| 1 person taken to hospital after Anchorage house fire The Monday night fire that engulfed a home on Beacon Hill Drive in the Hillside neighborhood resulted in one of two residents being sent to the hospital, according to James Dennis, a battalion chief with the Anchorage Fire Department. There's been no word on the status of their injuries. Dennis added that the fire is contained and firefighters remained on the scene of the house fire monitoring hotspots through the night into Tuesday. On Monday, Dennis said firefighters responded to the garage fire around 8:40 p.m., but when they arrived, it had already reached the second floor of the home. Alex Boyd, a training assistant chief with the department, said crews made contact with one resident of the home upon arrival, but did not have further information about whether its occupants were home at the time it started. KTUU-TV NBC 2 ANCHORAGE Fairbanks Fire Chief discusses structure fire that crews battled to contain VIDEO: Multiple fire departments are currently on the scene of a structure fire located in a building owned by C & R Pipe on Alta Way, near South Cushman Street in Fairbanks. According to reporter John Dougherty, who is currently on scene, there are no injuries and everyone made it out of the building safely. The building is expected to be a total loss and was filled with tools, fabrication equipment, and fabrication projects that were currently in-progress. Officials do not know as of yet what started the fire, the building is covered by fire insurance. Fire Chief Todd Chambers has confirmed that no one was injured in the fire and that occupants of the building did their best to remove potentially flammable substances before exiting the building, once the fire erupted.

| 3 Hurt in Texas Crash as Tornado Crosses I-35E Near Waxahachie VIDEO: Three people were hospitalized late Monday after vehicles collided as a tornado crossed Interstate 35E near Waxahachie, authorities say. The incident involved a "possible fatality" and happened at I-35E and Johnston Road, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. The drivers of three tractor-trailers involved in the crash were taken to Baylor Scott & White Medical Center in Waxahachie. One of the drivers was seriously injured, a DPS spokesman said. Both sides of the interstate were closed for about five hours. All lanes were reopened shortly after 3 a.m. The crash came on a night in which severe weather moved across the southern half of North Texas. NBC 5 Meteorologist Grant Johnston said a tornado that was visible on the S-Band Radar was confirmed to have crossed I-35E at that location. KXAS-TV NBC 5 FORT WORTH Related YouTube Video: 3 Big Rigs Crash On I-35 In North Texas During Tornado Warning Virginia fire department gives monumental assist to flag atop Iwo Jima Memorial PHOTOS: Arlington County firefighters answer the call when someone is in need of help in Arlington. This weekend they provided an assist to a group of legendary Rosslyn area residents cast in bronze. Friday's windstorm tangled the flag atop the Marine Corps War Memorial, also known as the Iwo Jima memorial. To help fix it, the fire department at neary Fort Myer requested the assistance of ACFD and its extra-long ladder truck. "Captain Shawn Pendo, officer in charge of Tower 104, was called on Sunday morning by the Fort Myer Fire Department requesting assistance to fix the flag at the Marine Corps Memorial in Rosslyn," fire department spokesman Taylor Blunt tells ARLnow. "Captain Pendo quickly rounded up his crew for the special mission." "Once they arrived, Firefighter Kristin Pardiny positioned the bucket for her crew to disentangle and inspect the flag's halyard," Blunt continued. "The operation was done in under 30 minutes with no damage found." ARLINGTON NOW Volunteer firefighting programs vanishing in larger Indiana departments Not long ago, many of the fire departments in the county relied heavily on volunteer firefighters to handle operations. The cost to train a firefighter even on a volunteer basis, however, isn't cheap. That has caused many departments in the county to drop their volunteer programs while their full-time staffs have grown along with the population. Officials with Sugar Creek Township Fire Department made the decision recently to no longer use volunteers or train them after figuring the practice was not cost-effective. "We got tired of paying thousands to train firefighters and watching them leave and go elsewhere around the state," Chief Brandon Kleine said. "I joked around at one point saying ‘we were the best farm system in the state of Indiana.'" Twenty years ago, the department, made up of mostly volunteers, had about 700 runs per year. DAILY REPORTER Drones: Fighting Emergencies From the Air in South Florida VIDEO: A tool has landed at Miami-Dade and Broward Fire Rescue and it's proven to be a gamechanger for emergencies in South Florida. Drones have really proven to change the dynamic for firefighters in our area. It's something we could only see more of in the future. "It's been completely a blessing for the fire department," said Chief Andres Liriano with Miami-Dade Fire Rescue. "It's a huge change, we're talking about an increase in accountability, they can track personnel throughout the scene. It also gives them another view of the scene they've never seen before," said Sean Quitoni, an engineer and drone operator for Broward Fire Rescue. It's a view of an emergency that includes 4K cameras, optical zoom, infrared capability and allows rescue crews both in Miami-Dade and Broward to get up close and personal. "Well, with remote areas we are huge for that. There have been cases where there have been missing jet skiers in the mangroves that air rescue can't get a view of because of the mangroves," said Miami-Dade Fire Captain Derek Foster. WTVJ-TV NBC 6 MIAMI Bill to help first responders suffering from PTSD passes South Carolina House A bill that would help first responders suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PSTD) is closer to becoming law in South Carolina. Unlike a physical injury, mental illnesses or mental injuries are not covered under workers' compensation. House bill 3939 will allow first responders like firefighters and law enforcement to receive workers compensation if diagnosed with a stress-related and mental illness caused by a traumatic event while on duty. State Rep. Tommy Pope of York County introduced the bill. He's a former law enforcement officer and prosecutor. Pope said his initial proposal focused on PTSD stemming from deadly force incidents. "From my experience in law enforcement, what often happens is several of us could be involved in the same incident, but it may affect you differently than it affects me," Pope said. "Some people could go right on and some people may never be able to work again." WTOC-TV CBS 11 SAVANNAH PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
