| State issues disaster declaration for Tununak fire, denies slower response time in Tuluksak It's been a week since a fire destroyed Tununak's washeteria. The fire has left the community without a place to wash clothes. Last year, in a similar incident, a fire destroyed a washeteria in a different Y-K Delta community. The governor issued a disaster declaration to each village, but the timeline was very different. The Tununak fire started on Feb. 15 when workers were replacing a meter box at the washeteria. There is no running water in the community of about 400 people. Tununak Tribal Administrator Xavier Post said that the fire grew too big before volunteers could fill up water tanks to put it out. Two days later, Gov. Mike Dunleavy signed a disaster declaration. It frees up to $1 million in state funding to cover response efforts. A spokesperson for the Alaska Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, Jeremy Zidek, said that those funds can only be used to bring structures back to what they were before the disaster.

| VIDEO: 2 firefighters injured, 1 seriously, battling blaze at New York supermarket Two firefighters were injured while battling a blaze at a grocery store in the Bronx Tuesday night. FDNY officials say the fire started just after 5 p.m. in the basement and first floor of Bravo Supermarket on Archer Street in the Van Nest section. They say the fire grew to four alarms and nearly 40 units and 170 firefighters worked to put it out. One firefighter was seriously injured and taken to Jacobi Hospital, although the injury is not believed to be life threatening. A second firefighter suffered a minor injury and was also transported to Jacobi Hospital. The fire has since been placed under control. Operations are ongoing and are expected to continue throughout the night. The cause of the fire is under investigation. WABC-TV ABC 7 NEW YORK Related YouTube Video: FDNY Battling Major 4th Alarm Fire In A Supermarket In The Bronx Baltimore councilwoman wants firefighter body cameras, new rules to enter vacant homes in wake of deadly blaze Following the death of three Baltimore firefighters this year in the collapse of a vacant home, a member of Baltimore City Council has proposed a bill creating restrictions on when firefighters can enter vacant buildings and requiring firefighters to wear body cameras. The bill, introduced by Councilwoman Danielle McCray Tuesday evening, would bar city firefighters from entering vacant buildings if 25% or more of the structure has been consumed by fire. Additionally, firefighters could only enter a vacant building if the department "confirmed" an occupant was inside and "structural and hazardous conditions permit a safe entry." Firefighters would be barred from entering a collapsed structure unless someone's life is in immediate danger, according to the proposed legislation. The bill also requires firefighters to be equipped with a recording device that collects audio and video to be used only at the scene of fires. THE BALTIMORE SUN - METERED SITE ‘No family should have to go through what we went through,' Oklahoma father who lost son in KIA fire reacts to new recall A Calvin man who lost his son due to a KIA Soul fire back in 2019 contacted KFOR wanting to once again share the family's tragic story after a new KIA recall. "We've had days that are okay, and we've had days that have not been very good," Robert Carlton told News 4. It's been almost two years since Robert and Becky Carlton lost their son, Jordan. "My wife, Becky, the situation that she was in, those memories will never leave," Robert said. Jordan and his mom were inside a 2019 KIA Soul, a rental, in Hawaii when it caught fire back in 2019. Both of them were seriously hurt. Jordan suffered from burns on more than 80 percent of his body. He died 14 months later. "No family should have to go through what we went through," Robert said. KFOR-TV NBC 4 OKLAHOMA After 175 years, a reflection on natural disasters at the University of Iowa Across the University of Iowa's 175-year history, the campus community has experienced a wide-range of disasters including tornadoes, flooding, and fires. The most impactful events include the 2008 flood and fires at South Hall, the old library building, and the Old Capitol Building. The 2008 flood inflicted $750 million in damage to 22 campus buildings including the old Hancher Auditorium building, which was destroyed in 2013, and the Art Building, which has since been decommissioned. Mary Bennett, historian and archivist at the State Historical Society of Iowa, has lived through the three most recent disasters in her 50 years in Iowa City. Bennett graduated from the university in the 1970s. Bennett said she remembers the wide-ranging destruction caused by the 2008 flood and that generally, it was difficult to get around town with Dubuque Street and the Park Road Bridge submerged. "I think that the whole community was so impacted," Bennett said. THE DAILY IOWAN PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
