| 1 dead following roof collapse at Anchorage gym in Taku/Campbell neighborhood One person is dead and two are injured following a roof collapse at a commercial building on East 76th Avenue Friday evening, according to Anchorage Fire Department officials. Department Assistant Chief Alex Boyd said one of the injured was taken to a local hospital for treatment, while the other received medical attention at the scene. Boyd said that AFD units arrived at 5:28 p.m., just two minutes after receiving the call. An Anchorage police officer at the scene said the Turnagain CrossFit gym is one of the businesses affected by the collapse. Boyd said that one person has already been extricated from the building and another person has been located within the structure but had not yet been rescued. The Old Seward Highway is closed at 76th Avenue, and Boyd said it will likely remain closed for much of Friday evening. KTUU-TV NBC 2 ANCHORAGE Delta, Greely EMS rescue fall victim at Tanana River bridge PHOTO: Emergency-service personnel rescued an injured person early Saturday morning who'd apparently fallen off the Tanana River bridge at Big Delta, about eight miles north of Delta Junction. Alaska State Troopers say they got a report at around 5:45 a.m. Saturday that a woman had fallen off the bridge and was laying on an ice shelf about 30 feet below. Troopers and Delta Junction-area emergency personnel responded and set up a rescue operation on the bridge and closed the Richardson Highway to traffic intermittently for about an hour-and-a-half, while the operation was under way. A Fort Greely EMS responder who's been trained in so-called high-angle rescues was lowered off one side of the bridge down to the ice, where he checked out the victim and secured her in an apparatus that lifted her back up to the bridge. Delta Medical Transport personnel then took the victim to Fairbanks Memorial Hospital, where she was listed in critical condition. KUAC-FM 89.9 FAIRBANKS PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

Brian DiRocco Tesla driver killed after barreling into ladder truck blocking accident scene on California freeway PHOTOS: Clean up for a crash on a northern California freeway turned deadly Saturday after a Tesla plowed into a fire truck that was shielding first responders who were working another accident. The driver of the Tesla Model S was killed when the car hit the truck that was parked on Interstate 680 around 4 a.m., according to the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District. A passenger was also critically injured. Assistant Chief Tracie Dutter said four firefighters who were in the ladder truck were treated for minor injuries. Multiple photos posted on the agency's Facebook page showed the Tesla with a crushed front end and the $1.4 million truck preparing to be towed. Dutter said the truck had its lights on and was parked diagonally in northbound lanes of the freeway to protect first responders who were working an earlier accident that did not result in any injuries. FOX NEWS A 'true community center' went up in flames 75 years ago in Missouri Seventy-five years ago this month, Cape Girardeau lost its "true community center." On the morning of Tuesday, Feb. 17, 1948, fire destroyed the 21-year-old Houck Field House on the State College campus. Not only was the field house the home of the Indians' basketball games, it also housed hoop competition for Cape Girardeau Central High School, College High School and the Sunday School League. In addition it served as the site for political rallies, patriotic assemblies, religious meetings, Scouting events, cooking schools and an untold number of other public gatherings. Built in 1927 through the efforts of then college president Dr. Joseph A. Serena, loss of the field house was significant for the college and the community. Here's the Southeast Missourian's coverage from that day and the next day's editorial. SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAN ‘Safest state in the country': How the Station Nightclub tragedy reshaped Rhode Island's fire code VIDEO: Five months after 100 people lost their lives in the Station nightclub fire, Rhode Island lawmakers passed the most sweeping changes to its fire code in state history. And despite some early calls to ease the requirements of the new code by businesses who felt the rules were overly burdensome, the law has remained largely intact. State Fire Marshal Timothy McLaughlin said the overhaul of the code has made Rhode Island "probably the safest state in the country" when it comes to fire safety. "When they did this in 2003, they did it for a reason," McLaughlin said. "We saw what happened, the pledge back then was ‘we never want this to happen again,' and I don't think we'll ever see that again." The Comprehensive Fire Safety Act was signed into law by then-Gov. Don Carcieri in July 2003. WPRI-TV CBS 12 PROVIDENCE PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
