| All safe after plane catches fire and burns on the ground in Bethel A Yute Commuter Service airplane caught fire over the weekend at the Bethel airport. The pilot and passengers are uninjured, according to the airline, but the plane and the luggage on board went up in flames. A YCS Cessna 207 departed from Bethel sometime after 5 p.m. on Nov. 20, according to the airline's director of operations, Terry Cratty. Cratty said that there were six people on board: the pilot and five passengers. He did not say where the plane was going. About 10 minutes into the flight, the pilot detected an issue in the aircraft. "What he had was smoke in the cockpit. And we think it might have been related to the contents in the aircraft in some way," Cratty said. KTOO-FM 104.3 JUNEAU PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

WEYI-TV NBC 25 SAGINAW Too many firefighters are dying of cancer; Veteran California firefighter aims to change that They're our modern-day superheroes — charging into burning buildings without hesitation, rescuing those in peril, staving off destruction. But in risking their lives for us, firefighters pay a heavy price, with cancer rates that far outpace the public at large. Derek Urwin, a longtime firefighter who expects to complete his Ph.D. in chemistry during the winter quarter, is out to change that, using his knowledge of chemistry to improve firefighter health and safety and, ultimately, bring these cancer rates down. It's a mission that had a very personal origin. In 2014, Urwin's brother Isaac, then 33, died of leukemia. Urwin, who was serving with the Los Angeles County Fire Department, took time off to care for him through his chemotherapy treatments. UCLA NEWSROOM North Carolina firefighter will soon light up the neighborhood to brighten the holidays VIDEO/PHOTOS: His name may not be Griswold, but Justin Rhodes has mapped out a stunning show that debuts on Thanksgiving night outside his home at 93 Crayton Road in Asheville. "One of the big reasons I do it is seeing the joy it brings to kids," said Rhodes, who's been working since Nov. 1. "All of our props are custom made," he explained. For the third year, he's got something epic planned. The show itself is called E.L.F.'s holiday light show. E.L.F. stands for Extreme Lighting Fanatic. "This is pretty much the layout of the house," he told us at his computer, showing us how the holiday magic happens. "It's a 3D model of the house that's all the props I have in the yard." WLOS-TV ABC 13 ASHEVILLE South Dakota: Looking Back at The Great Murdo Fire of 1910 PHOTOS: Murdo, South Dakota had only just gotten started as a town when disaster struck on a cold February night in 1910. A fire that was likely started by a hot stovepipe in a printing business on Main Street quickly spread to nearby buildings and destroyed an entire block of businesses before it finally burned itself out. Wayne Esmay owns an electrical contracting business in Murdo and today owns one of the buildings erected on Main Street after the fire. Esmay is also an amateur historian and has studied the story of the fire and its aftermath. "Nobody knows for sure how it started, but they think it was the wood burning stove in the print shop. The editor of the paper, he started the fire and went up to his residence on the upper floor. In a couple hours there was smoke and he raised the alarm. It was pretty devastating. It was the most devastating fire that Murdo has ever had." SOUTH DAKOTA PUBLIC BROADCASTING COVID-19 Rebound in U.S. Is as Bad as Last November's in Some Spots The latest U.S. COVID-19 wave is taking its toll on some states' intensive-care units, with several parts of the country seeing outbreaks that are as bad as ever. In 15 states, patients with confirmed or suspected COVID are taking up more ICU beds than a year earlier, according to Department of Health and Human Services data. Colorado, Minnesota and Michigan have 41%, 37% and 34% of ICU beds occupied by COVID-19 patients, respectively, the data show. In some areas, COVID patients are filling ICU beds as much as ever before The dramatic uptick means there's proportionately less space in hospitals for those suffering from other potentially deadly ailments. "Many of our physicians are at a breaking point," said Ali Mokdad, a professor with the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. "It's not easy to be day in and day out in an emergency room, in an ICU, looking at someone who is dying because he or she is not vaccinated." BLOOMBERG - METERED SITE PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
