| Fire breaks out in Shishmaref, one building destroyed A fire broke out in Shishmaref late in the evening Tuesday, July 30, causing one residence to be destroyed. Despite winds in excess of 30 mph, the village of nearly 600 people appears to have been successful in stopping the spread of the fire to other nearby buildings. The fire began around 9 p.m. As smoke rose from the residence, locals flocked to the scene to provide support. People could be seen racing to fill up large plastic waste containers with water and loading them in carts to help extinguish the fire. The Nome Volunteer Fire Department (NVFD) mobilized to Shishmaref and arrived around 11:00 p.m. The blaze had mostly been extinguished by the time they arrived. A Facebook Live stream at 2:00 a.m. appeared to show NVFD putting out remaining hotspots in the debris created by the fire. KNOM-FM 96.1 NOME Anchorage Fire Department says teamwork helped save life of trailer fire victim VIDEO: Members of the Anchorage Fire Department said they were able to save a person from a zero-visibility trailer fire earlier this month due to exemplary teamwork. Responders said that during the July 18 fire, they were told there was no one inside the building located on Boundary Avenue. When they arrived, crews searched the building until they found the victim passed out in the bedroom. Emergency medical firefighters say that the person likely inhaled a lot of smoke before they arrived. Firefighters were able to get the victim out of the building, where they then administered life-saving measures. The person was sent to an Anchorage area hospital with serious injuries. The victim is confirmed to still be alive. The firefighters who responded are hesitant to call what they did heroic; most of them said that they did what their job required of them.

| Video Shows Fire In Oklahoma Living Room Starting After Dog Chews On Power Bank VIDEO: Home surveillance video from a Tulsa living room shows a dog chewing on a power bank with a lithium-ion battery inside. Suddenly, there is a flash, and a fire breaks out within minutes, leaving the two dogs and a cat in danger. "The thing that's important about this situation is how fast you see this fire progress," said Andy Little with the Tulsa Fire Department. "It begins at the top, those heated gases rise, and then, they slowly lower, and you can actually see the whole apartment darken down and then things start combusting in the house." Andy Little with the Tulsa Fire Department said what happened May 1st at that home could happen anywhere, and battery-related fires are more common. "What we know is that lithium-ion batteries, if their housing is damaged, they're exposed to extreme heat, or they somehow rupture, they can cause toxic gases, they can create fires and even explosions," said Little.

WXII-TV NBC 12 WINSTON-SALEM Tennessee fire command truck crashes into vehicles, building after driver passes out VIDEO/PHOTOS: A ‘medical emergency' caused a crash in Dandridge Wednesday morning after a firefighter passed out while driving. Dandridge Fire Chief Andy Riley shared that the driver and a lieutenant with the Dandridge Fire Department were out around 10:30 a.m. to do a weekly check of the department's fire boat in Douglas Lake when the driver passed out behind the wheel. The lieutenant grabbed the wheel and attempted to stop the truck, which was towing the boat on Gay Street, but the command truck crashed into a passenger van, another car, and the Jefferson County Finance Building.

WATE-TV ABC 6 KNOXVILLE San Francisco voters to decide whether to lower firefighters' retirement age San Francisco voters will decide in November whether to lower the retirement age from 58 to 55 for the city's firefighters, who risk cancer and death as part of their job. If more than half of voters on the Nov. 5 ballot approve the amendment to the city charter, members of the San Francisco Fire Department hired after Jan. 6, 2012, would secure more retirement benefits at an earlier age. Supervisor Catherine Stefani -- one of the supervisors who sought to tack the measure onto the ballot -- saw the measure as much-needed protection for firefighters. "I sponsored this charter amendment for a simple reason: We can and must do better to address the unacceptable cancer rates of our brave members of the fire department," she said during the board's regular meeting Tuesday.
