At 10:20 a.m., what sounded like a freight train roared in room 190 at Denali Montessori in Anchorage, prompting students to act out what to do in case of an earthquake. The school was one of over 110,000 participants in the Great Alaska Shakeout according to shakeout.org, which promotes worldwide exercises that focus on earthquake education and emergency preparedness. "So we all as a school practiced our Earthquake drill. So, we all practiced our duck, cover and hold," teacher Erin Arno said. Arno teaches a first, second and third-grade fusion class at the elementary school. On Thursday, she spent her morning teaching students about earthquake safety and showing them what to do in case one would occur. KTUU-TV NBC 2 ANCHORAGE |

 A stolen U-Haul went up in flames after a driver led police on a miles-long chase in west Houston early Wednesday morning, according to the Houston Police Department. This happened on the Westpark Tollway service road at Dairy Ashford. Houston Transtar cameras caught the end of the chase where the U-Haul truck caught fire. Houston police said this started when officers responded to a call that someone driving a U-Haul crashed into a vehicle and started firing shots into the car he smashed into before taking off. Police spotted the stolen U-Haul at about 1 a.m. When officers tried to stop the driver, they said he kept going leading officers on a slow chase all over the Westpark Drive area. Police threw down spike strips and hit most of the tires on the U-Haul. However, the driver just kept going at a slow speed, police said. KHOU-TV CBS 11 HOUSTON Fire departments throughout Wisconsin will soon have the chance to safely dispose of firefighting foam containing toxic "forever chemicals" free of charge. The Department of Natural Resources announced the beginning of its foam collection program, which received $1 million in funding from the current state budget. Fire departments are not able to use foam containing PFAS, except in the case of emergencies or for testing at facilities equipped to prevent the foam from going into the environment or sewers. DNR Secretary Preston Cole said the foam collection is the first step the state can take to protect firefighters and reduce the cost to local governments. "It will also help prevent people from contaminating our groundwater, our rivers and our lakes," Cole said Monday during an announcement at the Appleton Fire Station No. 6. WAUSAU DAILY HERALD - METERED SITE VIDEO: A northern Kentucky firefighter is recovering after a fellow firefighter stepped up to donate when he needed desperately needed a kidney. It started when Newport firefighter Bob Hug had been struggling with kidney disease and was in desperate need of a kidney transplant for well over a year. He had been on dialysis for six months and through many ups and downs with possible donors and matches, but none had worked out. That's when over 40 people who knew Hug, including fellow firefighter Ryan Whaley, stepped up to see if they would be a match. Shortly after, Whaley discovered he was a perfect match. After talking with his family, Whaley stepped forward to donate his kidney to Hug. WLWT-TV NBC 5 CINCINNATI Next week marks the 10th anniversary of Superstorm Sandy. During the height of the storm, one neighborhood in Greenwich was hit by a massive fire. News 12 Connecticut takes a look at how fire crews put out the fire in the midst of the storm. NEWS 12 CONNECTICUT "Happiness is a warm puppy." That sentiment expressed by cartoonist Charles M. Schulz is just as true today as it was on April 25, 1960, when it first appeared in the comic strip "Peanuts." And the firefighters, paramedics and reservists who work at the Boulder City Fire Department would be among the first to agree. Earlier this year, Ryno, a golden retriever, came to live at the station whenever his owner/handler Walt West is on duty. But more than just bringing happiness, Ryno is a certified therapy dog whose presence helps reduce stress and anxiety among the firefighters and paramedics. Stress is a serious issue and mental health issues have been overlooked in the fire service, said Boulder City Fire Department Chief Will Gray. "Firefighters across the country have seen an uptick in (post-traumatic stress disorder) and suicide." BOULDER CITY REVIEW |
