| Firefighters, aircraft work on new T'eedriinjik Fire fire northwest of Venetie Firefighters and aircraft battle a new wildfire about 3 miles northwest of Venetie in northeastern Alaska. The T'eedriinjik Fire (#380), estimated at 40 acres, involves 12 smokejumpers, two Fire Boss airplanes, four BLM Alaska Fire Service specialists, a helicopter, and a firefighter coordinating efforts from an airplane Sunday afternoon. While the fire is not currently threatening any structures, numerous Native allotments are nearby. Reported around 3:15 p.m. by Venetie residents, the fire is burning through tundra with some isolated torching and spotting a short distance ahead of the main fire. It is located on Indigenous lands just north of the Teedrinjik River (formerly Chandalar River). ALASKA WILDLAND FIRE INFORMATION A Yakutat-bound charter flight is missing after leaving Juneau on Saturday Coast Guard staff are searching for a missing charter flight that left Juneau on Saturday bound for Yakutat but never reached its destination. There were three people on board, but Coast Guard public affairs officer Mike Salerno said they do not know anything more about them. The missing plane is a Beechcraft Bonanza, according to a Coast Guard social media post. Coast Guard spokesperson Shannon Kearney said the initial call about an overdue plane came in at 5:40 p.m. on Saturday. The agency issued a marine broadcast just after 6 p.m. and sent out the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Reef Shark about half an hour later. Later, they launched a MH-60T helicopter from Sitka and a C130 from Kodiak and have partnered with Alaska State Troopers and the Alaska Rescue Coordination Center to search for the plane.

| VIDEO: 4 Dallas firefighters injured after engine hydroplanes, falls off bridge PHOTOS: Four Dallas firefighters were hospitalized after their engine slid off an elevated roadway and landed on the DART tracks below. The accident on the I-345 Expressway, which connects I-45 and US-75, and South Good Latimer happened just after 6 a.m. Dallas police say the fire engine hydroplaned, lost control and went off the bridge. All four DFR members are said to be stable at Baylor University Medical Center. A highway sign fell across the roadway as a result of the crash. Parts of I-345, South Good Latimer, Routh Street and the DART tracks were closed. DART says service will continue to be impacted on Monday morning into the afternoon and possibly later depending on the damage. Dallas Fire-Rescue says three of the four injured firefighters have been released from the hospital. KDFW-TV FOX 4 DALLAS EMS in Minnesota seeks paramedic diversity to boost outcomes for minority patients Infinity Beatty-Metcalfe's graduation from Hennepin Healthcare's paramedic trainee program on Friday may have been destiny, but it was a delayed one for the 31-year-old. She pushed herself after growing up in foster care to become an emergency medical technician (EMT) at 19. But Beatty-Metcalfe burned out from the intensity and frequency of ambulance runs in St. Louis. She had been inspired after witnessing the heroism of paramedics who brought a baby born prematurely to a hospital by helicopter. But paramedic training seemed impossible while working to pay bills and starting a family. "That's a lot of balls to balance," Beatty-Metcalfe said. Her struggle is exactly why Hennepin Healthcare's emergency medical services (EMS) division created its trainee program in 2020, paying EMTs to work part time while completing accelerated paramedic training.
