| Nikiski structure fire kills 1 Alaska State Troopers are investigating a structure fire that killed a woman in Nikiski last week. Troopers reported Monday that the Nikiski Fire Department responded to the fire around 6 a.m. last week near Island Lake in Nikiski. Troopers say firefighters found a travel trailer and motorhome on fire at the scene. Responders found a woman's body in the travel trailer while they were putting the fire out. Troopers say the woman's body was sent to the State Medical Examiner's Office for autopsy and positive identification. The cause of the fire and the woman's death are being investigated by the Alaska State Fire Marshals and State Troopers. On Tuesday, Department of Public Safety spokesperson Tim DeSpain said the actual cause of the fire had still not yet been determined. He said that was due to "many ignition sources that were discovered." KDLL-FM 91.9 KENAI PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| VIDEO: Crews battle massive house fire in historic Detroit neighborhood PHOTOS: Crews battled a massive house fire in the Palmer Woods Historic District early Wednesday morning. The home near 7 Mile and Woodward in Detroit can be seen with flames shooting out of the roof in the main house on Oct. 9. Local 4 learned the homeowners were living in the guest house while fixing up the main home—they are okay. According to Historic Detroit, the Mirton Briggs House was built in the 1920s as a spec house by Clarence E Day. The first owner was Mirton L. Briggs, Vice President of the Briggs Manufacturing Co., manufacturer of automobile bodies. It was last sold in June 2023 for $950,000. At this time, there is no word on what caused the fire. WDIV-TV NBC 4 DETROIT Fire department in California helps military members transition into life after service VIDEO: The Oceanside Fire Department recently adopted the SkillBridge program, helping service members step into their professional lives outside of the military. "They're able to work on the ambulance and get real world experience that really does matter for them to get that next job," said Oceanside Fire Chief David Parsons. The Department of Defense program pairs with professions all over the country to give military members unique work experience, but locally there was nothing quite like this. "This is one of the few programs I saw that actually gives you the experience of actually treating patients and operating on a 911 platform, so that's why I 100% went for this," said Naval Petty Officer Reid Dillion. Dillion sees this setting the stage for his dream of being a doctor. KUSI-TV FOX 5 SAN DIEGO New NIOSH Center Addresses Firefighter Safety and Health Risks The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has announced the launch of its new Center for Firefighter Safety, Health and Well-being. According to a recent release, this initiative aims to improve the health and safety of firefighters by addressing the specific hazards they face in their line of work. This focus extends to both immediate dangers as well as long-term health risks on the job. "Firefighters are vital to the safety of our communities, risking their health and safety to protect our own," NIOSH Director John Howard said in a statement. "The [center] allows NIOSH to bring together our research and knowledge in a way to better protect firefighters from both immediate and long-term risks from their jobs." OCCUPATIONAL HEATH & SAFETY Florida hospital sets up 'aquafence,' preparedness plan ahead of Hurricane Milton As the Tampa Bay area braces for Hurricane Milton's landfall, officials with Tampa General Hospital announced they have opened their incident command center and implemented their preparedness plan. That plan includes setting up their "aquafence," a water-impermeable barrier that can withstand storm surge up to 15 feet above sea level, and stocking important supplies at all of their locations. "We have a proactive and comprehensive plan in place to protect our locations against severe weather so we can continue to provide the exceptional care for which our patients turn to Tampa General," said Assistant Director of Public Safety Erinn Skiba. The hospital will also look to its Central Energy Plant, a 16,000-square-foot on-site energy source that will provide backup power to the building if there's a disruption. WTSP-TV CBS 10 ST.
