| Alaska boosts wildfire fighter pay to retain crucial workforce amid shortages VIDEO: The men and women battling Alaska's wildfires will be getting paid a little more. The pay increase, approved by Governor Mike Dunleavy, is part of an effort to help retain and recruit firefighters here in the Last Frontier. In addition, wildland firefighters will be eligible for extra compensation if they work under particularly dangerous conditions. "This incentive pay really helps us maintain that workforce, retain those employees that we invest a lot of training into and making sure they're available for that Alaskan mission," said Norm McDonald with the Alaska Division of Forestry. Last year, Alaska's Division of Forestry had a serious shortage of firefighters during wildfire season and needed to call in help from the Lower 48. YOUR ALASKA LINK No new fires; backhaul preparation underway at Gold King Creek Fire PHOTOS: This is a report on fires occurring in Division of Alaska Forestry & Fire Protection northern and coastal areas.

WRCB-TV NBC 3 CHATTANOOGA 'Blue Collar Brawler' wrangles nuisance gator at Florida fire station VIDEO: The Blue Collar Brawler has struck again – but this time inside a Florida fire station. Video sent to FOX 35 from the gator trapper whose name is Mike Dragich, shows him barefoot inside a Jacksonville fire station. Firefighters called the trapper to the station because a gator wandered inside. According to Dargich, the gator was inside a pond next to the fire station before making its way inside. The gator had been causing some trouble recently, like coming out of the water when the power company came by to check on a nearby water meter. The footage shows the Blue Collar Brawler grabbing the gator by its tail and eventually sitting on top of its body as a firefighter wrapped the gator's mouth shut with tape. WOFL-TV FOX 35 ORLANDO West Virginia Department of Health releases new protocols for EMS VIDEO: The West Virginia Department of Health has released new protocols for emergency medical services to empower first responders and provide them with faster decision-making capabilities. The new protocols, developed by EMS leaders across the state, took effect on July 1st. According to officials, the protocols address many of the modern-day challenges faced by first responders in the state. This includes the elimination of the "red tape" and communication barriers emergency responders have to navigate while on the job. The protocols build upon Governor Jim Justice's Answer the Call initiative, which officials said has expanded EMS training and workforce capability by 75%. Starting May 1st, the introduction of "treat-in-place" protocols allows eligible patients to receive care at home, reducing emergency room congestion and ensuring ambulance availability for critical cases. WDTV CBS 5 WESTON NASA map captures extent of punishing heat in U.S. The U.S. has contended with unrelenting temperatures this summer, and a map from NASA paints a dire picture of the scale of those persistent heat waves. The map, which consists of a snapshot of temperatures nationwide for July 10, used satellite images — along with a complex mathematical model known as the Goddard Earth Observing System — to create a kind of color code, with dark red showing areas that reached highs of 104 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the NASA Earth Observatory, a program that examines the impact of climate change. The results are stark, indicating potentially dangerous temperatures across nearly the entire continental U.S. The Southwest sustained the brunt of the heat, according to the map, with almost the entire region experiencing triple-digit highs.
