VIDEO: A heat source inside a tent led to an outdoor fire in a Campbell Park neighborhood that killed one person, officials with the Anchorage Fire Department say. The department said in a statement that the tent was part of a homeless encampment near Alpenhorn Avenue and Mockingbird Drive, which is situated near Bancroft Park and Alpine Apartment Homes. Authorities said officers with the Anchorage Police Department arrived to find the fire shortly before 7:30 a.m. with the "fire victim and a fire burning" in the woods about several hundred feet from the intersection. Fire crews showed up soon after and confirmed the person was dead. The statement said fire crews had the fire put out at about 7:40 a.m., approximately 15 minutes after APD officers first arrived.  

Gov. Gavin Newsom proclaimed a State of Emergency in Los Angeles County Saturday night to help facilitate cleanup and repairs after a massive storage yard fire shut down a portion of the 10 Freeway in both directions. The fire was first reported at 12:22 a.m. in the 1700 block of East 14th Street, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. It would eventually go on to burn 8 acres - the equivalent of six football fields. The first storage yard was 40,000-square-feet and was fully involved with flames that engulfed multiple trailers, the Fire Department said. The flames spread to a storage yard of similar size between Lawrence and Elwood streets, and consumed a fire engine that became stuck in their path. Several civilian vehicles were also destroyed by the inferno.  

VIDEO: Family and friends said FDNY Firefighter Billy Moon had the biggest heart. Thursday night, his widow, two young children and parents got to hear that heart again in the chest of the man who received it. Moon died after falling 20 feet during a training exercise in Brooklyn in December 2022. His wife Kristina Moon transferred him to LiveOnNY's Donor Care Unit at NYU Langone Health. Five of Moon's organs were transplanted into recipients. Thursday night, Moon's family got to meet 63-year-old Richard Grehl. He received Moon's heart just 10 days after going on the donor list. "I'm Rich, in more ways than one, thank you so much," he said when meeting Moon's widow. Kristina Moon used a stethoscope to hear her husband's heart in Grehl. "He was passionate. The passion comes from the heart, so to hear that heart is still beating is very emotional," Kristina Moon said.  

VIDEO: A small plane crashed into a car Saturday afternoon after making an emergency landing in McKinney, city officials said. The pilot, who flew from Midland and was trying to make the emergency landing at Aero County Airport, was unable to stop the plane at the end of the runway, officials added. It then went through a fence and onto eastbound Virginia Parkway, where it collided into a car driving by. Jack Schneider was working nearby and captured the entire accident on his phone. "I saw the airplane coming down the runway quickly and I knew that he wasn't gonna have time to stop. It was clearly going too fast, the tires were smoking… So I quickly pulled out my phone because I could tell something was about to happen," said Schneider.  

Ryan Griffin thinks he may be just a little bit of an adrenaline junkie. Griffin's job as a driver engineer for the Johnson City Fire Department seems to lend itself to the idea. "Fighting fire itself is definitely an adrenaline rush," Griffin said. "I don't wish a fire on anybody, but if there is a fire, I want to be there putting it out." Griffin joined the JCFD around 10 years ago, but his plan wasn't always to be a firefighter. Griffin's father had been a firefighter in Illinois, where Griffin is originally from, but he first decided to take a different path. "I grew up around it," Griffin said. "I always thought it was really cool, but I went off to college and got a degree in sports and recreation management and worked in that field for several years." Griffin worked in his chosen field for a while before eventually deciding to become a firefighter.
