On Wednesday an excavator was digging through debris at the back of a building that housed the Turnagain CrossFit gym. In the front, other equipment operators were removing snow from the roof. The building on East 76th Avenue was the scene of a partial roof collapse last Friday that killed Sadie Huffer, who was attending a fitness competition inside. Chuck Dunn drove the excavator that uncovered Huffer's body. He said it's been tough to be at the site ever since. "Every day has been emotional, even just the guys coming in here and sweeping, it's been a teary-eyed thing," Dunn said. "Looking at someone's business that was destroyed, but also a loss of life from someone who was doing a healthy habit." Dunn, a general contractor who works for the building's owner, is working with structural engineers and the city to try and figure out what happened.

On May 30, 1963, fire claimed one of Tacoma's oldest and grandest structures. "On some level I think everybody felt like wow this was a gut shot," said historian Michael Sullivan. The fire broke out at the Music Box during a matinee screening of Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds." "There was an old bearing and a fan in an old projector room that caught fire," said University of Washington Tacoma historian Kim Davenport. "And it was so high in the building it spread to everything under the rooftop before there was anyway the firefighters could get to it." Moviegoers got out safely only to witness a smoking spectacle from the sidewalk: history going up in flames. It was an event all captured on film preserved by retired Tacoma firefighter Matt Holm who contacted Tacoma Home Movies filmmaker Mick Flaan after seeing a story about his restoration of home movies on KING 5 Evening.

VIDEO: After nearly 20 years of delays and planning, Fire Station 18 in northwest Fresno is now up and running after Wednesday's ribbon cutting. For the past 17 years, firefighters at Fire Station 18 have been working out of a three-bedroom home but now they have one of the most advanced firehouses in the valley. "It was a typical residential home and it was very comfortable like a resident home should be but it wasn't up to the standard where we should be at," said Fresno Fire Captain Wiley Erickson. Wednesday's grand opening comes, after years of planning and construction the crew of Fire Station 18 received a new state-of-the-art firehouse. The station will not only improve community response it is also safer due to its advanced technology. "This fire station has a ramp-up alert system that gets progressively louder studies have shown that this new method releases psychological and cardiovascular stress," said Fresno Mayor Jerry Dyer.

The FDNY is proposing to raise the price of an ambulance ride by over 50 percent. The cost of a ride, that is called through 911, would go up from $900 to nearly $1,400. There would also be an increase in charges per mile to the hospital from $15 to $20. The department says the hike is needed because of inflation, as well as a pay bump for EMS workers. It handles about 70 percent of the city's hospital transports. Costs for advanced life support emergency transports, which require more highly-trained paramedics, could see similar increases. The last price increase was in 2021, when the price for an ambulance ride ticked up 16% from $775 to $900. Final decisions about this proposal will be made in late March. If the ambulance price hike is approved, the change would go into effect in the spring.

A bill to make it easier for New Mexico firefighters to legally use medical marijuana got off to a hot start Friday. House Bill 292 would narrow the definition of "safety-sensitive position" in the Lynn and Erin Compassionate Use Act, which governs the state's medical cannabis program. As proposed, the definition would only include employees who are required to carry a firearm or operate a vehicle with a commercial driver's license and "whose performance under the influence of drugs or alcohol would constitute an immediate or direct threat of injury or death to the person or another." State law currently defines a "safety-sensitive position" ineligible for the medical cannabis program more broadly, barring firefighters from using medical cannabis without their employer's permission.

VIDEO: The annual Guns ‘N Hoses event at Enterprise Center presented a huge check Wednesday from last year's event. The event raised one million dollars for the BackStoppers this past November. "That's two years in a row at a million dollars, and how they've supported us," said Chief Ron Battelle, executive director of the BackStoppers. "My reaction to that is thank you to the community for all they did to support us." For the second year in a row, the boxing match, which features St. Louis police, firefighters, and EMTs going toe to toe, was carried live on FOX 2. It is also the second year in a row that a million dollars have been raised for the nonprofit that assists first responder families. "We had the opportunity to get involved with the stations in 2019," said Kurt Krueger, general manager of KTVI and KPLR 11.
