| Circle Bay Fire on Woronkofski Island receives minimal growth PHOTOS: The Circle Bay Fire had minimal growth on Sunday, Aug. 18, and was about half an acre in size. Fire activity remains low. Please stay out of the area, as there are hazards such as falling trees. The powerline that serves local communities is not threatened at this time, and the Forest Service continues to monitor the fire daily. ALASKA WILDLAND FIRE INFORMATION Stranded boaters in the Aleutians in stable condition, after complex rescue by Coast Guard Two women who capsized their small skiff Monday in Volcano Bay are in stable condition. According to U.S. Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Travis Magee, the women had symptoms of hypothermia when the Coast Guard crew reached them Tuesday morning. "After the air crew delivered the two individuals to Dutch Harbor, they were taken to EMS for treatment," Magee said. The Coast Guard received a report Monday evening that the women's roughly eight-foot skiff had overturned in Volcano Bay, on the northwest side of Unalaska Island, he said. The two individuals had disembarked from a larger vessel that had one person aboard. That person was unable to help the women because of dangerous sea conditions at the time, Magee said.

| VIDEOS: Massive fire at tire recycling factory in Mississippi still burns We have learned more details regarding a massive fire that broke out on Saturday in Jackson. As of Monday morning, the huge fire that occurred at the Mississippi Tire Recycling building located at East McDowell Road and Parcel Drive still burns. Jackson Fire Assistant Chief Patrick Armon said firefighters are still actively trying to put out the blaze. He says that 10 alarms went off when the fire began, meaning around 10 units responded to the scene to get the blaze under control. Since Saturday, he says at least one or two firetrucks have been at the scene every minute. Armon also said that crews have been using hydrants since Saturday, but due to a water main break, firefighters were reduced to using the water on their firetrucks Sunday evening. WLBT-TV NBC 3 JACKSON Man arrested after shooting at fire, EMS officials & stealing fire vehicle in North Carolina The Rowan County Sheriff's Office arrested a man after he fired shots at fire and EMS officials and then fled from the scene in a fire vehicle. Officials state around 11:45 a.m. Rowan County emergency services and Atwell Fire Department responded to Shinn Farm Road and Hwy. 152 in regards to an unconscious male sitting in a vehicle. When they arrived on scene it did not appear the male needed medical attention and could possibly be impaired. They contacted North Carolina State Highway Patrol and while waiting for highway patrol to arrive on scene, the male produced a handgun and began shooting at fire and EMS. Officials state that one Rowan County paramedic sustained an arm injury from a fall while seeking cover. The sheriff's office stated that the male, identified as Miguel Angel Perez Ramirez, got into a fire pickup truck and drove erratically. WBTV CBS 3 CHARLOTTE Popular YouTube group experiences fire academy in Colorado A trio of YouTubers made their firefighting debuts in Denver with South Metro Fire Rescue. The Try Guys first appeared in Buzzfeed videos trying various odd-ball activities — anything from baking bread to recreating images of famous male icons. But they have since left the media giant and started their own company: 2nd Try. The trio appeared in a YouTube video published Saturday that features the Parker facility and members of the South Metro Fire Rescue crew. The group, originally made up of four members, is making one last push with three of its original members: Keith Habersberger, Zach Kornfeld and Eugene Lee Yang. As part of their last hurrah, Kornfeld, Yang and Habersberger joined South Metro Fire Rescue for one day to try out the agency's high-intensity fire academy, which ordinarily takes 20 weeks to complete.
