| 3 found dead on boat in Juneau, including woman who initially reported first death Three people were found dead on an anchored vessel offshore near Juneau on two separate days. The first body was discovered on the boat on Sandy Beach, the Juneau Police Department wrote in a press release. The woman who called Juneau police — notifying them on Wednesday that a man was found dead on the boat Dusky Rock — was found dead on the same boat two days later, the department wrote. The woman reported to police shortly before 2:30 p.m. Wednesday that she found her friend Curtis Anderson, 51, dead, on the Dusky Rock. The Dusty Rock was anchored offshore at Sandy Beach. JPD and Capital City Fire Rescue responded and confirmed Anderson was dead. An initial investigation revealed no signs of foul play, the department said. "Anderson's body will will be sent to the Alaska Medical Examiner's Office in Anchorage for an autopsy," police wrote. KTUU-TV NBC 2 ANCHORAGE PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| VIDEO: Large fire burns house boats at marina in Arizona Fire crews have put out a large fire that engulfed several boats at the Lake Powell marina on Friday afternoon. The blaze started at the B Dock at Wawheap Marina. Video shows heavy black smoke and flames covering some boats docked and several floating in the water. Officials say between 10 to 12 boats have burned so far. It's unclear what sparked the flames or if anyone was hurt. Robert Wilkes, the owner of Skylite Houseboat Management, said the fire began in the early afternoon and grew for about an hour and a half. Wilkes, a trained firefighter, used a garden hose and worked with park rangers, who he said arrived soon after the boats ignited, to help put out the fire. "I started pulling boats off the dock trying to create a gap so it didn't act like a tree line," he said. KTVK-TV CBS 3 & KPHO-TV CBS 5 PHOENIX (AZ FAMILY) Texas fire department trains as sumo wrestlers with Shogeki Sumo PHOTOS: Firefighters have to keep up with their training and the Atascocita Fire Department decided to try out a new training method to improve their performance: sumo. On Sunday, firefighters took to the ring with Shogeki Sumo Wrestlers to hopefully learn new techniques to apply when fighting a fire. Sports teams do the same thing to help with their performance. For example, athletes try cross-training, football linebackers try ballet for their agility, and basketball players use yoga for flexibility. "It's definitely a little outside of the box. When you think of firefighters or sumo wrestlers, you wouldn't normally consider their skill sets linked, but in fact, the forces acting upon the athlete or firefighter are very similar," said LT Keith Sagray, who organized the training event.

The county legislature approved a new law allowing a 10% property tax exemption on property owned by a member of a volunteer fire company, fire department or voluntary ambulance service, or spouse of a member, at its May session. "Members of volunteer fire departments and ambulance corps provide valuable services to the people of Niagara County," the law states. "In order to be certified and recertified, such volunteers must undertake numerous hours of training on their own time and often their own expense." State real property tax laws were amended in 2022 adding a provision allowing for the exemption to combat low volunteer first responder rates. NIAGARA GAZETTE - METERED SITE Remembering the plane fire in Ohio that claimed 23 lives 40 years ago VIDEO: On June 2, 1983, 23 passengers died in a fire onboard Air Canada Flight 797. The flight was coming from Dallas, Texas, and heading to Toronto, Canada, when the cabin crew discovered smoke in a rear lavatory. According to the aircraft accident report, the crew attempted to extinguish the hidden fire before contacting air traffic control and declaring an emergency. As smoke filled the plane, pilots made an emergency landing in Cincinnati, Ohio, at the Greater Cincinnati International Airport. The fire disabled virtually all cockpit instruments, forcing the pilots to land the plane while flying blind. The airport's fire department immediately began firefighting operations after the plane landed. Passengers and flight attendants quickly exited the forward doors while the captain and first officer exited through their cockpit sliding windows.
