| Rabbit Creek committee in Anchorage helping residents plan before disaster strikes In the wake of the Hiland Road Avalanche, some people are asking themselves if they know who to call during a disaster, and what they should bring with them during an evacuation. The Rabbit Creek Community Council Resilience Committee is helping residents stay prepared and informed in case disaster strikes. The committee did not form because of what happened recently, but organized a prior natural disaster. Anchorage has already seen its fair share of disasters and as fire season approaches, Rabbit Creek Community Council Resilience Committee Chair Ky Holland said there are about 1,000 homes across the hillside, and a large number of homes in Bear Valley that have a single road going in and out. For the past three years, he and others are helping residents stay prepared in the event of an emergency. The committee is also informing residents how quickly a wildfire can spread.

KTTV FOX 11 LOS ANGELES FDNY inclusion training helps trans community feel respected, protected The FDNY has been making all the difference in how EMTs and other frontline workers respond to calls. The goal of the department's diversity training is to make the transgender community feel more comfortable calling 911. The transgender sensitivity training is taught by firefighter Brooke Guinan, who knows what it is like to be on the other side of the uniform, needing the help of emergency services while battling depression. She used her personal experience to help write the lesson plan. "I remember being a trans person dialing 911," Guinan told PIX11 News, "and genuinely being fearful … I didn't know how they were going to interact with me, or treat me, or if they would see my humanity." Fellow transgender firefighter Krys Freebes said representation matters. "At the end of the day, we are all humans," Freebes said. WPIX-TV CW 11 NEW YORK Connecticut firefighters rescue ‘Justin Beaver' trapped in water PHOTOS: Firefighters have freed a trapped beaver and perhaps bestowed it with a pop music career. Firefighters rescued the critter last week and nicknamed it "Justin Beaver." Ridgefield firefighters responded to an undisclosed residential property for a report of an animal trapped in water. Photos the firefighters posted on social media show the beaver was stuck in wires. The Ridgefield Professional Firefighters said on Facebook that the firefighters managed to successfully free the beaver. CT INSIDER - METERED SITE Firefighters concerned about possible change to Iowa's fireworks law Local fire departments are expressing concerns about a bill now on the way to Gov. Kim Reynolds' desk. Currently, cities and counties in Iowa can decide where fireworks are sold. If the bill becomes law, fireworks stands would be allowed in commercial and industrial zones in every city and county in the state. Clive Firefighter Clay Garcia showed KCCI security camera video from 2019. The video shows discharged fireworks sparked in a garbage can, igniting an entire container of explosives. Garcia says fire departments are not in favor of the bill allowing fireworks to be sold in industrial and commercial zones. "Putting those stands next to businesses is a recipe for disaster. We as a city know that better than anyone else," Garcia said. Senate Democrats argued the bill is dangerous. KCCI-TV CBS 8 DES MOINES Distracted Driving Remains a Serious Problem in New Jersey Kicking off National Distracted Driving Awareness Month, Acting Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin and the Division of Highway Traffic Safety (HTS) today announced the results of a 2021 study that found at any given time, one in five drivers on selected high-crash corridors in New Jersey were driving distracted. The study, commissioned by HTS and conducted by Rowan University, also provided insight into distracted driver behavior and identified key factors that contribute to it. Also in observance of National Distracting Driving Awareness Month, HTS today rolled out an updated version of its successful 2021 "Take Control of Your Destiny" distracted driving awareness campaign and launched "U Drive. U Text. U Pay.", a statewide, month-long enforcement campaign targeting distracted driving. "Distracted driving kills people – it is that simple. And these deaths are entirely preventable," said Acting Attorney General Platkin. ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS HERALD PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
