| Woman dies after boat hit by waves capsizes near Sitka A Sitka woman died after a boat capsized near Sitka on Sunday morning. According to a press release from the Sitka Police Department, 51-year-old Deanna Moore was pulled out of the water by a U.S. Coast Guard rescue swimmer and later pronounced dead at Mount Edgecumbe Medical Center. Sitka police wrote that they received the report of a capsized 22-foot-long vessel in the keyhole by Three Entrance Bay at 8:25 a.m. Sunday morning. An emergency response vessel had already begun traveling toward a separate incident, but instead headed toward the capsized vessel and arrived at approximately 9 a.m. "Witness account states the vessel had been hit by a wave, pushing it into a rock, where another wave overtook the vessel, further pushing it into the rocks and shore, sinking the back and of the vessel," police wrote. KTUU-TV NBC 2 ANCHORAGE Eielson PFAS cleanup project won't clear all contamination, expert says The Army Corps of Engineers has awarded a contract to clean up PFAS-contaminated soil at Eielson Air Force Base. The chemical used in firefighting foams has been linked to serious health problems. And a longtime Alaska contamination expert is skeptical of the PFAS-cleanup technique that'll be used at Eielson. The Corps of Engineers awarded the $27.6 million contract to Anchorage-based Brice Engineering on Nov. 10. It calls for the contractor to clean up about 130,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil excavated during construction of eight facilities to accommodate the buildup of F-35 fighter jets at Eielson. That's enough soil to cover an acre of land about nine feet deep. The contractor will employ a process called "soil washing" that uses water to extract enough of the PFAS to meet the state's cleanup standard. KRBD-FM 105.3 KETCHIKAN PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| Fiery tractor trailer crash kills woman in New York, shuts down part of expressway VIDEOS: A woman was killed when her car was sandwiched between two tractor trailers and went up in flames in a horrific crash that caused delays in both directions on the Cross Bronx Expressway in the Bronx. The victim's sedan collided with a tractor trailer, contracted by the U.S. Postal Service, in the westbound lanes at around 12:35 a.m. Tuesday. The woman was sitting in her crashed sedan, stopped behind the tractor trailer, when another tractor slammed into her vehicle. The impact set the sedan ablaze, and the flames spread to the first tractor trailer. The woman was killed in the fire. Both tractor trailer drivers escaped their rigs with no injury, but the first truck was also destroyed by fire. All westbound lanes of the expressway were closed, and one lane was getting by eastbound as first responders worked to douse the flames and police investigated. WABC-TV ABC 7 NEW YORK Florida fire department gets new airplane training facility VIDEO: The Charlotte County Fire and EMS headquarters is about to become a hot place. Tuesday, the county will have a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new $9 million Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting training facility. It's a simulator, that looks like a normal-sized passenger jet, sitting on the county property behind the fire administration building. "So the seats are the same, the aisles are the same, the cockpit is the same, the dimensions are the same," Charlotte County Fire Battalion Chief, Larry Lippel, says. But this airplane is steel, all black, and made to burn. With a few taps on an iPad, crews can set fire to the wings or the cargo area, and safely control the flames and the heat of the fire. They can also set up safe zones, where other firefighters can watch the active training. Every firefighter who works in an area with an airport needs to get aircraft fire training once a year. WFTX-TV FOX 4 CAPE CORAL Colorado: Smart phones or watches might be calling 911 without you knowing, and dispatchers need it to stop VIDEO: We're talking between 40 to 60 fake 911 calls a day, coming into the Summit County Dispatch Center. Team members expect this only to get worse as the season picks up for skiers. Summit County Director 911, Trina Dummer, was more than happy to sit down with CBS News Colorado to get a message out to the public before a big gift-giving holiday begins. She warns that some versions of Apple Watches and iPhone 14s have a system on them that automatically sends a 911 call if they detect a crash. The issue is, every one of those calls that came in this year have not been real emergencies. The calls have been people crashing while skiing but being fine or even stopping too suddenly while skiing. The alert system gives someone 20 seconds to stop the alarm from going out to dispatch, but according to dispatchers that's simply not happening for whatever reason. KCNC-TV CBS 4 DENVER Ford Recalls Nearly 522,000 Escapes, Bronco Sports Over Fire Risk Ford's latest major recall affects nearly 522,000 of its popular Escape and Bronco Sport mid-size SUVs. The issue involves a fuel leak inside the engine compartment. Affected vehicles include model-year 2020-23 Escapes and model-year 2021-23 Bronco Sports equipped with 1.5-liter engines. The issue is with the fuel injector, which may crack and leak; as a result, fuel or fuel vapor may accumulate near a hot surface on the engine or around exhaust components, potentially causing ignition and an underhood fire, increasing the risk of injury. To resolve the issue, dealers will update the engine control software to include fuel injector leak detection and install a drain tube for free. CARS.COM PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
