| Structure fire near Eielson AFB sparks Piledriver Slough Fire, threatens power lines PHOTOS: A burning building just south of Eielson Air Force Base ignited a wildfire that spread to about 3 acres Wednesday afternoon. There were no reports of injuries, but the fire produced a plume of noxious black smoke and slowed traffic along the Richardson Highway. The state Division of Forestry got a report at around 4 p.m. Wednesday that a burning structure just east of milepost 344 of the Richardson Highway had sparked a wildfire in a low-density residential area. "It would be in what we call a critical suppression zone," says Lily Coyle, a Forestry spokesperson. Coyle said multiple area fire departments responded to what by then had been designated as the Piledriver Slough Fire. "It was Salcha Fire and Rescue, Eielson Air Force Base and Golden Valley Electric Association, along with Division of Forestry and Fire Protection resources that responded initially," she said in an interview Wednesday.

| VIDEO: Firefighters extinguish large fire at abandoned Texas warehouse PHOTOS: Fire crews could be seen battling massive flames at an abandoned warehouse along the 4700 block of Rittiman Road on Thursday night. SAFD Chief Charles Hood said no one appeared to be hurt in the fire, which sparked shortly before 9 p.m. and drew a response of nearly 40 units. A cause has not yet been determined. By 9:45 p.m. large flames were no longer visible, but crews remained on scene to extinguish hotspots. With the sound of fire crews banging in the now-destroyed building behind him, Hood said the structure's deteriorating conditions made it particularly hazardous. Hood cited the possibility of "human activity" in and around the building, despite its apparent vacancy. KENS-TV CBS 5 SAN ANTONIO New Seattle fire unit focuses on electrical fires VIDEO: The Seattle Fire Department (SFD) and Seattle City Light are rolling out a new Energy Response Unit to address electrical fires in substations and underground faults. The unit includes 44 firefighters specifically trained to fight energy-related fires, a new rig with 11,000 pounds of carbon dioxide and 600 feet of hose line. The aim is to put out fires safely and quickly to minimize destruction to expensive equipment and the power outages that would follow. "These fires are rare but can cause catastrophic impacts to infrastructure, possibly causing widespread power outages, and none of us want to see that," SFD Chief Harold Scoggins said. "[This is] the most capable apparatus in the nation for extinguishing these types of powers." KING-TV NBC 5 SEATTLE Florida firefighter shares his journey with PTSD to raise awareness VIDEO: In firehouses like the St. Petersburg Fire Rescue Master Station, there's rarely a dull moment. So it shouldn't surprise you that firefighter Chris Gordon's response number has a few zeroes behind it after 24 years on the job. "I'm going to ballpark maybe, 8 or 9,000 calls I've been on," he said. Gordon told ABC Action News those thousands include some of the best calls that you can receive as a first responder. "In my career, I've helped assist three deliveries of babies," he said. But he added that they also include some of the worst calls. "[Over the years] We had multiple fatality fires," said Gordon. "I definitely had a lot more positive outcomes, you know, than negative ones or fatal ones, but you definitely remember the bad ones. They're the ones that stick with you the most." And they're decades of service that Gordon said also came with a cost. WFTS-TV ABC 28 TAMPA How a Missouri zoo uses old fire hoses as furniture for animals VIDEO/PHOTOS: The Willard Fire Department has been donating its old fire hoses to the Dickerson Park Zoo for a few years. Fire hoses are required to pass a pressure test for use. If they fail, they are used for training purposes or are disposed of. The Dickerson Park Zoo asked Willard Fire if they could have the unused fire hoses and Willard Fire said yes. The zookeepers have learned weaving techniques to create an assortment of furniture, toys, and feeders made of donated fire hoses. They have made hammocks, balls, beds and climbing furniture for the otters, lions, tigers and bears. "Thanks for giving us a meaningful way to recycle our worn-out fire hoses," said a post from the Willard Fire Protection District Facebook page. WDAF-TV FOX 4 KANSAS CITY FDNY uncovers 'death trap' of lithium-ion batteries inside commercial space VIDEO: The FDNY made a major bust earlier this week while inspecting for illegal lithium-ion batteries. So far this year, the batteries have caused fires that have killed more than a dozen people, including four last week. Officials told CBS New York what they uncovered this week in Chinatown was a ticking time bomb. Lithium-ion batteries were crammed next to each other, much closer than the required three feet apart. "This location was truly a death trap," FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh said. Kavanagh said an inspection a few days ago at 91 Canal St., uncovered firefighters' worst nightmare -- lithium-ion batteries in a tight space, with residences above. "Multiple fire hazards -- damaged batteries, overloaded power strips," Kavanagh said. WCBS-TV CBS 2 NEW YORK PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
