| Update: Man charged with arson after Downtown Anchorage fire An arrest has been made after a fire in Downtown Anchorage on Sunday afternoon, according to a news release from Anchorage police. Gary S. Morris, 35, is charged with second-degree arson, resisting arrest, third-degree criminal mischief and violating conditions of release. Police and firefighters were called to a fire on West Eighth Avenue near H Street at 3:28 p.m. Officers talked to a witness and got a description of a man seen walking away from the burning building. An officer found Morris on H Street. Morris was holding a metal pipe and resisted arrest, according to the news release. When backup arrived, they were able to take Morris into custody. Police are still investigating the motive behind the arson and said Morris did not live at the home. The residence appeared to be unoccupied, with renovations underway, police said. No injuries were reported. KTUU-TV NBC 2 ANCHORAGE PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

WATE-TV ABC 6 KNOXVILLE Michigan fire departments agree to rent each other's fire equipment on emergency basis Dearborn and Ann Arbor have agreed to rent each other's ambulances and other emergency vehicles on an as-needed or emergency basis. Both cities agreed to the deal in August. "This would occur if Rescue 1-1 is out of service for an extended period of time or if we wanted to add a second transport unit during peak demand times such as night, home football games," The Ann Arbor Fire Department posted on Facebook. "We are deeply appreciative and grateful to Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud and Fire Chief Joseph Murray for their willingness to explore and partner on this." Murray agreed that the contract is good for both cities. "I can see potential during special events," he said. "The request originated from Ann Arbor." PRESS & GUIDE - METERED SITE Acting New Jersey Governor Signs Firefighters Chaplain Bill Into Law Acting Governor Nicholas Scutari on Monday signed A-5275/S-3671, providing municipal governing bodies more flexibility in appointing chaplains to their fire departments. Under current law, the governing body of any municipality, by ordinance, may provide for the appointment of one or more ordained members of the clergy as chaplains to the paid or part-paid fire department and force of the municipality, with the rank of battalion chief and their salaries fixed by the governing body. The bill provides that, for any municipal fire department and force chaplain initially appointed after enactment, the municipality may specify in the ordinance appointing the chaplain whether the chaplain will have a rank and salary.
