| Juneau receives first wave of new federal COVID relief funding The CBJ has received over 6.9 million dollars so far, with the second half expected to come in around 12 months later. Jeff Rogers, the Finance Director for CBJ, said the funding allows the city to spend that money on the things that would normally spend from general funds like Police, Fire, Parks and Recreation, Library, Museum, and street maintenance. "So basically, we're spending ARPA on regular city government including police and fire and streets and everything else we do." He also said because Juneau is a city and a borough, CBJ gets county funding and city funding "We in Juneau enjoy the benefits of a unified municipality, meaning that borough and city governments are run by one elected body and one administration. That's quite different from most places in the country, but there are some cities where that's true even in the lower 48. And because we are a city in a county, we got both portions."

| Firefighters Extinguish Fire At Los Angeles Karaoke Bar And Pool Hall VIDEO: It took 100 firefighters about an hour and a half to get the upper hand on a blaze that gutted a Koreatown karaoke bar and pool hall at 207 S. Vermont Ave. on Thursday. The Los Angeles Fire Department said they were actually able to get crews inside the building at first, but the intensity of the fire grew in the attic. Crews cut some holes in the roof, but the flames spread too fast and firefighters were forced to pull back. Shortly thereafter, the roof collapsed. "All of our members on the inside, they recognized the signs that this was not gonna be a fire they were gonna get a hold of, and the roof companies that were up on top, they were already feeling the roof was getting soft," said Steve Hissong, Incident Commander with LAFD. Witness John Wesley said it's not the first time this strip mall has seen what he referred to as "odd fires." KCAL-TV CBS 2 LOS ANGELES Texas fire rescue offers future ‘Chicago Fire' actor insight into rookie life VIDEO: A Lubbock native is headed to Chicago in December as he embarks on a new role in the hit television show Chicago Fire. First, he wanted to stop by and learn from his hometown heroes. "I think it's very, very important whenever you can become this character months before," Ynez Spencer said. "And, I think it's very important to show up ready to go." That's a lesson in acting but also a lesson in being a rookie firefighter he learned during his time touring Lubbock Fire Station 1 on Thursday. "I'm sure he's gonna have great people there advising him," LFR Captain Phillip Grandon said. "It's just different, though. A show is not the same as real life. So, I did want him to know when a rookie shows up to the fire station, this is what they do. It's a lot of work. You're the new guy. You're having to prove yourself to the other crew members with a lot of little trivial things. As a rookie, are you willing to be humble to do all these trivial things really well." KCBD-TV NBC 11 LUBBOCK Florida fire department warns of golf cart explosion dangers The Seminole County Fire Department says golf carts and other low-emission vehicles are becoming more popular in Central Florida but they are also causing a fire concern. "The big problem we are worried about with hydrogen gas is the explosiveness of the hydrogen gas it has a wide flammable range," said Lt. Todd Zellers of the agency's special hazards team. In the last three months the department has received three calls of carbon monoxide alarms going of but in reality, he says, the alarms were picking up hydrogen gas caused by overcharged batteries. "We go there in time. We were able to isolate it to the golf cart in the garage on all three events and get the battery unplugged," said Zellers. Hydrogen gas isn't as toxic as carbon monoxide but could cause fire and explosions. WOFL-TV FOX 35 ORLANDO North Carolina sues 14 manufacturers of firefighting foam, alleging PFAS contaminates groundwater The North Carolina Department of Justice filed suit Thursday against more than a dozen manufacturers of firefighting foam that contains toxic "forever chemicals," accusing the companies of failing to tell those using the foam how to properly handle it, leading to groundwater contamination at four sites across the state. N.C. Attorney General Josh Stein is announcing the lawsuits this morning at a Charlotte briefing alongside members of the Charlotte International Association of Fire Fighters Local 660 and the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services. "We want the companies that manufactured this product, knew or should have known of its risks and then sold it to either the local government for the firefighters or the federal government to pay to clean up the PFAS and remove the risk to North Carolinians," Stein told The News & Observer. THE TIMES NEWS COVID is still crushing parts of the U.S. as the holiday season approaches The U.S. has settled into an uneasy, drawn-out exit from the delta surge that took hold over the summer. For many weeks, declining cases and hospitalizations have offered hope ahead of the holiday season, when Americans travel and spend more time indoors, but progress has stalled recently, with cases rising or plateauing in more than 20 states. In fact, the country's daily average of cases has hovered around 72,000 infections for the past two weeks as outbreaks smolder, particularly in the northern half of the country. About 40,000 people are in the hospital with COVID-19, under half of the peak in early September. The Mountain West — where vaccination coverage tends to be lower — is the worst off, especially Colorado, Wyoming and Montana. Parts of the Southwest and Midwest are also trying to control an uptick.
