| Alaska Army Guard, Fairbanks Fire Department help rescue man in medical distress near Anderson Alaska Army National Guard's G Company, 2nd Battalion, 211th Aviation Regiment, and medical personnel from the Fairbanks Fire Department rescued a man in urgent need of medical care 10 miles southwest of Anderson Jan. 2. Alaska Air National Guard Maj. Kevin Kelly, Alaska Rescue Coordination Center deputy director, said the Alaska State Troopers requested support from the AKRCC in transporting a distressed man during severe weather. The AST required assistance from the AKARNG because of its capabilities flying in high winds using night vision goggles. The man's residence is accessible only through a trail commonly traversed by snow machines, with his own inoperable because of the freezing temperatures. Two days without power, failing generators and an extreme snowstorm inhibited his ability to use his oxygen tank supply or access medical care. US ARMY PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| Wisconsin firefighters battle blaze at North End warehouse PHOTOS: Flames from a warehouse engulfed in fire in the North End district could be seen throughout the city early Thursday morning. Firefighters battled the fire in brutal conditions. As of 8:45 a.m., the temperature was 10 degrees below zero, with wind chill at 22 degrees below zero, according to the National Weather Service in Duluth. The Blatnik Bridge to and from Superior was closed due to the affect of smoke on motorists' visibility, but reopened shortly before 9 a.m., according to a news release from the Superior Police Department. The police department advised the public that road closures may change. The roof is gone and the walls began to collapse on the four-story brick building, located at 1507 N. First St. The warehouse is listed for sale on the Follmer Commercial Real Estate website for $795,000. DULUTH NEWS TRIBUNE Medical University of South Carolina exploring use of MRI in ambulance to help stroke patients The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) and Georgetown County Fire/EMS recently teamed up to test the feasibility of conducting an MRI scan in the back of a moving ambulance. The goal, according to MUSC, was to "cut down the steps that need to happen between the time a stroke patient is wheeled through the ambulance bay until the treatment can begin." Doctors went into the project with the assumption that the sooner an MRI was performed, the better the patient outcome, especially for those experiencing oxygen deprivation. Dr. Christine Holmstedt, who serves as MUSC's Medical Director for Clinical Stroke Services, explained that "for every 15-minute reduction in ‘door-to-needle time,' there's a significant improvement in patient outcomes, including reduction in disabilities and reduction in mortality." WSPA-TV CBS 7 SPARTANBURG Florida fire department awarded 9/11 Survivor Tree sapling The DeLand Fire Department has been awarded a sapling from the 9/11 Survivor Tree. The sapling has been planted on the southwest side of the new DeLand Fire Station 81 at 343 W. Howry Ave.. The 343 address number represents the 343 firefighters who were killed on 9/11. Each year, saplings from the 9/11 Survivor Tree are awarded to communities that have faced significant hardship. The DeLand Fire Department was awarded the sapling following the loss of Chief Daniel Hanes in 2018 and the F-2 tornado that struck the city in 2020. The sapling given to the DeLand Fire Department was picked up in New York by firefighters from the Saint Augustine Fire Department, which was also awarded a sapling. All of the saplings are direct descendants of the Callery pear tree that was recovered and rehabilitated from the rubble at Ground Zero following the terrorist attacks on 9/11. THE WEST VOLUSIA BEACON Deadly duplex fire takes toll on Pennsylvania community, first responders It's been an incredibly difficult day for Philadelphia and for firefighters who responded to a deadly duplex fire on Wednesday morning. "I'm not doing well at all. I mean personally, I have a job to do, this is what we do, but we are human beings just like everybody else," said Captain Derek Bowmer, the executive chief of the Philadelphia Fire Department. Fire officials said eight children are among at least 12 dead after a house fire erupted in the Fairmount section of the city on Wednesday morning, the deadliest fire in the city in more than a century. Bowmer and all of the first responders on scene know what they signed up for -- to make saves, he said, and to put the fire out. First responders are there to help and when they can't, the tragedy takes a toll on them. WPVI-TV ABC 6 PHILADELPHIA Massive anonymous donation to provide furnishings to multiple Georgia fire stations Atlanta firefighters will get new washers, dryers and furnishings thanks to an anonymous donor gifting $150,000 to the Atlanta Fire Rescue Foundation's Fire Station Fund. This most recent contribution is the largest ever in the history of the Fire Station Fund and will give four Atlanta Fire Rescue Stations in the neighborhoods of Buckhead and Southwest Atlanta the resources to make improvements and upgrades to the interiors of the fire rescue stations. This includes new furnishings and state-of-the-art washing machines and dryers that help remove carcinogens and other hazardous materials from a firefighter's turnout gear to further protect their health and safety. "Our programs like the Fire Station Fund allow community partners to reinvest in their neighborhoods in the name of public safety," AFRF executive director Shirley Anne Smith said.
