| Remembering 2 Alaska fallen firefighters Saturday, many paused to honor 144 fire service heroes at the 42nd National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend. Of those honorees, two are Alaskan firefighters who died in action in 2022. Both were remembered in the ceremony, as well as others who paid the ultimate sacrifice while supporting firefighting efforts. "We gather to pay our respects to 144 firefighters that died in the line of duty, 79 in 2022 and 65 in previous years," said Captain Garon Mosby with the St. Louis Fire Department. A candlelight service took place as a tribute for all firefighters who died in the line of duty and a way to honor their families. "Its important for us to do that so their memories live on in the community that they served in and lived in and in the hearts of the friends and families that were touched by their lives, no matter how long or how short they lived," said Joe Minogue, a National Fallen Firefighters Foundation lead advocate.

| VIDEO: Fire reignites at Shell Chemical Plant in Texas A fire reignited at the Shell Deer Park Chemical Plant, several hours after it was extinguished on Saturday. According to the Deer Park Office of Emergency Management, the fire has rekindled and firefighters are back putting it out. The fire was still burning on Sunday. The city of Deer Park said officials have gone over their wastewater storage capacity because they are using a large amount of water on the fire. Runoff water is also being moved toward a channel. The city expects to continue to use more water to fight the blaze. Sunday evening, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez tweeted an update saying the fire continues to burn, but is contained to a controlled zone. Gonzalez said runoff water was directed to the Houston Ship Channel as part of a controlled discharge and boom has been deployed to prevent any product from entering the channel.

An apology in the form of a gag cake has drawn millions of eyes to a St. Albans sweets shop. Jacob Hernandez is a Charleston firefighter who took his annual physical agility test in March. "I get about halfway through the test after doing the Kyser test of evolution and I can feel it coming," Hernandez recalled. The first responder admits his nerves got the better of him and he got sick on the course, but was able to finish. "There's a tradition here. After you pass your year test you buy steaks and desserts for everybody," Hernandez said. That's when he reached out to Lil' Bit of Heaven Cupcakes. Owner Teri Blevins spoke with Eyewitness News about the conversation. WCHS-TV ABC 8/FOX 11 CHARLESTON PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
