| Fatal house fire in Sutton A man from Sutton died after a residential fire late Tuesday night. Alaska State Troopers (AST) along with firefighters responded to the call on Prospector Circle shortly after 11 p.m. Five hours later at 4 a.m. they located a deceased person near the burned house, who was identified as 59-year-old Sutton resident Kevin Vance. It was determined that Vance died after escaping from the burning building. Troopers say this was possibly due to exposure from the frigid outdoor temperatures, which were in the single digits below zero that night. The remains will be sent to the State Medical Examiner's Office in Anchorage, where the cause of death will be determined. Next of kin has been notified, and AST will continue investigating along with the Deputy Fire Marshal. Troopers say that currently no foul play is suspected. KTVF-TV NBC 11 FAIRBANKS 2 Anchorage commercial roof collapses reported Anchorage firefighters have responded to two partial collapses of commercial roofs in two days this week, as the city sets seasonal snowfall records. Both buildings were occupied during the collapses but everyone got out safely and no injuries were reported, according to Anchorage Fire Department spokeswoman Lexi Trainer. Firefighters responded to the latest collapse, at the automotive accessory business Safe & Sound in the 7400 block of the Old Seward Highway just north of East 76th Avenue, at about 11:30 a.m. Wednesday. Trainer said crews from the Anchorage Water & Wastewater Utility also responded. "There was a large amount of water in the street and we did end up having to call AWWU," Trainer said.

| VIDEO: Kentucky volunteer firefighter rolls out of burning house on fire after flashover A Williamstown volunteer firefighter is recovering after being caught in a ceiling collapse and flashover at a fire that broke out on Humes Ridge Road Tuesday evening. Matt Combs is seen on the body cam of another firefighter rolling out of the burning building, still on fire. "Matt's coming out of the structure. His gear is on fire. You can see the fire dripping off from some of his helmet," said Williamstown Chief Les Whalen. Crews watered down the flames on his gear and then sent him to UC Medical Center. Combs was treated and released. He was back at the fire station Wednesday for a short time even though he's still treating second-degree burns. The video was from a body camera worn by Williamstown volunteer firefighter Jordan Jump. WLWT-TV NBC 5 CINCINNATI Family inspired to push for new Colorado license plate design after firefighter's death A Colorado woman and her family have made a petition to create a fallen firefighter specialty license plate in honor of her husband who died in 2021. Yuma firefighter Darcy Stallings was responding to a fire in October 2021 when he was involved in a deadly car crash. Darcy was described as a highly respected firefighter and a person who loved every minute of his job. Darcy grew up in Yuma and started many businesses in his community. Now, his family wants to create a license plate with the help of the Colorado Fallen Firefighters Foundation to honor those who have lost their lives protecting the people and property of Colorado. They need signatures from Colorado drivers to see their dream become a reality. KDVR-TV FOX 31 DENVER 3 dead and 9 injured after hangar collapse near Idaho airport VIDEO: A hangar collapse at Rickenbacker Street and Luke Street near the Boise Airport left three people dead and nine people injured Wednesday evening, according to a Boise Fire Department news release. Boise Fire said the incident occurred around 5 p.m. when a privately owned hangar was under construction and collapsed. When they arrived at the scene, they said due to the nature of the collapse, they rescued several victims. Five of the nine injured are in critical condition and all are being treated at local hospitals, Boise Fire said. "Tonight, there was a catastrophic collapse of a metal structure at a construction site. First responders found a hectic scene and worked to secure and rescue victims," said Division Chief of Operations Aaron Hummel. KTVB-TV NBC 7 BOISE One Washington county now using nurses for non-emergency medical calls to 911 Snohomish County has a new tool for 911 response that will help free up emergency responders. It's called the Snohomish County Nurse Navigation Program. A nurse will now handle some medical calls. If a 911 call comes in that's considered a non-emergency, the caller will be directed to a nurse who will help them decide the best course of action, such as a virtual visit with a doctor or a trip to a clinic or urgent care center. The program will keep more first responders available for emergencies. "If you call 911 for a medical issue, typically an ambulance transports you to a hospital emergency room, but the emergency room may not be the right place to receive the right care for your situation," said Everett Fire Chief Dave DeMarco.
