| 'We have a resilient crew': Unalaska's interim fire chief praises first responders for last week's search efforts Unalaska's Fire Department held a staff debriefing last week after leading extensive search efforts for 34-year-old Charlene Malepeai Mamea. Malepeai Mamea's remains were found March 21 in Unalaska Lake. The State Medical Examiner's Office, in Anchorage, is now working to determine the cause of her death. Interim Fire Chief Ben Knowles spoke with KUCB's Laura Kraegel about how Unalaska's career and volunteer firefighters are doing, following the challenging response. The general consensus I got is that, you know, everyone's doing good. We have a resilient crew. And we're a very close-knit, tight family type, as much of a cliche as that is. We lean on each other a lot. We had a lot of really good conversations yesterday , talking about the emotions that everyone's going through. Knowing that we're all going through the same things. And I think that's important. THE BRISTOL BAY TIMES PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| VIDEO: California firefighters battling blaze scramble to safety as building collapses Dramatic video captured the moment two Orange County firefighters narrowly escaped getting crushed by a flaming storefront that suddenly collapsed. More than 40 firefighters responded to a blaze at a strip mall in the 12500 block of Valley View Street in Garden Grove just after 8:40 p.m. Thursday. Video showed the building's facade come crashing down as two firefighters battling the flames scrambled to get away. A knockdown by the Orange County Fire Authority was reported around 9:37 p.m. OCFA said there were no injuries. It's unclear how many businesses were damaged by the blaze. The cause of the fire is under investigation. KABC-TV ABC 7 LOS ANGELES Railroad reimbursing fire departments for damages and losses suffered in Ohio train derailment At least one local fire department received reimbursement from Norfolk Southern for damages and losses suffered in the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio. Gov. Josh Shapiro announced Thursday that Norfolk Southern has completed its first $1 million in reimbursements to Pennsylvania fire departments, first responders and Beaver County Hazmat. Bessemer Borough received $174,699 from Norfolk Southern after having put in a request for the funds last Friday, said Bessemer fire Chief Jeff Breetz. "We put in the request a week ago and we got the payment that night," Breetz said. The department lost a lot of hose, turnout gear, nozzles and other items considered contaminated after the response. "They compensated us for everything we turned in," he said. "They treated us well. We didn't ask for anything we didn't lose." NEW CASTLE NEWS - METERED SITE Can you pull 40,000 pounds of fire truck?

The event is rain or shine, and although there may be a small line of thundershowers late in the morning on Saturday, the event will go on. WOLO-TV ABC 25 COLUMBIA A look back in New York history at the Great Flood of 1913 PHOTOS: As some already know, The Great Sacandaga Lake is a manmade lake, but do you know why it was made? Its purpose began in 1913 when the country's second deadliest flood took thousands of lives across 15 states, and left a quarter of a million homeless. While the flood led to great losses, it also led to the creation of the Sacandaga Lake, (which provides a runoff area for any excess water in the Hudson River, preventing flooding) among other societal advances. According to Trudy E. Bell from New York State Archives Partnership Trust, a strong, high-pressure storm hit the country on Good Friday in March of 1913. The storm brought torrential downpours and in Buffalo, record-breaking winds up to 90 mph! Apparently just North of Albany, 4-6 weeks worth of rain fell over the course of just 5 days. WQBK-FM 105.7 MALTA Over 50,000 hoverboards recalled due to fire hazard, two deaths reported According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, Jetson Electric Bikes recalled their 42-Volt Rogue Self-Balancing Scoots/Hoverboards due to fire hazards that resulted in the deaths of two Pennsylvania girls. A 10-year-old girl and her 15-year-old sister died from a fire on April 1, 2022, in Hellertown, Pennsylvania. The hoverboard was the point of origin for the fire, although the cause of the fire remains undetermined. Fire spread from the originating room to other portions of the house. The girls' parents suffered from smoke inhalation injuries, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. There have been other reports of the hoverboards burning, sparking, and even melting. Some of these instances involved reports of flames, the Consumer Product Safety Commission stated. WHTM-TV ABC 27 HARRISBURG PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
