Forrest Kuiper, a fire chief with the University of Alaska Fairbanks, was eating breakfast at home on a Sunday morning when his cellphone buzzed. It was a notification from PulsePoint, a free smartphone application that sends alerts to people within a 1-mile radius of a potentially life-threatening emergency to recruit their assistance before paramedics arrive. Municipal emergency officials in Anchorage say they're planning to make the service available in the city by December. They're currently in a planning stage and choosing which application to use, according to Anchorage Fire Department assistant chief Bill Kays. The idea behind the app is that the sooner a person experiencing sudden cardiac arrest gets help — even if it's just a few minutes before emergency responders arrive — the more likely that person will survive.

Meg Thordarson from Capital City Fire and Rescue joined Angel Montgomery on Capital Chat Friday to talk about the Halloween festivities. Meg Thordarson gave information about the Haunted House. "Dates are October 21st, October 22nd, October 28th, and 29th. $5 to get in and we're really excited about doing it this year because we haven't done it for the last two years. It starts at 5:30 until 9:30 p.m." ... "This year we have the Coast Guard they're going to help us out. Some of their members are going to participate in the haunted house as well as they're going to set up a food tent. So they'll have hot chocolate and cider and popcorn and cotton candy available for sale." Thordarson noted that they leave the appropriate level age group up to parents, and it is a family event.

Evansville and Henderson fire crews are on the scene of a business fire at the corner of East Franklin Street and Morton Ave. Firefighters say they saw smoke coming from the Morton Warehouse as they approached the building and were able to determine it was coming from the warehouse. Evansville police are also on the scene. EFD are calling the fire a "defensive fire," and are currently working to prevent further spread of the blaze. Since it's ignition around 5 a.m., the fire has spread to multiple nearby structures and a building has collapsed. The Department of Transportation has closed the Lloyd Expressway near 41 and it is advised that commuters avoid the area.

A recently retired firefighter is using social media to give people a front row seat to the local action. From car fires, truck fires, house fires, Albuquerque firefighters have seen it all. "Wildfires are a big thing here now, hazardous material calls, medical calls, the old fallen and I can't get up thing. No, we pick up grandmas and grandpas in the middle of the night pretty frequently," said Eric Knight a retired Albuquerque firefighter. Knight saw it all for more than two decades. He retired from the department last year, but is still part of the Albuquerque Retirees Association, and works with the local firefighters union. "I've lived here my whole life, so I've always wanted to work for Albuquerque," said Knight. And he's grown to love to document the work too. He's the face behind "afdfirewire" on Instagram. "Early in my career I was told to try and document it," said Knight.
