| United States Honor Flag presented to Anchorage Fire Department on anniversary of 9/11 attacks VIDEO: Twenty-three years after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, the Anchorage Fire Department was presented with the United States Honor Flag. The Honor Flag was presented to Honor Network President and Founder Chris Heisler by the Texas House of Representatives for his work following 9/11. Heisler was given the flag in late October 2001, when he worked as a civilian. The flag flew at Ground Zero in the days following the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, and since then, Heisler has taken the flag with him as he served in the U.S. Army. It also took a flight on NASA's space shuttle Atlantis during its final mission. Since then, the flag has been presented across the country to honor sacrifices made by service members and first responders. KTUU-TV NBC/CBS 5 ANCHORAGE PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| VIDEO: Massive inferno burns Pennsylvania warehouse, residents told to stay indoors Flames and thick smoke shot from a large warehouse in Northeast Philadelphia Friday morning as firefighters battled the large blaze that could be seen and smelled for miles around and forced local residents to stay indoors. The fire along Adams Avenue, near East Wingohocking Street in the Frankford neighborhood, broke out around 5:30 a.m. on Sept. 13, 2024, and quickly spread to two alarms, Philadelphia Fire Department Assistant Deputy Commissioner Derek Bowmer said. The building is a commercial building with an auto shop in the rear that is near the Frankford Creek, Bowmer said. There is another commercial building in back. Both buildings were unoccupied at the time of the fire. "It quickly escalated to three alarms," Bowmer said as firefighters attacked the flames from outside. By 6:30 a.m. a fourth alarm was struck. WCAU-TV NBC 10 PHILADELPHIA Fire engine returned to New York fire department after being decommissioned for 60 years PHOTOS: More than 60 years after Hicksville Volunteer Fire Department's fire engine was decommissioned, the vintage vehicle has finally returned home. The engine's return began last month when former Hicksville Fire Chief Patrick McGeough alerted company historian and former Chief Karl Schweitzer of a posting on the antique apparatus – long thought to be lost to the salvage yard. "It was sold in '61 or '62 and that was the last we saw of it," said Schweitzer. "Minus the pictures we have of it on our wall. Pat saw [the listing] and asked me if I thought it was one of our old trucks," Schweitzer continued. "[Pat] said that someone was getting rid of it, so we started reaching out to the owner to verify it was one of ours. And it was." Within just a few days, the officers of Company 5 received a Facebook message from Andrew Rittner Jr. in Ashford, Conn. THE NASSAU OBSERVER After I-15 fire in California, new rules proposed for lithium-ion battery transport VIDEO: About eight weeks after a fire shut down Interstate 15 between Las Vegas and Los Angeles, U.S. Rep. Dina Titus (D-Nev.) is proposing new rules on the transportation of lithium-ion batteries. The 44-hour closure of I-15 about 25 miles east of Barstow was a major problem for weekend travelers on their way to Las Vegas. A flatbed truck carrying six industrial-grade batteries overturned on the shoulder of northbound I-15, stopping traffic for miles in 110-degree heat. Now Titus has introduced the "Thermal Runaway Reduction Act," which focuses on ways to reduce the potential for thermal runaway — when the temperature of a battery increases uncontrollably, often leading to a fire. Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn G. Goodman cited the crash and freeway closure as more evidence that California should take steps to widen I-15. KLAS-TV CBS 8 LAS VEGAS Arizona fire agencies come together to learn new techniques for palm tree rescues VIDEO: Multiple fire departments and districts came together to train for palm tree rescues at Reid Park in Tucson. Firefighters use a lot of gear including shoes with spikes to rescue people stuck in palm trees. But now they're working on a faster, safer way, where those spikes are no longer necessary. "When someone's stuck in a tree, you know, time is life," said Roger Thompson, a firefighter with the Tucson Fire Department. Technical rescue technicians from across southern Arizona have been meeting for years, learning and practicing how to rescue people who've gotten stuck in palm trees. Thompson told 13 News they see one to two rescues each year. And he's come up with a new way to execute their rescues. "Implements a lot of the same techniques, but also somewhat streamlined," Thompson said. KOLD-TV CBS 13 TUCSON PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
