| Fairbanks firefighters face challenges responding at 40 below Fires break out in Interior Alaska year-round, and local fire departments are tasked with responding no matter the weather. When temperatures drop to 40 degrees below zero, that can put a strain on firefighters on the job. Despite their geographical distance, multiple departments in the community regularly respond to fires when they happen, including the Fairbanks Fire Department, the University Fire Department, and the Fort Wainwright Fire Department. According to Fairbanks Fire Chief Andrew Coccaro, at the temperature levels the community saw over the last two weeks, seals freeze, pumps break down, and needed equipment struggles. Firefighters even see icicles growing on their person when operating a fire hose, because of the amount of spray generated while they're in use. KTVF-TV NBC 11 FAIRBANKS PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| 2 shooting victims seeking help crash into Alabama fire station; 1 dies at hospital Two shooting victims - a male and a female - were rushed to the hospital after they hit a Birmingham fire station while they were seeking help. One of the victims, the male, was pronounced a short time later at UAB Hospital. In what police called a "chaotic scene," the ordeal began about 6:40 p.m. when gunfire erupted at the Shell station on the corner of Old Springville Road and Brewster Road. Those inside the sedan fled the scene and were believed to have been seeking medical attention when they crashed into one of the bay doors at Station 30, which is about a half block away. The impact did not break down the door. Because it wasn't immediately clear what was taking place, an alert was issued indicating a potential threat or danger to a firefighter. AL.COM 75-year-old woman becomes volunteer firefighter in California VIDEO: The CAL FIRE Butte County volunteer program finished its last day of training for its latest group of volunteer firefighters. 19 new volunteer firefighters are expected to serve Butte County and 75-year-old Mary Jarschke is excited to be one of them. "I keep thinking 'man if I started when I was 30 I would be' excuse the expression but badass. I mean it's still pretty badass at 75 but, really I wish I had done it sooner," said Mary Jarscke. Jarschke is a retired registered nurse and Camp Fire survivor living in Concow. She says she joined the program to continue to give back to the community. "We do a lot of medical calls in Concow, the volunteers do, so I decided that this is something that I can do. I'm clearly not gonna be the one dragging somebody out of a burning building most likely." KHSL-TV CBS 12 CHICO Forest Service burn boss indicted for reckless burning in Oregon A Grant County grand jury has indicted U.S. Forest Service burn boss Ricky Snodgrass on a Class A misdemeanor count of reckless burning. Grant County Sheriff Todd McKinley arrested Snodgrass on Oct. 19, 2022, while the fire he was supervising was still burning. It is believed to be the first time a Forest Service firefighter has been arrested in the course of doing their job. On that day, the Forest Service was conducting a prescribed burn just north of the Izee-Paulina Highway and west of Highway 395. Embers from the planned burn area blew across the Izee-Paulina Highway and charred about 20 acres of timbered ground belonging to an adjacent private ranch before the blaze could be put out. BLUE MOUNTAIN EAGLE - METERED SITE These States Pay Firefighters the Most Firefighters are first responders trained primarily in controlling and extinguishing fires, as well as responding to emergencies involving life, property, or the environment.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the demand for firefighters is expected to grow by around 4% in the next decade, about the same as the average for all occupations. Most firefighters receive 100 hours of training at a fire academy. The average hourly pay per was less than $25 in 2022, or almost $51,700 annually.

'Silver Wave': How New Hampshire's aging population is straining its Seacoast Region fire departments New Hampshire's population is getting older, and the "Silver Wave" is having an impact on emergency services and town budgets. New Hampshire has the second oldest population in the nation, with a median age of 43 years old, according to World Population Review. Only neighboring Maine has an older population, and Florida, known for its retirement communities, is behind New Hampshire with a median age of 42. Maine and New Hampshire aren't unique in the Northeast. Every New England state is among the 15 oldest in the nation. But median age doesn't tell the whole story. According to estimates from the U.S. Census, in 2023, New Hampshire had about 1,395,000 people, with more than 20 percent over 65. SEACOAST ONLINE - METERED SITE PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
