A fire that started on Thursday evening destroyed the power plant located at the Ayaprun School in the village of Newtok in Southwest Alaska. An Alaska Division of Homeland Security report issued Friday morning says that a fire occurred at the school around 6:30 p.m. Thursday that damaged the power plant at Newtok's Ayaprun School. In a region prone to extreme weather and environmental emergencies due to climate change, Ayaprun School principal Dawn Lloyd was not surprised to see Newtok villagers spring into action when the fire broke out. "All the villagers come out to try to help. I mean, they're good people, and they will rally when there's an emergency," Lloyd said. "It burned up until about midnight, which is when we — the last couple of us — finally put out the fire by throwing snow at it."  

Fire crews responded to a two-alarm apartment fire in Oakland's Cox neighborhood early Sunday morning, according to the Oakland Fire Department. Crews were called to the fire on the 9500 block of Birch Street and safely evacuated all parties inside of the residence. The property will be salvageable after the blaze, OFD said. Video from the scene shows fire crews arrive at the two-story apartment complex that is fully engulfed in flames. Multiple firefighters in full gear them climb up the stairs, dragging a fire hose along beside them. Seconds later, crews were hosing water onto the structure.  

VIDEO/PHOTOS: The Tulsa Fire Department says two firefighters suffered no life-threatening injuries after being hit by a car on Highway 75 Sunday night. In a social post, TFD said a vehicle approaching the scene of a crash near 1100 southbound on Highway 75 lost control and crashed into the original car the firefighters were working on. TFD said an OHP officer and the citizen in the original crashed car narrowly escaped, but the two firefighters were hit. The firefighters are being treated at a local hospital and were "banged up," but "Thankfully, both will be ok."  

VIDEO: The Fort Dodge Fire Department is using a new tool to fight fires. The department's new fire cameras are small, lightweight cameras that are mounted to their helmets. They capture footage that most people have never seen before, and that footage could help make firefighting safer in Fort Dodge. "To have that small, little device on that helmet, that the firefighter doesn't even know it's there, is quite a change," Chief Steve Hergenreter said. Hergenreter never dreamed of this type of technology when he began fighting fires 34 years ago. "Fires happen so fast. And you don't remember a lot of things, so the helmet camera really shows how things happened in the fire," Hergenreter said. "It's made specifically for firefighters," firefighter and paramedic Mychal Edler said.  

VIDEO: Sunday marks the 20th anniversary of an explosion that changed Lenoir County forever. In 2003, a blast at a manufacturing facility killed six people and hurt 30 others. WITN talked with first responders and survivors as they look back at a day that will stay with them forever. "I didn't hear [anything]. Everything turned white, and that was it," said Jim Edwards, who was working the day of the explosion. January 29th, 2003 is not an easy day for him to remember. It's the day he lost his eyesight - the day six co-workers were killed and nearly 40 hurt in a massive explosion at West Pharmaceutical. Edwards remembers waving for rescuers to help him. We've caught up with him over the years to check on his progress. "I was burnt, 63 percent of my body. I hurt every day for about six months," he explained.
