| Denali National Park & Preserve's Foraker Fire first detected wildfire of the season PHOTO: The Foraker Fire (#199) was discovered on June 21, 2024, via remote sensing, burning within Denali National Park and Preserve in the Foraker River drainage, which is located on the south side of the Alaska Range. It is currently estimated at five acres, burning in black spruce and tundra, and believed to be lightning-caused. The Foraker Fire is burning in a Limited Fire Management Option area with the goal of maintaining natural ecological processes. BLM Alaska Fire Service will monitor the fire and conduct point protection tactics if needed. Currently, there are no identified values designated for protection. The safety of the public and firefighters remains the highest priority in all fire management activities. The number of wildfires in Alaska is increasing as several waves of thunderstorms with high lightning activity have been moving across the state.

| Body camera video shows New Jersey police officer's heroic actions as he saves couple from house fire VIDEO: An Evesham police officer was commended for his bravery as a house fire hero after he rescued a couple from a blaze on June 16. Evesham Police Chief Walt Miller detailed the events leading up to the rescue in a news release where he applauded the swift work of Officer Kevin Long, Evesham Fire-Rescue Quint 2235 and other emergency responders. Long was the first person to arrive at the fire on the 1800 block of Sagemore Drive after the department received an emergency call at around 4 p.m. The department released Long's body camera footage showing the severity of the fire and the panic he and the residents faced as deep clouds of smog engulfed the home. "I've got smoky conditions, smoky conditions," Long can be heard saying while running up to the home, which had five adjoining apartment units attached. KYW-TV CBS 3 PHILADELPHIA ‘Demoralizing': Firefighters' vehicles damaged during Celtics parade in Boston VIDEO: On a day the city came together to celebrate, Boston firefighters who work at the Back Bay station found little to cheer about after their cars were damaged and vandalized at Friday's Celtics parade. "Pretty demoralizing and just frustrating and disappointing," said Sam Dillon, president of Boston Firefighters Local 718. "They worked the parade all day, they get back to the fire house and they found their personal vehicles had been damaged and vandalized." Photos taken by the union show dozens of fans standing and sitting on these vehicles while the parade passed by on Friday. Other pictures show those same vehicles with damage to their hoods, roofs buckled in, and in one case, an apparent apology left on one vehicle. "If you are truly sorry, reach out, make this right, and everyone can go their separate ways," Dillon said. NECN Everyday Heroes: Central Pennsylvania fire departments launch recruitment campaign VIDEO: To help address the critical shortage of volunteer firefighters, Clearfield, Cambria and Indiana County fire departments are teaming up to launch a campaign. The campaign, Everyday Heroes, showcases how everyday people can make an impact in their communities. Local fire departments are encouraging people to bring their strengths and experiences to the table. From finances to recruitment, fire departments across Pennsylvania are struggling and in Clearfield County, companies are coming together to fight those problems. "Because there is a place for everyone of any age in the volunteer fire service," Jerry Brant, a partner at Decoplan Associates said. "We want to build a solid foundation and we want to instill in this fire department things that they need to do to keep people." WTAJ-TV CBS 10 ALTOONA PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
