A person died in a Lower Kalskag house fire on Friday, Alaska State Troopers say. According to an online dispatch from troopers, they were notified that a house had caught fire in Lower Kalskag Friday morning. "Initial information reported was that the house had burned and was smoldering, and no other structures were in danger," troopers wrote. Kalskag is a community of approximately 200 residents along the Kuskokwim River in Southwest Alaska. Alaska State Trooper Spokesperson Tim DeSpain said that Lower Kalskag has a "very small registered volunteer fire department and they are very limited on equipment." Troopers wrote that the Deputy State Fire Marshal and a trooper responded to investigate, locating the remains of one adult. Despain said that the trooper and Deputy State Fire Marshal arrived later in the afternoon on Nov. 11.

A two-alarm fire has destroyed a building on Leavenworth Street just behind the Wendy's on Lake Avenue. Crews were called to the scene around 12:30 a.m. and worked for hours putting out the flames. They are still cleaning up debris. Rochester firefighters say they got the call for a report of heavy smoke and flames coming from a one-story commercial building. Crews tried to fight it from the inside but the extreme heat forced them to use hoses and ladder pipes to fight it from the outside. We saw some firefighters being treated by EMTs at the scene. RFD says the fire caused the roof of the building to collapse. "Companies were able to make a push inside, they were able to take attack lines to go inside and try to put the fire out, but once they got inside there was heavy smoke," said Rochester Fire Department captain David Abdoch.

VIDEO: Dale Melanson wasn't ready to leave the Plymouth Fire Department when a devastating diagnosis of ALS forced him to retire earlier this year. But, part of him did stay - his helmet. Now, it's traveling from department to department across Massachusetts. This week, Braintree firefighters delivered it to the Quincy Fire Department where it rode in the fire truck, even responding to calls. It's been to 27 fire departments so far. At each one, members sign the helmet and make a donation toward Melanson's medical bills. It's an emotional show of support and a way to raise awareness of ALS - a neurological disease that slowly takes away a person's strength and ability to move and speak. "The fire service is a true brother and sisterhood and when we know someone is down and especially in circumstances like this, we want to be there for them in any way we can," said Braintree Fire Lt. Fredrick Viola.

A driver is in critical condition after a crash between an 18-wheeler and a box truck left one of the vehicles dangling over the Grand Parkway in Montgomery County on Monday morning. The latter vehicle, the box truck, ended up on the lanes below. Texas DPS said they responded to the crash at about 8:06 a.m. on the Grand Parkway westbound at Birnham Woods. Officials told ABC13 that the box truck went off the road during the crash, landing on the lanes below the overpass, while the 18-wheeler's cab ended up hanging partially over the overpass. Amazingly, both drivers survived, with the 18-wheeler driver being pulled out. The box truck driver was taken to the hospital with critical injuries. Photos from the Spring Fire Department posted to Twitter just before 9 a.m. showed the perilous aftermath.

VIDEO: A new class of men and women are training to join the ranks of the Seminole County Fire Department, and more and more of the recruits are coming from a military background. For the first time, nearly a third of the new class of recruits are military veterans. Robert Garcia says he's building a brotherhood much like what he had in the military, a group that will help him launch a career as a first responder. "Just knowing that I have these brothers behind me, and that I have this tight knit family makes being able to do a job that's hectic and distraught as this one a lot easier, and it makes me that much more passionate about it," said Garcia. Garcia is one of 27 new recruits training to join the Seminole County Fire Department. He's one of 8 veterans in the class. Garcia says his drive to protect the safety of others was drilled into him in the military.

The Natural Disasters Expo is a show all about the best when it comes to protecting us from the worst. On the show floor at the Anaheim Convention Center: firefighting gear, ready to eat meals, instant shelter tents and more. The biggest trend: portable backup power. Goal Zero was showing off power banks that use the sun to recharge. "It's all about solar but being able to take it wherever you want to go," said Chris Allen of Utah-based Goal Zero. Zendure's plug and play home energy system raised 5 million dollars on Kickstarter almost overnight. Why? "There are a lot of outages… so people are really concerned what if there is no power… I need backup power, so this is a product to fix your worries," said Zendure's Cindy Deng. A British company named Zenova was showing off their FP paint, or fire protection paint, which resists the spread of fire. It was an impressive demo.
