The Bering Sea Bar and Grill is gone after a fire started in the building on the evening of Sept. 17 as Nome was being buffeted by a powerful fall storm. "Definitely was an active fire. We had three go to the hospital, get treated and released. There were no deaths involved," Nome Volunteer Fire Department Chief Jim West Jr. said. TJ Wright, a local Nome resident who witnessed the fire, told KNOM he heard an explosion after some propane tanks burst and the Bering Sea Bar and Grill was, "engulfed in flames, sending embers flying all over town." Firefighters demolished the building Saturday evening to keep the fire from spreading to other buildings. "The bar itself, the restaurant was a total loss. We were able to save the hotel, which is three feet next to it," West said.

An old, abandoned warehouse building goes up in flames Tuesday evening in downtown Jackson. The facility, which used to be an old recycling building, is located at the intersection of Monument and Palmyra Streets. Crews with the Jackson Fire Department spent hours putting out the blaze. Chief Willie Owens says the fire broke out around 4 p.m. Chief Owens says no one was inside the building when the fire broke out. Firefighters tell us tires and plastic car parts were inside the abandoned building. Although the fire department was able to get the blaze contained, the chief said there were a few issues and challenges trying to dose the fire. "The challenge is trying to get close enough to the fire. As you can see, the powerlines up here, if we could've got a truck on this side, like a ladder truck, and if we could've got under those wires, we could've been much more effective," said Chief Owens.

You expect to find firefighters at a fire department. But what you may not expect to find is a firefighting robot like the one on display at the Greenwood Fire Department in Moosic. It's called the Super Vac TAF 35 Mobile Firefighting Robot. It's remote-controlled and can pour 1,200 gallons of water a minute on a fire. "The video surveillance that it has on it also has thermal imaging, so it could help for looking for occupants in the building or looking for hotspots of the fire. right here in Moosic, we are looking at starting just over a million square foot warehouse, so that's a lot of ground to cover," said Buddy Miller, Greenwood Fire Department. "Sending an unmanned unit in, in the event of a potential collapse hazard, it allows you to get into the deep seed of a fire without endangering some of your firefighter lives," said Dana Shaffer, SuperVac Manufacturing.

VIDEO: The Boston Fire Department's alarm boxes are the same as they ever were – 170 years on the job, and they still work. They are brightly colored, well-marked and appear every 1,000 feet on Boston streets. Still, the vast communications system has, through time and familiarity, become almost invisible — hidden in plain sight. Even in a world filled with cell phones, the old system still has its place. There's no language barrier, no location confusion and no delay. Pull the hook and help can be there within four minutes. Boston's system, consisting of about 1,200 fire alarm boxes, is the oldest fire alarm system in the country. In fact, the technology, if you could call it that, is the same as when these boxes first went up in 1852. It is essentially a telegraph using morse code.

Following concerns about the rise of e-bike and e-scooter fires in the US, firefighters hosted a national event to raise awareness about the potential risks posed by lithium-ion batteries. Hosted by the Fire Department of New York in mid-September, the symposium was attended by 300 people from across North America, including the National Bicycle Dealers Association president Heather Mason. According to the NBDA, e-mobility products are the third biggest cause of fires in New York. Earlier this year the NBDA and consultancy Human Powered Solutions (HPS) launched a campaign to educate retailers and the industry at large about the growing safety problem that has been created by the surge in consumer purchases of electric bicycles and scooters that utilise lithium-ion batteries.

September 24 marks a dark day for Sacramento. It was 50 years ago that 22 people died — 12 of them children — when a jet taking off from Sacramento Executive Airport overran the runway and slammed into Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour. Witness accounts indicate about 100 people were inside the popular eatery when the inexperienced pilot who had participated in the Golden West Sport Aviation Show changed their lives forever. Twenty-five people were injured, many with serious burns. Margie Smith, who lived nearby with her husband and three young children remembers that Sunday like it was yesterday. "Our neighbor's daughter told us about the crash. But that's all we knew," she recalled. "It wasn't until the next morning that we learned how close to home it hit."
