| Ridgetop Fire reaches 100% containment, crews continue to contain the Louise Creek Coal Seam Fire Aided by cooler temperatures and wetting rains, firefighters were successfully able to safely contain 100% of the fire perimeter on the Ridgetop Fire, 5 miles north of Healy. There will continue to be a limited firefighter presence in the fire area as crews continue to patrol the fire perimeter and begin removing fire equipment and apparatus from the fire to be sent back to the local fire warehouses to be refurbished for other initial attack fires. The 59 personnel assigned to the Louise Creek Coal Seam Fire will continue to take advantage of the decrease in fire activity to construct fireline, mop up hot spots and reinforce existing dozer lines from historical fires within the fire area. Crews will also continue to utilize aviation assets to assist with mop up where needed. ALASKA WILDLAND FIRE INFORMATION PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| VIDEO: Massive apartment fire in Texas injures 2, forces dozens from their homes A massive fire at a North Side apartment complex has sent two people to the hospital and forced more than a dozen others out of their homes early Thursday morning, according to the San Antonio Fire Department. The fire was called in just before 3 a.m. at the ICON Apartments in the 1300 block of Patricia Drive, not far from both Blanco Road and Churchill High School. Firefighters said when they arrived they found a heavy fire on the second floor of an apartment building and several people on the balconies and immediately began rescuing them. Fire officials said one woman did suffer minor burns and another person jumped from the balcony and was hurt. Both people were taken to a hospital to be checked out. Firefighters say more than a dozen people were forced to evacuate their homes. KSAT-TV ABC 12 SAN ANTONIO Device designed by University of Miami graduate students may help protect firefighters from harmful chemicals Chitvan Killawala and Umer Bakali want to help protect firefighters from a potential threat. Their strategy to do so does not involve creating a better forcible-entry axe or a thicker face shield but deploying a device no bigger than a USB flash drive. The two University of Miami graduate students have developed a special sensor capable of detecting the real-time presence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the warm zone at structural fires. A class of chemicals that result from burning coal, oil, gas, wood, garbage, and tobacco, PAHs can bind to or form small particles in the air. In laboratory animals, they are known to cause certain cancers. Scientists using bulky instruments like mass spectrometers, which require industrial compressed gas cylinders, have measured levels of PAHs in samples in laboratory settings. UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI Firefighters in one Indiana county concerned about responding to warehouse fires As warehouses continue to pop up in western Hancock County, local fire departments are sounding the alarm. The firefighter's union said they simply don't have the staff to fight fires at those massive buildings. At 2.2 million square feet, a brand-new Walmart distribution center in western Hancock County is the largest in the world. It's nearly twice the size of the Walmart warehouse in Plainfield that went up in flames in March of last year. However, if something like that happened in Hancock County, fire officials say it'd be even worse. "If this building was to catch on fire, the whole county combined, including our paid departments and our volunteer departments — we do not have enough to even do half the response of the Plainfield fire," Tony Bratcher, who serves as the president of Hancock County Firefighters Local 4787, said. WXIN-TV FOX 59 INDIANAPOLIS Missouri could soon step up its efforts to help first responders Missouri's first responders could be in store for extra help when seeking mental health services. A bill awaiting a decision from Gov. Mike Parson would broaden an existing firefighter cancer trust fund to also help cover mental health services for other first responders, including 911 operators. Sen. Lincoln Hough, R-Springfield, said his bill is designed to make sure the state has the backs of first responders. "This legislation seeks to give these individuals that are first responders, when they do reach out and they say, ‘You know what? I'm a 911 operator and that call that I just got off of shook me. Maybe I need to talk to somebody about what I'm going through.' And the end goal, really here, is to make sure that they're in a good place and ready to get back to work and do the jobs that we need them to do," said Hough. MISSOURINET Construction fires among the biggest blazes in Las Vegas history VIDEO: The cause of Tuesday night's massive apartment complex fire in the southwest Las Vegas valley is still under investigation. A statement on Wednesday from the company building the unfinished project thanked the Clark County Fire Department for their work in investigating the blaze. "The Associates of Martin-Harris Construction are disheartened by the fire on June 20, 2023, at our Kaktus Life III Project Site. We feel blessed that all of our associates and subcontractor tradespersons are accounted for with no injuries. We want to thank the Clark County Fire Department for their professionalism and will continue to work side by side with them while this event is under investigation," said Guy Martin, president of Martin-Harris Construction.
