| 17 units respond to Anchorage hotel fire A hotel on Spenard Road went up in flames Sunday morning, leaving many looking for temporary shelter. The Anchorage Fire Department responded with 17 units to 4300 Spenard Road at 5:50 a.m., according to department spokesperson Alex Boyd. Photos circulating online showed flames on the roof of the America's Best Value Inn and Suites on Spenard. Boyd said there were no reported injuries or deaths in the blaze, which was brought under control at 7:24 a.m. Boyd said the fire was discovered in the overhead and third floor attic space of the building, which was promptly evacuated. A firefighter on the scene told Alaska's News Source that the fire is still being attended to due to insulation in the roof area that is highly flammable and easy to spark.

| VIDEO: 2 firefighters injured while battling house fire in Delaware Two firefighters were taken to an area hospital after they were injured while battling a two-alarm house fire in New Castle County, Delaware. According to officials, the fire began at about 9:45 p.m. in the 100 block of Belmont Drive in Pike Creek. When crews arrived, heavy smoke was showing from a two-story home. Everyone inside the home was able to get out safety, but two firefighters were injured. Their condition was not made available. WPVI-TV ABC 6 PHILADELPHIA Maine antique fire truck is still going strong after 100 years PHOTOS: It has raced to fires, rolled through parades, is part of a museum and still works. One hundred years after "Old Engine One" first rolled into Caribou, the 1922 American LaFrance pumper is still the pride and joy of the city's fire and EMS department. In a time when old vehicles end up in metal compactors, the city of Caribou sees the treasure in its first fire truck and works hard to preserve it. "It's like a [time] capsule; it's been part of this town for years," said firefighter Adam Chartier. "My grandfather [Gus McCarthy] rode on that truck in the 1940s." Though Caribou has gone through numerous engine trucks since Old Engine One retired in 1956, the truck has connected firefighters of multiple generations. Old Engine One has brought firefighters on their "last rides" after their deaths and is part of local family histories. BANGOR DAILY NEWS - METERED SITE 82 firefighters honored at California Fire Foundation memorial for line of duty deaths Firefighters, their families, departments and community leaders gathered in Sacramento on Saturday to pay tribute to the 82 California firefighters who lost their lives in the line of duty with a memorial ceremony at the Safe Credit Union Convention Center. "It's solemn, but we also want it be as uplifting as it can be to help those family members remember," said Rick Martinez, the executive director of the California Fire Foundation. Marking 20 years of the California Firefighters Memorial in Sacramento's Capitol Park and the first in-person memorial event since the start of the pandemic, the ceremony honored families who lost a loved one in 2020, 2021 and 2022. Families of each fallen firefighter were presented with a flag during the memorial. KCRA-TV NBC 3 SACRAMENTO NTSB joins probe of Connecticut's ‘rare' electric bus fire; only 18 verified incidents globally since 2010 It's rare for an electric bus to burst into flames in the way a state-operated one did last month at a Hamden bus depot, but the same can't be said for all electric vehicles, according to industry experts. And the National Transportation Safety Board, a federal agency that investigates significant transportation accidents, has joined the efforts to determine the exact cause of the fire. "Working with Connecticut State Police and state officials, NTSB is investigating a fire that consumed a CTtransit battery electric bus (July 23) in Hamden, Connecticut. The bus was in a maintenance facility at the time," the NTSB tweeted Friday afternoon. The fire, which destroyed one of CTtransit's dozen electric buses, was the first of its kind for the state's fleet. The rest of the electric fleet was pulled from service since then. CT INSIDER Fire departments across the country focus on female recruitment VIDEO: Fire departments across the country are using various different tactics to recruit more females. Efforts are happening at a boot camp in Boise, Idaho, a girl's summer camp in Charlotte, North Carolina, to recruiting college athletes in Columbus, Ohio, and changing public perception in Lexington, Kentucky. Fire departments across the country are doing various different events and recruitment strategies to get more women interested in careers in firefighting and EMS. Longtime female leaders in the fire service say it starts with department culture. "I think that if an organizational culture is not inclusive or is not welcoming and open to everybody, that can make a really tough atmosphere for any outsider to come in," noted Amy Hanifan, president of the organization Women in Fire.
