| Fairbanks first responders prepare for 9/11 stair climb memorial VIDEO: On the day of September 11, 2001, hundreds of heroic first responders responded to the tragedy at the Twin Towers. Among these were 343 firefighters who gave their lives. "And we are able to continue this honor and tradition of doing the stair climb in remembrance of the 343 firefighters that perished," said University Fire Department Captain David Mattox. Here in Fairbanks, local firefighters remember these fallen heroes by climbing in their footsteps—the equivalent of the 110 stories of stairs in the world trade center. "A couple years ago a couple of firefighters from a couple of departments got together and decided that we needed to have some kind of memorial stair climb like is held in most states," Mattox explained. "Something that gives us an opportunity to remember our fallen brothers and sisters from that horrible day on 9/11." KTVF-TV NBC 11 FAIRBANKS PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| VIDEO: Firefighter transported to hospital, expected to be OK after barn in Florida erupts in flames Nearly 50 firefighters were dispatched to a massive barn fire in Parkland, where one firefighter was later transported to a hospital after showing signs of heat exhaustion. The firefighter is expected to be OK. The incident happened at around 5 a.m. Monday, when units received a call concerning a barn and guest house fire. Aerial video from 7Skyforce showed flames engulfing the structure located along the 7300 block of Northwest 82nd Terrace. A neighbor was the first one to notice the flames and called 911. "I called 911 and then I tried to call my neighbor across the street and they didn't answer. So I ran over there and I knocked, I rang the doorbell, I was banging on windows and I finally got them up and I got them out of the house because I know how close their barn is to their house and I was afraid that their house would go up also," said Maxine Gutman. WSVN-TV FOX 7 MIAMI Toxic fire-suppressing foam officially decommissioned and replaced at Maine airport fire station VIDEO: As part of a national effort to eradicate the use of a fire-suppressing foam containing PFAS, officials removed the last of the toxic foam from the fire trucks at the Bangor International Airport and replaced it with a PFAS-free solution. Positioned next to the airport's runway is the 101st Air Refueling Wing Fire Protection Unit. During the morning of Friday, September 6th, personnel from the 101st Air Refueling Wing Emergency Response Services ceremoniously removed the PFAS-filled Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) from one of the truck's tank. Being the last truck that contained AFFF, Friday effectively ended the toxic foam from ever being used again as a fire suppressor at the Bangor International Airport. AFFF contains the harmful forever chemicals PFAS.

Chesterfield firefighters responded to a call regarding a fire. When firefighters opened the oven, they found a gun inside. Officials said someone turned the oven on with the gun inside. The gun overheated and five rounds went off, WWBT reported. "Please do not store guns or anything else in your oven," Chesterfield Fire and EMS said in a social media post. Thankfully, no one was hurt. "Keep them somewhere secure, like a gun safe," officials said. WALA-TV FOX 10 MOBILE FDNY and NYPD members follow in the paths of heroic 9/11 dads PHOTOS: When the North Tower collapsed on 9/11, Thomas Gambino III knew in his gut that his father, FDNY Firefighter Thomas Gambino Jr., was dead. At his father's funeral, he knew what he'd be doing the rest of his life. The younger Gambino, who was 20 at the time, is one of more than 75 sons and daughters of the 343 FDNY members lost on 9/11 — or later succumbed to Ground Zero-related diseases — who went on to become firefighters or medics. "I was actually supposed to go surfing with my friends and for whatever reason we had a late night and I didn't get up that morning," Gambino III, 43, told The Post. "I could hear the phone ringing in the kitchen of the house. I still lived at home. And it just kept ringing and ringing. I was like all right, I'm getting up." It was his friends calling to tell him to turn on his TV. NEW YORK POST PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
