| 5 people rescued following plane crash on Lake Iliamna near Newhalen A rescue operation was activated on Saturday following a plane crash on Iliamna Lake near Newhalen. The Alaska State Troopers wrote in a dispatch that they were notified of an Emergency Location Transmitter on the ice of Lake Iliamna. Troopers wrote that Wildlife Troopers launched a helicopter form King Salmon and assisted the Alaska Air National Guard and the U.S. Coast Guard with the rescue of all five people on board, four passengers and one pilot. Helicopters arrived at approximately 6 p.m. and hoisted all five people from the wreckage, who were then taken to hospitals in Anchorage by LifeMed and Air Guard fixed-wing aircraft. National Transportation Safety Board spokesperson Clint Johnson said that the Cessna 206 crashed during a flight from Levelock to Port Alsworth was diverted to Iliamna due to weather.

| Rural homeowner in Idaho uses tractor to tow fire engine uphill to fight house fire PHOTOS: Rural firefighters had to get creative while fighting a house fire in a remote area Saturday night. Swan Valley Fire Department spokeswoman Kat Brainard said the call came in around 9:15 p.m. at 224 Pine Creek Bench Road. A witness had spotted a chimney fire at the home that was spreading to other areas of the residence. The problem was that the home was located at the end of a steep, narrow one-mile driveway. Brainard said firefighters quickly realized their fire engine would not be able to get to the home due to the nature of the driveway. Firefighters and members of the community were in the process of moving things away from the blaze, when the homeowner arrived with a tractor to tow the fire engine from the bottom of the driveway to the home. "We don't always have what we need to get to a scene," Brainard said. "So we have to work with what there is." EAST IDAHO NEWS ‘We didn't know better': Toxic foam concerns follow firefighters through life Firefighters around the country are just starting the tedious process of removing firefighting foam that contains "forever chemicals." This toxic foam contains PFAS, or poly-fluoroalkyl substances, which can remain in the environment and in human bodies. This foam may cause health problems, including cancer. Firefighters have used this foam for more than 20 years to help them put out difficult fires, not knowing it could actually be hurting them. "We assumed this chemical was something that was not only effective on the fire ground but also safe to us," Denver Fire Capt. Greg Pixley said. In a methodical, step-by-step process, the Denver Fire Department is removing the foam known as AFFF, or aqueous film-forming foam. The fire engines can carry 25-50 gallons of the concentrate. They've called in a company that specializes in hazardous materials removal. They drain and flush all of the fire engines. WWLP-TV NBC/CW+ 22 SPRINGFIELD Firefighter transported to the hospital after raging fire at Tennessee hotel; Fire intentionally set VIDEOS: Memphis Fire Department arrived on the scene of an active fire at Baymont Inn hotel on the 6000 block of Shelby Oaks Drive Monday, March 7 at 12:57. According to an official statement released from MFD, the fire started when several mattresses were placed against the hotel building and intentionally set on fire. Massive flames spread across the building, reaching the third floor. One MFD firefighter was transported to Baptist East from heat exhaustion and is in non-critical condition. 30 people were displaced from their hotel rooms due to the fire. According to MFD, 118 personnel were involved in the response to the fire and it was pronounced under control nearly three and a half hours later, at 3:34am MFD advises drivers to avoid the area and that those traveling in the area should expect delays due to the ongoing investigation. WATN-TV ABC 24 MEMPHIS Related Video: Memphis hotel evacuated after catching fire Rash of electrical fires push FDNY to teach better safety The massive fires that seemed to engulf building after building in the borough back in the late 1970s and early ‘80s led many declaring the "Bronx is burning." In fact, it almost felt unusual to not use the word "fire" in conjunction with "Bronx," because the two had become so synonymous during that time. Yet, while times have changed, some things have remained the same. That's because over the last six months, a string of major fires has plagued the borough. But don't worry, none of that is lost on Michael Kozo. He's the director of the New York Fire Department's fire safety education unit, and has provided training presentations to just about any group that extends an invitation — including Community Board 8's housing committee back in January. "The information we give (at these meetings) are always increasing," Kozo said. THE RIVERDALE PRESS How many Americans have been infected with COVID-19? Nearly double what has been reported Arecent CDC study found that around 140 million Americans have been infected by the coronavirus, almost double the number regularly reported in national COVID-19 case counts. And while some experts say this increase in population immunity could help stem future surges, others remain cautious about potential new variants, as well as waning immunity in the future. For the study, CDC analyzed 72,000 blood samples collected by commercial labs nationwide between Dec. 27, 2021, and Jan. 29, 2022. The blood samples were originally sent to labs for reasons unrelated to COVID-19 but were also tested for coronavirus antibodies. The study counted each person only once and included only antibodies from natural infection, including asymptomatic cases. ADVISORY BOARD PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
