KINY-AM 103.5 JUNEAU  
A massive 6-alarm fire engulfed a building housing a row of businesses in West New York, New Jersey. The fire reportedly began inside one of the businesses located on Bergenline Avenue, near 61st Street. Multiple emergency responders are on scene, fighting the fire from inside and outside the building – trying to get it under control. It's unclear if there are any people inside the building. No injuries have been reported at this time. The smoke could reportedly be seen traveling over the Hudson River into New York City. A number of streets are blocked off in the area. The cause of the fire is unknown.

VIDEO: Last July, an electric transit bus in Connecticut burst into flames while parked at a depot. A month later, an electric scooter sparked a fire inside a New York City apartment that killed a 5-year-old girl and 36-year-old woman. And last month, a fire believed to be caused by the batteries in an electric scooter engulfed a multifamily home in Brockton, Massachusetts. Lithium-ion batteries have become a ubiquitous feature in new forms of transportation and common household products. They're also found in residential solar energy systems. But when those batteries fail or overheat, they release flammable, toxic gasses that can spark a fast-spreading fire that is extremely difficult to extinguish. "The source of the gasses that are creating the flames is confined within a cell battery that will not allow water in," said Ofodike Ezekoye, a fire scientist and professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Texas at Austin.

VIDEO/PHOTOS: Stepping away from full time service to retirement can be a big transition for firefighters, as they move away from the family they had at their station. No one at Olympia Firehouse 5 expected to be meeting for Monday morning coffee surrounded by a half dozen vintage firetrucks in their retirement. Once word got out that there was a place to go refurbish fire engines, talk shop and share stories, everything started to come together. Beginning their week at Firehouse 5, helping with vehicle projects or participating in community events, keeps retirees connected. In 1998 the Olympia fire chief designated the retired members as Firehouse 5, the name being next in line after Olympia firehouse 1,2,3 and 4. After Ray McDonald and Larry Dibble retired from the Olympia Fire Department, both had purchased antique fire engines.

VIDEO: Tulsa International Airport (TIA) has upgraded its phone system to alert first responders in the event of an emergency. It's called a crash phone system. TIA firefighters told FOX23 they've waited a long time for this new system. It costs around $100,000, and firefighters said the equipment is vital. "Time is of the essence when upgrading the system," said TIA Fire Chief Mark Stuckey. "It allows a faster response time." Stuckey added that the phone typically rings 10 to 12 times a month. "Any type of emergency, it can be anything from medical emergency on an aircraft ... to an indicator light for gear not coming down safely," he explained. "It can be an engine malfunction, hydraulic problem ... there's all sorts of emergencies. Very rarely is it a fire on an aircraft because commercial jets nowadays are very safe." Stuckey explained that TIA's old crash phone was a two wire system and much slower.

Greene County will give volunteer emergency responders a break on property taxes in an attempt to recruit and retain firefighters and EMTs as their numbers continue to decline across the state. The move takes advantage of a law signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul in December giving counties a standardized way to give the breaks. All 27 fire companies in Greene County are all-volunteer, and the decline in numbers means there are fewer emergency personnel to deal with an increasing number of calls. John D'Alessandro, the secretary of the Firefighters Association of the State of New York, said there was not a statewide count of firefighters, but that the number of volunteers across the state has declined dramatically in the last couple of decades, estimating it went from about 120,000 in the early 2000s to between 80,000 to 85,000 today.
