| Cool and humid conditions moderate Interior fires A few days of dry and sunny weather fostered conditions for several new Interior fires last week, while cool and rainy weather later in the week helped to moderate the blazes. The Haystack Fire about 20 miles north of Fairbanks has grown to slightly over 900 acres and is 30% contained as of Saturday. Firefighters are continuing to secure the heel and western perimeter of the fire, which is still expanding slowly, according to an Alaska Division of Forestry statement. The east side of the fire has presented the greatest challenge due to steep and rough terrain. However, cool and humid temperatures on Thursday and Saturday helped firefighters, who are now mopping up hot spots and expanding the containment line around the fire. Another crew was flown in to help extinguish the Little Albert Creek Fire that started Wednesday near Central. FAIRBANKS NEWS-MINER PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| VIDEO: More than 70 people displaced following massive house fire in North Carolina Multiple fire crews in North Carolina responded to an oceanfront house fire overnight, that left several parked vehicles and other nearby homes damaged. The Kill Devil Hills Fire Department said it went to the 2000 block of South Virginia Dare Trail Saturday, June 20, just before 4 a.m. after getting a call about flames seen at the front of the house. According to a spokesperson, it was a 16-bedroom house and there were 42 people in it when the fire broke out. They had to evacuate. After the first report came in, the fire alarm assignment got upgraded to a second alarm. This happened as a result of the heavy flames that were showing when the first crew arrived. The spokesperson said there were four additional homes that also got damaged and the residents there had to relocate. WVEC-TV ABC 13 HAMPTON Fire Station 81 Shooting in California Prompts Department Workplace Trauma Discussion Prompted by the Fire Station 81 shooting that left one victim dead and another injured earlier this month, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors scheduled a motion Tuesday to address workplace trauma within the L.A. County Fire Department (LACFoD). Addressing the tragic Fire Station 81 workplace shooting just north of Santa Clarita, the L.A. County Board of Supervisors is scheduled to address the possible surge of mental health issues across Santa Clarita fire stations due to the incident on June 1. In a press conference on the day of the shooting, Fire Chief Daryl L. Osby acknowledged the "several suicides and unfortunately even a murder suicide" that have taken place by the hands of L.A. County firefighters during Osby's 37-years at the Department. KHTS-FM 98.1 SANTA CLARITA Family of Florida firefighters carries on 100 years of tradition VIDEO: Fathers and sons share a special bond from one generation to the next carrying on traditions and the family name. One local family, the Aldermans, has over 100 years of family tradition as first responders. The Aldermans recently watched their son take a big step in life. Daniel Alderman's wish for a dream job with Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department recently came true. "Whenever I was with my dad at the station I would always get on whatever apparatus," Daniel Alderman said. His father worked for JFRD too, as a firefighter, climbing the ranks to captain and division chief before retiring. For months, JFRD Chief Keith Powers knew about the wish for Daniel to join the ranks, and through a city program, he was able to make it happen. Powers called Daniel to share the good news. WJXT-TV 4 JACKSONVILLE Illinois fire department creates 'library boxes' to spread the word on safety The Mount Prospect Fire Department has launched a new initiative combining fire safety education with the tradition of summer reading. The department's new Fire Prevention Library Boxes, located outside all three fire stations, are filled with fire safety information, coloring books, bookmarks and other free items, as well as books that can be taken home, read and returned. "We recognize the importance of combining fire safety education with the benefits of reading," Fire Chief John Dolan said in an announcement of the new program. "My interest in the fire service started as a child reading the book 'The Monster at the End of This Book: Starring Lovable, Furry Old Grover' by Jon Stone. It taught me to always keep turning the page. Books are a wonderful way for adults and children alike to explore and learn." DAILY HERALD - METERED SITE New York: Ghostbusters of Buffalo dedicate new sign to Hook & Ladder Company 8 PHOTOS: Photos were sent of what looked like a happening at Hook & Ladder 8 last week and it sure was: the good folks at the Buffalo Ghostbusters dedicated a replacement Ghostbusters sign to the firehouse, since the nearly 40-year-old original was showing its wear and had lost a finger. But there's more, with a pandemic silver lining bonus: During the past year, with everything closed down, the Buffalo Ghostbusters — one of about 200 fan franchises across the country — were trying to stay active with their ectoplasmic activities while staying distant. So first they cooked up the idea of participating in kids birthday parades that became a thing in the suburbs in COVID — after all they just happen to have a few cool cars with flashing lights and costumed drivers. And then one of the 13 members got to thinking: why not launch a GoFundMe to replace the sign at N. Moore firehouse that they knew was in disrepair? TRIBECA CITIZEN PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
