Survivor of fatal Anchorage fire got out of apartment moments before it was engulfed in flames VIDEO: Two people died and five others taken to the hospital early Saturday morning near East 21st Avenue and Paxson Drive in Anchorage. Firefighters searched the burning building and found two people inside before a partial roof collapse. One of them was declared dead on scene, the other taken to a hospital where they later died, Assistant Chief Alex Boyd said. In an update late Saturday night, Boyd said four of the five people taken to the hospital earlier in the day were released. A man, sitting in his car outside the burned apartment complex, Saturday afternoon, said he was inside the building with his sister as it burned at about 4 a.m. "Shock and, really, self-preservation," Joe Enquist said, talking about how he felt as he realized the apartment complex he lived in was on fire.

VIDEO: Newly released body camera footage shows response to encampment explosion outside Seattle hospital PHOTOS: Newly released body camera videos show the emergency response to an explosion at a homeless encampment outside Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. The explosion and subsequent fire happened on the morning of July 21 after witnesses in the encampment reported finding what they believed were improvised explosive devices around a tent where drug users were smoking fentanyl. KOMO News obtained the videos this week as part of a records request for information about the Seattle police investigation of the incident. Audio of the initial explosion was captured on body cameras of officers who were on an unrelated call in downtown Seattle. When officers arrived at the entrance to the encampment at 7th and James Street, they were met by people fleeing from the fire. KOMO-TV ABC/CW 4 SEATTLE ‘Freak accident': Kansas fire chief recalls explosion that engulfed him in flames Russell fire chief Dylan Riedel now owns the motorcycle gas tank that changed his life forever when it exploded and engulfed him in flames this summer. It's "just as a constant reminder that your life can change in an instant, so don't take it for granted," he said. The explosion happened less than 30 seconds after he got out of his fire truck. A football-size hole burst in the side of the gas tank, sending flames across the street. "It's a freak accident … It just so happened I was in the right place at the wrong time and it happened to me," Riedel said. The June fire sent him to the emergency room at Russell Regional Hospital before he was airlifted to Ascension Via Christi St. Francis burn unit in Wichita. He had burns on his head, neck, arms and legs. Most were first and second-degree but doctors think one spot was a third-degree burn. Riedel was back to work without restrictions by mid-July. THE WICHITA EAGLE - METERED SITE Up in smoke: Reliving the fire that destroyed iconic Hotel Ottawa in Michigan VIDEOS/PHOTOS: Nothing man-made can be added to the Lake Michigan shoreline and outshine the natural beauty of the lakeshore, but Hotel Ottawa arguably came the closest. For its time, the luxury hotel — sandwiched between Lake Michigan and Lake Macatawa (then known as Black Lake) — was one of the state's premiere tourist draws, attracting people from all across Michigan and the Midwest. Unfortunately, the hotel met an untimely end. The beautiful building burned to the ground 100 years ago Monday. The story of Hotel Ottawa starts years before crews ever broke ground. According to local historian Valerie van Heest, the hotel was part of a plan to build a cottage and resort park. WOOD-TV NBC 8 GRAND RAPIDS PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
