| Yukon Creek Fire prompts evacuation preparations along Salcha River Officials placed residents off the road system and recreational cabins in the Middle Salcha River and Upper Salcha River Zones in "set" status with the Lower Salcha River in "ready" status as a result of a very active Yukon Creek Fire. The statement from officials went on to say that "when evacuation status changes, we will work with emergency management staff to make those announcements." The Yukon Creek Fire, which has grown to 12,489 acres, is part of the recently named Middle Tanana Complex, and also includes the Marshall Mountain, Central Creek, Central Creek Airstrip, Porcupine Creek, South Fork, Gold Hub, California Creek and Gilles Creek fires. All of these fires remain active and as of 9 a.m. Alaska Time Saturday, have burned a combined 50,276 acres in an area east of the Richardson Highway from Delta Junction to Eielson Air Force Base. KTUU-TV NBC 2 ANCHORAGE Bean Complex growth causes Evacuation Recommendations on three fires Twelve consecutive days of hot dry weather and Red Flag conditions have set the Bean Complex fires on a path of active fire behavior with steady and persistent growth. These conditions are expected to persist through the weekend into early next week, with additional chances for thunderstorms and no appreciable amounts of rainfall. A Red Flag Warning is in effect through midnight today to account for the lightning potential. After careful consideration, fire officials have issued an Evacuation Recommendation for areas likely to be impacted by the Bean Complex Fires. Please see the Evacuation Recommendation map here. The fires have steadily grown and predicted fire weather is likely to cause additional high to extreme fire behavior. ALASKA WILDLAND FIRE INFORMATION PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| VIDEO: Historic 338-year-old hotel in Massachusetts damaged in massive fire The historic Veranda House Hotel on Nantucket Island, Massachusetts, was damaged Saturday after a huge blaze ripped through the building. Firefighters received a report that the hotel, which is more than 338 years old, was on fire early Saturday, the Nantucket Fire Department said in a news release. Fire officials rushed to help, entering the building without protective equipment, to ensure that no one was stranded in the inferno, the report said. Two people were found and guided out safely, the fire department said. All hotel guests were evacuated. The fire department reported that no civilians were injured in the fire. "The actions of the citizens and the Captain saved lives," the report said. As of 2:30 p.m. Saturday, firefighters continued to battle to flames. Two firefighters were taken to hospitals for suspected heat exhaustion, and another was transported for a back injury, the report said. NBC NEWS Related: Off-duty firefighter who ran into Nantucket hotel fire credits team effort Wyoming firefighter artist honors comrades with sculpture PHOTO: At a training facility out of public view off Highway 287, local firefighters conduct exercises to prepare for all types of emergencies. Now those firefighters are greeted by a massive steel sculpture commemorating the work they do to protect the community. Local firefighter Brandon Russell collaborated with Laramie Public Art Coalition to create the sculpture, titled "The Vitruvian Firefighter." The large metal work is a nod to Leonardo da Vinci's famous drawing "The Vitruvian Man," said Laura Zorch McDermit, LPAC executive director. Da Vinci's original features a man with arms and legs spread with a circle drawn around the perimeter of his body. Similarly, "The Vitruvian Firefighter" features a firefighter in protective gear in the same pose. NEWS LETTER JOURNAL Reaching new heights: Ohio fire department drone offers life-saving technology at feed mill fire A quick decision to break out a new drone may have saved a life at a June 17 fire scene. Scott Wolfe was out to dinner with his family that Friday when he got a call about a fire at the MARS Horsecare facility in Dalton. Crews from multiple departments responded. A drone with thermal imaging technology the Wooster Township Fire Department had acquired just days earlier was about to be thrust into service for the first time, and Wolfe was the only one on staff qualified to operate it. Dinner would have to wait. Wolfe, a volunteer water rescue team diver for the department and certified drone pilot, raced out after swinging by the station to pick up the drone and put it through a quick test run. The DJI M30T is one of the newest drones on the market, said Wolfe. It's ready to fly within 30 seconds of being turned on and can soar as high as 400 feet within 20 seconds. THE DAILY RECORD - METERED SITE Park outdoors: Ford expands recall for possible engine fires Ford is expanding a recall of SUVs and telling owners to park them outside after a series of engine fires that can happen even when the ignition switches are off. The company also announced Friday that it's recalling another 100,000 SUVs in the U.S. for a different problem that also causes engine fires. In May, Ford recalled about 39,000 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator large SUVs in the U.S. and told owners to park them outdoors and away from buildings. On Friday, the company expanded that recall to cover more than 66,000 vehicles from the 2021 model year after getting reports of five more fires. At the time of the first recall, Ford didn't know what was causing the fires. But on Friday the company said it has traced the cause to printed circuit boards that are susceptible to an electrical short. The company says it has reports of 21 fires and one injury, but no reports of fires extending to buildings. WCBS-TV CBS 2 NEW YORK ‘It's like being a kid out there:' South Carolina fire department hockey team competes for charity When they're not suppressing fires or responding to medical emergencies, the Myrtle Beach Fire Department, along with other Grand Strand first responders, can be found on the ice. "It's like being a kid out there," said Ross Porter, an engineer and paramedic for the City of Myrtle Beach. A group of about 25 make up the roster of the MBFD's hockey team. "I mean we got guys that just started playing last year," said firefighter Matt Chiarizio. "Never played ice hockey before in an organized league. They bought the equipment and now they're on the team." For the last five years, the team has gotten out on the ice to have fun and take a break while also raising money for charity. Since there isn't an ice rink in the Grand Strand, however, the team has to make the trek either up to Wilmington or down to Charleston to play or practice.
