| Coast Guard aircrew medevacs 14-year-old from cabin on Afognak Island A Coast Guard aircrew medically evacuated a 14-year-old boy from a cabin on Afognak Island near Graveyard Point on Friday. A Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak aircrew aboard an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter arrived on scene and safely transported the young man and his father to awaiting Emergency Medical Services personnel in Kodiak. At about 1:53 a.m., Coast Guard Sector Anchorage watchstanders received a request for assistance after a father found his 14-year-old and 10-year-old sons both sitting unconscious in their family's off-road, enclosed cabin vehicle. The father suspected carbon monoxide poisoning due to an exhaust leak on the vehicle and a heavy smell of fumes inside the vehicle. KINY-AM 103.5 JUNEAU PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| VIDEO: Massive fire tears through California property A massive fire broke out at a sprawling multi-million dollar property Saturday night in Bakersfield. Video shared with 17 News shows a fire ripping through the massive home in southwest Bakersfield on Buena Vista Road south of McCutcheon Road. City and county firefighters were called to the home at around 11 p.m. The cause of the fire or if anyone was hurt was not immediately known. Real estate site Redfin says the home is listed as having eight bedrooms, 11,400 square feet on 19 acres. It is valued anywhere from $1.6 million and $4 million on Zillow. KGET-TV NBC/CW+ BAKERSFIELD Slow and steady: Fire museum in Florida creeps down street toward new home VIDEO: The arrival of the USS Orleck was not the only big move happening in the city on Saturday. The Jacksonville Fire Museum is setting up shop in its new (old) home along Bay Street. The museum rolled down Bay Street with the help of a large dolly, joining the Shipyards for a coming "Museum District," serving as a neighbor to the newly arrived USS Orleck and the coming Museum of Science and History. As part of the move, Bay Street will be closed from A. Philip Randolph Boulevard to Liberty Street from 6 p.m. Friday through 6 a.m. Monday. The museum originally opened on the same part of Catherine Street near the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office headquarters in the late 1970s before moving to Kids Kampus in the early '90s.

The heads of two firefighter unions delivered a request of the mayor Saturday to sit down within a week's time to discuss the city's vaccine mandate. Presidents of the Firefighters Association and FDNY-Fire Officers Association placed an "emergency" call hoping Adams would reconsider his new order and expand the mandate lift to all city employees. Currently, somewhere between 400 and 500 firefighters remain unvaccinated and are at risk of losing their jobs with the city, Firefighters Association President Andrew Ansbro estimated. Each week, anywhere from 5 to 10 firefighters receive an ultimatum to get a COVID-19 vaccine or step down, he said. WNBC-TV NBC 4 NEW YORK Remember when, Arkansas? Jonesboro firefighters took up lawn mower racing in 2004 A historic event occurred March 27, 2004, at the Equine Center north of Arkansas State University at Jonesboro. Nine helmeted racers sporting gloves and foam neck braces roared at speeds topping 40 mph around a dusty, lumpy dirt track, on riding lawn mowers. It was the inaugural race of the Arkansas chapter of the U.S. Lawn Mower Racing Association. The Democrat-Gazette's Kenneth Heard wrote, "Pamplona, Spain, has the running of the bulls. Jonesboro has the running of the Toros and the Snappers and the Murrays and the Craftsmans." These riding lawn mowers had cutting decks but no blades. Jonesboro firefighter Brett Winstead said he spent $250 to put a larger carburetor and a steering wheel clutch on the Rally mower he named Sodbuster. "Last spring, this was mowing the grass," he said, adding, "I bought a push mower for the yard. You've got to make sacrifices." ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE - METERED SITE New Jersey fire company makes history after all female crew on shift A South Jersey fire company made history Saturday after every crew member on call for a shift was a woman. According to the volunteers at Union Fire Company, a branch of the Deptford Fire Department, having several females on call at once is normal. "It's for everybody. You don't need to be a male to do this field. Everyone's welcome," said Lt. Jennifer Smith, who has volunteered with the company since she was a teenager. There are 10 women in this one company, making up about a quarter of the staff. "It made it welcoming to be here because it was our family here, and it just grew from here that we're welcoming all the members that come in," she said. Several of the women became firefighters because it's what their dads did, and they wanted to be part of the family business. As they look ahead to the next generation, they hope that narrative flips and girls join because of their moms. WPVI-TV ABC 6 PHILADELPHIA PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
