| Rainbow fentanyl raising concerns in Alaska A new form of fentanyl is causing Alaska law enforcement agencies and health officials to proactively educate the public about the inherent dangers of the drug. Rainbow fentanyl, as it's called, has been found throughout the U.S. While authorities won't confirm if the drug is in Alaska, Department of Public Safety Spokesperson Austin McDaniel said it's likely on its way. "We do feel if rainbow-colored fentanyl — multi-colored fentanyl — isn't already in circulation in Alaska, it's just a matter of time until it will be," McDaniel said. The multi-colored drug comes in pills and powders and looks like candy. Earlier this week, the Alaska Department of Health warned on its Facebook page that rainbow fentanyl could be particularly attractive to children. KTUU-TV NBC 2 ANCHORAGE PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| Firefighters told to wear protective gear less to limit exposure to 'forever chemicals' linked to cancer A firefighters union and a chiefs association are both warning members that the protective gear firefighters wear poses a health risk because it can contain PFAS, synthetic chemicals associated with issues such as an increased risk of liver and kidney cancer. PFAS, short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are often referred to as "forever chemicals" because they're nearly impossible to destroy. They're able to resist stains, grease and water, so are used to make products such as workout clothing, raincoats and firefighters' turnout gear, which is designed to block both moisture and heat. In addition to certain cancers, PFAS have also been linked to risks of low birth weight, high cholesterol and thyroid disease. So on Tuesday, the International Association of Fire Fighters, or IAFF, and the Metropolitan Fire Chiefs Association advised firefighters to wear turnout gear only when absolutely necessary, in order to reduce their exposure to the chemicals. NBC NEWS North Carolina fire rescue department restoring 100-year-old fire truck VIDEO: Next November, the Kernersville Fire Rescue Department will celebrate 100 years of service in the Town of Kernersville. To help mark the day, the Fire Rescue Department is restoring a special piece of history. Over the last several months, the Department has been working to restore a 1923 American LaFrance Brockway Torpedo Fire Truck. It's the department's first fire engine and was purchased in the Summer of 1923 for $6,500. Battalion Chief Barry McLean said the Town of Kernersville helped to fund the special restoration project. "It being around for 100 years makes it special," McLean said. "It is really the only artifact, anything that we can put our hands on from day one of the fire department. That really makes it unique and the fact that it still runs, it's going to have the original engine in it." WFMY-TV CBS 2 GREENSBORO 'It changed my life': Resident thankful for Washington firefighter who fixed up her house VIDEO: Grandma Elsie" can't stop bragging about the firefighter who changed her life. She's in her 90's and said a dramatic life twist came after accidentally setting off her Life Alert pendant. She wears it in case of emergency and one press will alert and dispatch help. The Monroe resident admits she didn't realize she had activated her pendant when she was attempting to mow her lawn. Snohomish Regional Fire & Rescue showed up and learned that it was a false alarm, but firefighter Brandon Huber felt compelled to help with the yard work. "I have four sons so I told her we would come and take care of her lawn," Huber said. That's when Huber started to ask Elsie about the condition of her aging home. "It was in rough shape," Huber said. "Mostly wood and almost no paint to it needed some love." KING-TV NBC 5 SEATTLE Metal etching company creating elements of Ohio's Triangle Factory Fire memorial PHOTOS: More than a century after one of the greatest tragedies in the history of U.S. labor, Akron Metal Etching has been selected to help craft the featured design elements for a permanent artistic memorial being built to honor the victims of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. Underway at the site of the tragedy, the Brown Building in lower Manhattan, the nine-story Triangle fire memorial is titled "Reframing the Sky." It was commissioned by the Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition, which works to keep the broader community connected with the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire. "It's a very cool concept," said Akron Metal Etching President Lee Eisinger. Akron Metal Etching has been headquartered in Akron since 1961, and specializes in creative texturing of molds for rubber, plastics and the die-casting industries. SPECTRUM NEWS 1 - METERED SITE West Alabama ambulance service's unusual strategy to recruit future EMTs is working In early August, NorthStar Ambulance in Tuscaloosa started doing something ‘untraditional' to recruit future EMTs. The strategy seems to be paying off so far. It was back in early August when Northport officials said they need at least 15 prospective EMTs. It appears they're getting just what they needed. Like so many businesses around the country, NorthStar Ambulance felt the sting of COVID. EMTs and paramedics quit and COVID was the blame. So the company did something different. NorthStar started its own ‘Earn While You Learn' program. The goal? Attract potential recruits. It worked, according to Brent Dierking. "We had tremendous success with the jobs fair. Our goal was to receive 50 applications for employment considerations," said NorthStar spokesman Brent Dierking. WBRC-TV FOX 6 BIRMINGHAM PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
