| Becky's Place and Haines Public Safety Building receive federal funding The Haines Public Safety Building is $12 million closer to being replaced. Congress passed a budget bill earlier this month, which included money for a new building. The bill also provided nearly $100-thousand dollars to Becky's Place, a Haines safehouse for survivors of domestic abuse. It's been an ongoing process to replace the 40-year-old Haines Public Safety building. Borough Manager Annette Kreitzer said the current building is "sinking into the ground". She said Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski was "instrumental" in advocating for federal funds to replace the building. "Senator Murkowski came in September of 22, took a tour of the building and promptly called it the "Haines Un-Safety Building." She wanted to go underneath the building and we were like, ‘Not without a hazmat suit,'" Kreitzer said. KHNS-FM 102.3 HAINES PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| VIDEOS: Crews respond to apartment fire in Maryland PHOTOS: Crews were on the scene of a fire that broke out at an apartment building in Hagerstown Thursday night. The Hagerstown Fire Department said the fire at 673 Oak Hill Ave. started around 6:30 p.m. "The firefighters went up to the top and then the flames started shooting out so they came down as quick as they could," neighbor Edye Brockett, said. Flames poured through the roof of the apartment building. Neighbor Julianna, who did not want to give her last name, was watching crews try to put out the fire. "The two windows that are getting sprayed right now just got completely overflown by fire and two firemen hopped on top to try to get it down," she said. "But when they did that … it just blew up in flames." As of just after 2 a.m. on Friday, officials said crews had cleared the scene. WDVM-TV 25 HAGERSTOWN Recharge Room: New space installed for first responders in Arizona to relax, heal VIDEO: Every day, first responders put their lives on the line serving their communities, which can take a toll on their minds and also their bodies. That's why the town of Gilbert is trying a new way to help its firefighters and police officers by installing Recharge Rooms. "Recharge is a simple 33-minute circuit that we use the synergy of togetherness or multi-modally," said Rich Ganley, the executive of Positive Impact Alliance. Installed at the Gilbert Training Facility, the room provides a circuit of proactive and preventative therapies starting out with a red light panel. "Station one is 10 minutes between the light, and at the same time, we use these headsets that play guided meditation while stimulating the vagus nerve," Ganley said. Once that's done, firefighters and police officers step into an infrared sauna for about 20 minutes. KTVK-TV 3 & KPHO-TV CBS 5 PHOENIX (AZ FAMILY) Never-before-seen images reveal scope of 2014 Oso landslide destruction in Washington state VIDEO/PHOTOS: For the first time, photographs of the harrowing devastation caused by the landslide in Snohomish County have been unveiled. Ed Hrivnak, the co-pilot of Snohawk-10, the rescue helicopter that first arrived on the scene, shared his account of the traumatizing events of that day. "It's overwhelming," said Hrivnak. "Steve Klat, who I was flying with, knows the area quite well, and so do I. But when we arrived, everything looked wrong. Steve even questioned where Oso was." The destruction was almost incomprehensible. Houses had been blown apart, cars were compressed to almost nothing except their tires. Assessing the disaster's magnitude was challenging. The trouble didn't end there. As they attempted their rescue mission, the terrain's instability made holding a steady hovering position a challenge. KCPQ-TV FOX 13 SEATTLE Related: How Oso slide changed local emergency response ‘on virtually every level’ Biden cancels nearly $6 billion in student debt for 78K public service workers including firefighters President Joe Biden announced Thursday that the White House has approved the cancellation of nearly $6 billion in federal student debt for thousands of public service workers. The 78,000 eligible public service workers include teachers, nurses and firefighters, according to the White House. "These public service workers have dedicated their careers to serving their communities, but because of past administrative failures, never got the relief they were entitled to under the law," Biden said in a statement touting the move. "From day one of my Administration, I promised to fix broken student loan programs and make sure higher education is a ticket to the middle class, not a barrier to opportunity," Biden continued.
