made in the case, and Birmingham Police have not named any suspects.
