| Camper trailer fire breaks out at Anchorage encampment VIDEO: A large fire put billowing black smoke into the sky over Anchorage Thursday morning as fire crews rushed to put out a camper trailer near Cuddy Family Midtown Park, according to officials. "I just didn't really believe what I heard," said Jared Peltola, who witnessed the fire. "It was like an explosion out of a movie ... I didn't think it was the camper next door on fire." Peltola recalled hearing "big bangs" and thought that it could have been from the explosion of ammo and propane tanks. A spokesperson with the Anchorage Fire Department said multiple units responded to the blaze at 9:10 a.m. and were at the scene by 9:16 a.m. Acting Cpt. Ryan Sorsdahl on the scene said there were no reported injuries or deaths associated with the fire. KTUU-TV NBC 2 ANCHORAGE PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| VIDEO: Driver escapes fuel truck explosion, inferno on Florida's Turnpike A fuel tanker truck crashed, exploded, and erupted in flames on Florida's Turnpike in west Boynton Beach on Friday morning, shutting down all lanes of the highway and causing major traffic backups for miles. Palm Beach County Fire Rescue said the fiery wreck happened on the Hypoluxo Road overpass, just north of Boynton Beach Boulevard, shortly before 6 a.m. The tanker was the only vehicle involved in the crash, and amazingly, the driver escaped with no injuries. "The impact of the crash split the tanker open and the fuel was actively burning, sending a large plume of black smoke that could be seen from far away," Palm Beach County Fire Rescue said in a written news release. Fire officials said the semi truck was carrying approximately 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel and 7,500 gallons of gasoline.

The crash occurred at 1:55 p.m. on Highway 41 northbound just south of Minter Road, the department said. Northbound lanes and one southbound lane were closed for around four hours before being reopened at 5:50 p.m. The department said a Spalding County fire engine was parked in the left lane of Highway 41 northbound Thursday afternoon with its lights activated while the crew was responding to a crash in the south lanes. A bucket truck traveling north in the left lane crashed into the back of the fire engine and overturned, trapping the driver in the truck, the department said. ATLANTA NEWS FIRST Training together after One October helped Las Vegas emergency crews respond to UNLV shooting efficiently VIDEO: Emergency crews across Las Vegas knew exactly how to handle an active shooter because they did it before on October 1, 2017. After 60 people were killed, departments across Clark County studied what could have been done differently. Departments developed specific protocol and training in the years following what would become the deadliest mass shooting in the country. "What I think was most amazing to me was there was seamless integration regardless of what kind of uniform you were wearing, there was zero hesitation and they just executed unbelievably well," said Sheriff Kevin McMahill of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. He credited that to the joint training conducted across multiple jurisdictions including LVMPD, Clark County Fire, Community Ambulance, and other departments. KVVU-TV FOX 5 HENDERSON Connecticut fire department warns of Christmas tree fires VIDEO: The North Haven Fire Department wants you to stay safe this holiday season, so they're raising awareness about potential hazards in your home. The department hosted a public safety demonstration on Thursday, where they converted a shipping container into a makeshift home with a Christmas tree. North Haven Fire Chief Paul Januszewski said the real-time scenario shows how fast a fire can spread. "Having a real Christmas tree in your house, especially one that's dry, is almost the equivalent of having gasoline sitting in your living room," Januszewski said. The "gasoline" fueled the fire, and within five minutes, the living room setting was set up in flames. But there are safety tips to keep in mind, like making sure you water your Christmas tree.
