 A landslide in downtown Juneau Monday evening damaged homes and knocked out power to parts of Juneau and Douglas. No injuries have been reported. The National Weather Service office in Juneau had cautioned that landslides were possible earlier in the day, but no major warnings were issued. Then the power went out around Juneau, just after 6:00 p.m. A few minutes later, Juneau's power company tweeted that there was a "significant landslide on Gastineau Ave. with lines down." Cruise ship passengers in the harbor reported seeing a flash when the transformer blew. First responders were on the scene within a few minutes, going door-to-door asking residents to evacuate. It was voluntary. Some stayed, and some left. KTOO-FM 104.3 JUNEAU Capital City Fire Rescue Assistant Chief Ed Quinto spoke to News of the North on Tuesday about Monday evening's landslide. He explained CCFR's response just after 6 p.m. "We responded with our units, we got up there and it was mostly vegetation, not much soil," Quinto said. "It was fortunate the mudslide occurred between two houses. It did hit a house behind another house, and people were in there, but they were able to evacuate without any problem. There was nobody else in another house that had damage. It was unoccupied. So, it was fortunate the slide ended up between two houses and nobody was injured." A power pole was also struck, causing a power outage in the city. "It also pushed a power pole over," Quinto said. KINY 800AM/103.5FM JUNEAU |

 After keeping fire crews busy for nearly 14 hours, an industrial park fire in Sauget that filled the air with smoke is finally out. Fire crews cleared the scene just before 6:00 a.m. at the Eagle Industrial Park on Mississippi Avenue in Sauget. The Sauget Fire Chief, Roger Thornton, said some crews may return throughout the day to check on a few small hot spots. This all comes after the intense fire burned for quite a long time, with smoke billowing from the scene for hours. Thornton also said that the fire happened at a storage facility inside the Eagle Industrial Park. It's a 39-acre industrial park that occupies the former property of the Big River Zinc Corporation. The area has now been converted to a full-service trans-loading operation. Chief Thornton told us his crews got the first call for the fire about 4:00 p.m. Monday afternoon. It quickly went to a second alarm, with crews from Cahokia Heights responding as well. KTVI-TV FOX 2 ST. LOUIS World Heart Day is just a few days away, and in honor of that, one Houston firefighter is sharing his story of how his own fellow first responders came to his rescue when his heart nearly stopped. Being a firefighter is not an easy job. But for Engineer Operator Jason Belin, it's a job he loves but nearly had to quit after he got quite the scare back in June. "The personnel that I was working with that day said that I passed out for a minute or so," Belin said. Jason was in training with other first responders when his heart rate dropped. He was only 46 years old and had no history of heart problems. "At that time, they noticed that my heart rate had dropped from 80 beats per minute to 20 beats per minute," Belin said. His fellow firefighters rushed to his side, helping to get him awake and to the ambulance immediately. KHOU-TV CBS 11 HOUSTON VIDEO: The Red Sox paid tribute to three fallen Baltimore firefighters during a baseball game in Boston on Monday. The team flashed pictures of Lieutenant Paul Butrim, Firefighter Paramedic Kenneth Lacayo and Lieutenant Kelsey Sadler on the Fenway Park jumbotron during a break in the game. Lieutenant Butrim was a lifelong Red Sox fan. According to a Tweet from the Baltimore Firefighters Union IAFF Local 734, Boston firefighters also hosted Baltimore firefighters for the day. Butrim, Lacayo and Sadler died while battling a vacant rowhome fire on Stricker Street last January. The families of the firefighters called for action on vacant homes from Baltimore City Council in July. They asked city leaders to reduce the number of vacant homes because of the dangers posed to first responders who show up there. WMAR-TV ABC 2 BALTIMORE PHOTOS: John Moon stands on the 2000 block of Centre Avenue in Pittsburgh's Hill District. He's in front of a building that houses the Hill District Federal Credit Union, but he points to a plaque affixed to the stone façade commemorating the Freedom House ambulance service, widely acknowledged as the first paramedic program in the United States. A half-century ago, Moon was a Freedom House paramedic, and he remains fiercely proud of it: The service, staffed overwhelmingly by Black men from the neighborhood, revolutionized emergency street medicine on the same blocks where many were underemployed, or even believed to be "unemployable." "We were considered the least likely to succeed by society's standards," said Moon, who was 22 and a hospital orderly when he started training to join Freedom House. WEKU-FM 88.9 RICHMOND VIDEO: Jason Aldean remembers hearing a popping noise, and thinking it was an equipment malfunction. "When I turned around," he says, "my bass player was just looking at me like a deer in the headlights. And my security guy was on stage at that point, telling me to get down, waving me off the stage." Aldean will never forget what happened the night of Oct. 1, 2017, when a relentless gunman turned the celebratory Route 91 Harvest Music Festival in Las Vegas into a maelstrom of unimaginable horror. And he shares his vivid memories in detail for the first time in 11 Minutes, a four-part documentary — set to premiere Tuesday, Sept. 27 on Paramount + — that takes viewers inside the heart-stopping stories of terror and survival during the worst mass shooting incident in U.S. history.
