| Research and support vessel catches fire in Homer boatyard On Thursday, Jan. 19 fire service responders from across the Kenai Peninsula service area responded to a fire on the R/V Qualifier in the Northern Enterprises Boatyard on Kachemak Drive. "Almost every fire department in the Southern Kenai Peninsula was at the scene," vessel owner Dave Mastolier told the Homer News in a phone interview. The fire was first reported by crew members on board the vessel. "We have safety protocols in place, and our crewman followed it to a T. And everybody got off the boat fine," Mastolier said. The crew capacity for the boat is usually five, with an additional eight to 12 researchers on board, he said. The 105-foot Qualifier's primary duty typically is creating hydrographic surveys, charts for NOAA and contract work with other government agencies. The boat is part of the fleet operated by Support Vessels of Alaska, the company owned by Mastolier and partner Jared Bradshaw. HOMER NEWS PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| Risk management experts, fire chiefs join battle on catastrophic fires If Frank Frievalt was a guest on the old "What's My Line" game show, it's likely the panelists would guess he's a property and casualty insurance executive. Frievalt can expound knowledgeably and passionately about such things as property loss calculations, disaster risk assessments, actuarial tables, and wildfire mitigation efficacy. But while he admittedly sounds like an insurance exec sometimes, he is actually senior policy advisor for the Western Fire Chiefs Association, a non-profit that represents fire-related emergency service organizations throughout the west coast and Western Pacific Islands. He is also fire chief of the Mammoth Lakes, Calif., fire department. But the fact Frievalt's interests and job frequently align with the insurance industry was made clear this month when the Fire Chiefs Association announced a strategic alliance with Milliman, a global leader in risk management for insurers and others, to "intelligently drive down risk in the Wildland-Urban Interface." INSURANCE NEWS NET Investigators to look into cause of deadly Chicago fire that spread to multiple floors of high-rise VIDEOS: Chicago firefighters were back on the scene of a deadly high-rise fire early Thursday morning, and investigators are expected to start trying to determine a cause of the blaze. One woman died and nine others were hurt in the incident, including a firefighter, at an apartment building on South Lake Park Avenue Wednesday morning. The fire broke out in the 15th floor of the 25-story Harper Square Co-Op building in the 4800-block of South Lake Park Avenue just after 10 a.m. Wind caused the fire to spread very quickly, going vertically from floor to floor all the way up to the 24th floor. It took hundreds of firefighters to knock out the flames, and the elevators were out, so all of the equipment had to be lifted up manually. One woman was killed, found on the 15th floor. Eight other residents were injured. WLS-TV ABC 7 CHICAGO Uber for EMS, Israeli-modeled program will be tested in Iowa VIDEO: Call it Uber for EMS – at least that's what Lt. Gov. Adam Gregg calls it. An Iowa pilot program plans to give two EMS providers $50,000 each to use an app to notify nearby first responders to quickly respond to an emergency before an ambulance can arrive. Providers can now apply for the grant and must match it with $25,000 of their own money. "Hopefully, we'll have a couple of communities that can take advantage of technology to really reduce the response time," Gov. Kim Reynolds told Chief Political Reporter Amanda Rooker in a one-on-one interview last week. "It's similar to a model that the Lt. Governor had seen when he did a trade trip to Israel." KCCI-TV CBS 8 DES MOINES YouTuber Buys $1.5 Million Fire-Damaged Tennessee Mansion VIDEO/PHOTO: Mike Thakur, content creator/YouTuber, has purchased one of the most talked about home listings, reports WSMV. It's a Franklin mansion that has extensive fire damage and was listed for $1.5 million. The listing went viral, receiving 1 million views on Zillow and shared on the account Zillow Gone Wild. Thakur didn't disclose how much he purchased the home for but will be documenting the renovation of the home on YouTube. Due to the fire damage, the home was listed "as is" for $1.5 million. On Zillow, the listing stated, "TRAGIC TOTAL LOSS by FIRE, of a CLASSIC MANSION !!! Sold As is !! Rare opportunity to own approx 5 acres with 2 existing homes on this one site in Williamson County. Five mins from I-65. Guest home is included and was not touched by the fire." DAVIDSON COUNTY SOURCE Digital reporting tool in Florida aims to protect fire investigators, boost public safety After a fire, investigators charged with determining the cause of the blaze sometimes stumble on unstable surfaces, breathe in toxins, or face other health and safety risks. But they had no central place to document their exposure to hazards at work, and researchers had no central place to evaluate that data to try to mitigate those risks — until now. This week, researchers with Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center are launching an online tool that allows fire investigators to voluntarily document accidents and near misses — part of an effort to improve conditions for the first responders who are vital to public safety. The outreach comes from the Firefighter Cancer Initiative, housed at Sylvester at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, the only National Cancer Institute-designated center in South Florida.
