| Alaska's largest April wildfire in 25 years could be done burning Alaska's biggest April wildfire in 25 years might be done burning. Damage to the permafrost from the tundra fire is unlikely, but the local ecosystem could still see signs of disruption. The Kwethluk Fire began burning on April 16 near the communities of Kwethluk, Bethel and Napakiak. The fire was around 650 acres the first day and grew to more than 10,000 acres over the course of 12 days. Now, the Alaska Division of Forestry says the fire has mostly burnt out. That's according to the Alaska Division of Forestry. Pilot and firefighter Matt Snyder flew over the fire on April 26 and took infrared video showing it had died down considerably. "The infrared is showing white hot, and that's showing the solar radiation in the fire, not actual heat," said Snyder ALASKA PUBLIC MEDIA True Survival Story: Firewise & Fuel Breaks Helped Save Alaskans During Fast Moving McKinley Fire 2019 Alaskan wildfire survivor Pete Petram describes the terrifying moments he and his wife Sandy spent as flames crossed Hidden Hills Road while evacuating the explosive 2019 McKinley Fire. "Sandy could feel the heat through the door as we drove through it. We left and didn't know if our place was going to make it or not," Pete said. As Alaskans, we are all in this together. Homeowners spending the time to Firewise their properties, homes, businesses and cabins is critical. If you haven't already, take steps now. Start by clearing debris, woodpiles and other flammable materials from within 5 feet of your home, building or business. Pete and Sandy had worked hard to prepare for wildfire, and their home and outbuildings were saved because of the defensible spaces they created. AK FIRE INFO PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| VIDEO: New York firefighters rescue climber trapped on cliff in Jamesville Quarry As Syracuse firefighter Chris Duffy scaled down the side of the Jamesville Quarry he was calm as could be, despite hanging more than 80 feet over the base of the quarry. "I don't think it could have gone any better," Duffy said. Duffy and several other members of the Syracuse Fire Department were called to the quarry at 9:13 p.m. last Friday for reports of a climber stuck about 80 feet up on the side of the quarry near Rock Cut Road in DeWitt. The climber had been attempting to scale the near-vertical cliffside without a rope or a climbing partner, they said. She became stuck when she realized there was no safe way to continue upward or to climb back down, which left her stranded well after it was dark out. The SFD rescue crew was brought into the quarry on utility vehicles loaded with gear necessary for the rescue, Lt. Jeremy Burton said. SYRACUSE.COM Firefighter injured after falling out of New Jersey fire truck en route to call A Hamilton firefighter was injured Thursday when he fell out of a fire truck while en route to a call in the Mercer County town on Wednesday. The firefighter was in the front passenger's seat of the rig with its lights and sirens on just before 1:30 p.m. when the passenger door opened and he tumbled to the ground near the corner of Nottingham Way and Donald Drive, Hamilton police said. "He was leaning on the door and it gave way," a Hamilton police spokesman said. "There was some bleeding to his head and he was brought to Capital Health [hospital] with moderate injuries." The truck was taken out of service. A photo from Peterson's Breaking News shows it was Engine 14. The Hamilton Fire Division couldn't be reached for more information. NEW JERSEY ADVANCE - NJ.COM Tennessee junior firefighters train to defend reigning championship in first competition since 2019 VIDEO: Junior Fire cadets in New Market were getting in one last training session Thursday evening before heading off to the Warren County Junior Firefighter Competition in North Carolina this weekend. Market Junior Cadets are the reigning champions of the nationwide competition. It will be the first competition since 2019 after it was put on pause because of the pandemic. In the competition, teams of students between 13 years old and 18 years old compete against groups from across the country to see who can complete drills the fastest. It's the New Market Junior Firefighter team's third time headed to competition. It's something they said they'd been looking forward to for more than 2 years now. For them, it's a way to prepare for their future careers. "For me, it means a lot because I look up to the fire service. I like it and it's something I want to be a part of when I get older," said Isaac Cook, a junior firefighter. WBIR-TV NBC 10 KNOXVILLE Meet the Louisiana parade that's been rolling long before most Mardi Gras krewes Throughout the early centuries, fires would rage in growing wooden-structured urban communities across the United States. Over the years, fire departments would begin with bucket brigades, pump, and eventually steam engines. But, as costly as fires are, the resources to fight them are as well. The Thibodaux Firemen's Fair and Parade began both as revelry and a way to fund the fire department. It's believed to be the oldest continuous parade in the country. "My family's involvement is not different than the history of a lot of families in Thibodaux. My great-great-grandfather was a captain of the Thibodaux Fire Department No. 1 and the Protective Fire Company No. 2, of which I am a member, and was formed in 1867. There has been a member of my family in it since it started." WGNO-TV ABC 26 NEW ORLEANS PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
