| Troopers say Metlakatla resident dies after going back into trailer fire to find his dog A Metlakatla resident died after attempting to save his dog from a residential trailer fire Tuesday morning, troopers said. Alaska State Troopers posted an online dispatch Wednesday stating the Metlakatla Volunteer Fire Department responded to a residential trailer fire around 4 a.m. Tuesday. Initially, everyone inside the trailer managed to escape the flames, according to the dispatch. However, a resident returned to the trailer in search of a dog. He never made it out, troopers said. Upon the department's arrival, firefighters found the trailer heavily engulfed in flames. After firefighters brought the fire under control, they found the resident inside the trailer. The release added that an Alaska Department of Public Safety deputy fire marshal will conduct an origin and cause investigation. KTUU-TV NBC 2 ANCHORAGE Division of Forestry: Melting snow brings fire risk, burn permits required starting today With snow still on the ground, the end of winter might seem a ways off, but the Alaska Division of Forestry is looking ahead to this year's wildland fire season and reminding residents that burn permits are required starting Thursday. On April 1, permits are required for anyone burning materials including brush piles, burn barrels, maintained lawns and agricultural burning, according to a Wednesday press release from the Alaska Department of Natural Resources. Burn permits are free, and can be picked up in person from regional Division of Forestry offices in in Delta Junction, Fairbanks, Glennallen, Haines, Ketchikan, Palmer, Soldotna and Tok. They can also be obtained from local fire departments, or printed off online. Division of Forestry Information Officer Tim Mowry said he knows Alaskans are eager to see winter come to an end and the snow to melt, but he urged caution as spring approaches.

| VIDEO: Fire truck hit by SUV, crashes into gas station on Detroit's east side A fire truck crashed into a gas station Wednesday after colliding with an SUV on Detroit's east side. According to Detroit police, at about 6:50 p.m. Wednesday a fire truck was traveling westbound on E. Outer Drive near Dequindre Street with lights and sirens activated when a Lincoln Navigator crashed into the truck. Video shows the fire truck then collided with a Dodge Ram parked at a gas station and then a gas pump, causing a fire. Police say the driver of the Lincoln lost control of their vehicle following the crash and struck a pole. "You see people running ... I saw the fire truck run up on the curb, I saw it hit the gas station. People just started running like it was going to be an explosion," said witness James Dorsey. Three firefighters, the driver and passenger of the Lincoln and the driver and passenger of the Dodge were all taken to the hospital, where they were being treated for minor injuries. WDIV-TV NBC 4 DETROIT Fireboat stations receive major upgrades to tackle emergencies at California port PHOTOS: Renovations are nearly complete to Fireboat Station No. 15, the Long Beach Fire Department's 20,000-square-foot facility equipped to handle maritime emergencies at the Port of Long Beach, officials announced this week. The upgrades include advanced communications technology, a workshop where crews can maintain and repair gear, modern living quarters for a six-member team and a garage large enough to house a fire engine and a second emergency vehicle. From the outside, the most noticeable feature is the protruding red and white roof that will protect the station's 11,200-square-foot boat bay from adverse weather. This is the first fireboat station with a protective roof in the port's history, officials said. The facility will house the fire department's fireboat named Vigilance. Construction of the new fireboat station began in the spring of 2019, port spokesman Lee Peterson said. LONG BEACH POST NEWS 5 firefighters, EMS worker injured in blaze at New York factory VIDEO: Five firefighters and an EMS worker were injured in a large fire at a factory on Staten Island. More than 200 firefighters responded Wednesday as the blaze at 60 Davidson Street quickly grew to a 5-alarm fire around 2:30 p.m. The flames were mostly out by 5 p.m., but smoke could still be seen from several miles away. The fire was under control shortly after 7:30 p.m. Firefighters were able to keep the flames from spreading to nearby homes. Officials say five firefighters suffered minor injuries and an EMS worker was seriously hurt. The FDNY says there were workers in the building when the fire started, but all of them have been accounted for. The cause of the fire is not yet clear. WABC-TV ABC 7 NEW YORK West Virginia fire department working to identify inequity in city neighborhoods One local fire department is doing much more than just putting out fires. Officials with the Charlottesville Fire Department have been working hard over the past year to identify inequity in city neighborhoods. CFD is split into three sections, one of which is the Community Risk Reduction Branch. Its goal is to prevent emergencies before they happen. "It's all about providing the right services to the right people at the right place and at the right time," said Deputy Chief Joe Powers of the Community Risk Reduction Branch. The branch is where the department tries to prevent emergencies, specifically in 19 city neighborhoods that are the most in need. "Using data we have both within the fire department and outside of the fire department, we can start to dive deep into those neighborhoods to tell the story of the risks and challenges that our city and residents are facing every day," said Powers WCAV-TV CBS/FOX 19 CHARLOTTESVILLE 'An interesting challenge': Project in Maine will use paramedics to improve rural health care access About 45 minutes away from Jackman on U.S. Route 201, cellphone reception drops. On this long stretch of road, surrounded by pine trees and the occasional pothole, the term "rural" takes on a new meaning. A logging truck passes by every few minutes, but other than that, it's quiet. Nestled among rolling hills is the small town of Jackman, made up of about 1,000 people -- maybe less. The downtown is lined by a couple of rundown homes and gas stations. On the left-hand side, is the only health care option in the area -- Jackman Community Health Center. Across the nation, the pandemic has taken a toll on health care systems, as they struggle to keep up with the surge in patients. That problem isn't specific to the coronavirus in rural areas, though. Over the years, the Jackman Community Health Center has had a difficult time recruiting full-time medical assistants and physicians. NEWS CENTER MAINE PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
