| Sifting through the ashes after haunted garage burns down in Wrangell For more than a decade, one Wrangell couple has turned their garage into a haunted house. But that all went up in smoke the week before Halloween. October 23 was the day of Wrangell's community pumpkin patch, with fair games and pumpkin selection in a closed-off downtown street. On Ocean View Drive, at the point of the peninsula that insulates Reliance Harbor from the Zimovia Strait, Jeff and Kay Jabusch were working on their haunted garage. It's a longstanding tradition. "On Halloween, what we do is we roll up the garage door which is right here," Jeff says, gesturing to a twisted sheet of metal. "And then we decorate the inside of the garage, and make it look kind of a dungeon look. We have that paper that you can buy that you can put on the walls, and then we have all kinds of props in there." KSTK-FM 101.7 WRANGELL PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| Firefighters battle massive Pennsylvania warehouse fire, save neighborhood bar VIDEOS: Firefighters battled a multi-alarm blaze in Philadelphia's Port Richmond section on Sunday night and saved a neighborhood bar from catching fire. The call came in just before 10 p.m. for a massive fire showing from a vacant three-story warehouse located near the intersection of Melvale and Tioga streets. The Action Cam was there as the raging flames sent smoke billowing into the sky. Officials say a tire manufacturing company once operated out of the warehouse. It was no longer in use, but whatever was left inside was fueling the fire. Firefighters initially tried to get inside the building, but backed away when the flames started to intensify and shot through the roof. "There was fire showing on the top level when companies first arrived and they took a defensive posture," said Craig Murphy, Philadelphia Fire Department's first deputy fire commissioner. WPVI-TV ABC 6 PHILADELPHIA New York City Workers Reach 91% Vaccine Coverage—But Progress Stalls For NYPD, Firefighters, EMS And Sanitation New York City municipal workers have rushed to get COVID-19 vaccinations in recent days, raising the group's overall coverage to 91% through Saturday evening. But progress has stalled among key workforces such as first responders and sanitation workers, and enforcement of the mandate begins on Monday. Mayor Bill de Blasio has pledged to send home all unvaccinated employees without pay, but some workers are already calling in sick. Service interruptions, namely trash pickup, are deepening. About 1 in 5 sanitation workers — 21% — missed Friday's deadline for the shots and remained unvaccinated. This tally improved only two percentage points on Saturday. Similar stagnation applied to the city's firefighters, except a larger portion there — 27% — have not taken at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine. Large gaps also remain intact for emergency medical services (EMS) workers and the NYPD — both with 16% uninoculated. GOTHAMIST.COM How emergency responders in Wisconsin are rethinking farm rescues More than 100 local firefighters and a team of emergency technicians gathered recently at Heiman Holsteins outside Chili for a training exercise tailored to the unique challenges of farm-site rescues. Organizers described the goal of the training exercise as twofold. The first was to prepare emergency workers for situations that only occur on private farm properties. The second was to promote cooperation with farmers for a nationwide site-mapping program. Officials described the program as way to inform responders of potential hazards unique to each farm without depending on farmers' directives or going in blind. "Rescue operations on farms tend to be low frequency/high risk, meaning that they may not happen as often as car wrecks but, when they do happen, they're often very severe because of the nature of the occupational environment on farms," said Casper Bendixsen, director of the National Farm Medicine Center. THE COUNTRY TODAY - METERED SITE Antique Connecticut fire engine back home and restored to its former glory PHOTOS: The antique, horse-drawn steam engine inside the Yantic Fire Engine Co.'s headquarters bay can't match its modern counterparts when it comes to mobility or pure gallon-pumping power, but it sure does look pretty. After a three-year repair and refurbishment process, the department's 1891 Silsby Steam Engine is back home in all its nickel-plated glory, with fresh paint, newly upholstered seats and modern coils of hose. And while the guts of the engine are archaic by today's standards, its basic design is the same, Assistant Chief Paul O'Connell said this week. "Today's $1 million trucks use diesel and combustion, while the Silsby used coal and steam to extract and discharge water to put out fires," said O'Connell, the department's historian. "It's always been about putting wet stuff onto hot stuff." NORWICH BULLETIN PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
