The fire reminds people of an almost 170,000-acre fire that ravaged the area two years prior, according to the Alaska Division of Forestry. The press release issued by the division said the Loon Lake fire near Sterling was reported at around 8 p.m. Saturday. Firefighters reached the fire at around 11 p.m. and fought the flames until 2 a.m. the following day. Firefighters on the scene reported the fire had "minimal activity" overnight Saturday into Sunday, but it became more active by Sunday afternoon. According to the release, the Division of Forestry is responding with multiple aircraft to make water and retardant drops, as additional personnel are requested to help fight the fire.

WLS-TV ABC 7 CHICAGO Police Say Indiana Firefighter Stabbed in Face While Responding to Emergency An Evansville firefighter was injured on Saturday while responding to a home for a man not breathing, according to an affidavit filed by an Evansville Police Department Officer. According to the affidavit, the incident happened Saturday afternoon at a home on Ridge Knoll Drive in Evansville, Indiana, after Evansville Dispatch received a call about a man not breathing. Members of the Evansville Fire Department were first to arrive at the home. The affidavit explains that a firefighter knocked on the door of the home but that no one answered. The firefighter said that he could hear people inside and that he heard a "very disturbing scream" from inside the home. After opening the interior door and announcing "Evansville Fire Department," the affidavit says a hand grasping a large kitchen knife reached out from inside the door, puncturing him in the face near the nose. WEVV-TV CBS/FOX EVANSVILLE Facing the flames, Firefighter Combat Challenge takes place in South Dakota VIDEO: Some firefighters from all over the US competed with Rapid City firefighters in a race. The race is called the firefighter combat challenge, and puts physical feats in the job description to the test. The Rapid City Regional Firefighter Combat Challenge Organizer, Bill Cina, says it seeks to makes sure those on the front lines battling the flames are in tip top shape. "This course started 30 years ago with Dr. Paul Davis back in Maryland. They were coming up with a way to test firefighter fitness. An agility test to set as a standard for what firefighters should be at," says Cina. Firefighting requires vigorous, intense, physical effort on a near daily basis, and the challenges during the race simulate the real deal. Not before long, the race got competitive. KOTA-TV ABC 3 RAPID CITY EMS Union in Texas calls for units stationed downtown for quicker access following mass shooting VIDEO: Austin-Travis County EMS (ATCEMS) had difficulty maneuvering around various barriers to get to victims involved in Saturday's Sixth Street shooting. The union president said their response would have been faster with a unit stationed downtown. "We have seven patients," first responder audio said." We have one CPR in progress. We need an ambulance up here. We are about to load them up in a cop car otherwise." Audio from first responders detailed the moments where Austin police sprung into action, rendering aid to the Sixth Street mass shooting victims. "At this point, we believe all patients are being transported by APD officers," the audio continued. ATCEMS said it was difficult to get to the victims because they had to maneuver around barricades that closed off Sixth Street and corralled the large chaotic crowds. KVUE-TV ABC 24 AUSTIN Retired Florida firefighter distributes free Narcan across the country A retired firefighter from Boynton Beach is doing his part to combat the opioid crisis. Luis Garcia has traveled across the country offering free first aid classes and giving away free Narcan through his nonprofit, USA Opioid Crisis Mortality Reduction." In the last four years, he's donated more than 6,000 doses -- saving 95 lives, according to Garcia. On Saturday, he partnered with Sol Oasis Yoga Studio to offer his classes and give out more of the life-saving medicine. "Narcan should be carried by anybody. Really, it's no different than a first aid kit, a fire extinguisher, a smoke detector, an epi-pen, a defibrillator, so I encourage people who are willing to be a Good Samaritan to carry Narcan," Garcia told CBS12 News. Studies show opioid overdose is one of the leading causes of death for Americans under the age of 50. WPEC-TV CBS 12 WEST PALM BEACH PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
