| Project Gabe expands reach of naloxone and opioid overdose prevention statewide Department of Health (DOH) launched Project Gabe back in June and it is now expanding to provide broader resources across the state. The namesake of the project, Gabe Johnston, had worked in the seafood processing industry in Alaska. His mother, Denise Ewing, a public health nurse in Sitka, said he had struggled with opioids for many years. In January of this year, he passed away from an overdose. DOH provides opioid misuse awareness, education, and prevention resources to Alaska industries. When the project was first launched, Public Health Nursing, in partnership with the Office of Substance Misuse and Addiction Prevention and the Healthy and Equitable Communities team, focused primarily on collaboration with the fishing industry in Southeast Alaska, Kenai, Kodiak, and Bristol Bay.

KTTV FOX 11 LOS ANGELES Housing preservation, FDNY team up for fire safety campaign that reaches thousands in New York City The New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) celebrate the progress of the City's "Keeping Homes Fire Safe" campaign reaching over 60,000 New Yorkers with life-saving fire safety information and strengthening ties between the City agencies overseeing fire and housing safety enforcement. The five-borough outreach campaign builds on existing fire safety messaging and engaged thousands of households and property owners with valuable information on fire protection and keeping buildings safe. Knowledge about fire safety saves lives. As part of the campaign, the agencies participated in dozens of neighborhood outreach events, developed a wide-reaching digital and social media campaign, and targeted educational communications materials to thousands of property owners and residents. THE CITY LIFE ORG 24 Boston police officers becoming city firefighters this year in large uptick Two dozen Boston Police officers are shedding the blue for the red this year, switching over to Boston Fire in an unusually large swing among the city's first responders. Data provided by the city shows that 24 Boston police officers have transferred to the fire department in 2022, enrolling in the academy to become firefighters. That's compared with four, zero, six and one over the previous four years. On the flip side, only one Boston firefighter became a city police lofficer this year — and that was the first time since at least before 2018 that that had happened at all. Boston Police Patrolmen's Association President Larry Calderone said the department is "losing officers to the fire department at an alarming rate because, at the end of the day, it's a great job." "Great wages. Great working conditions. No forced overtime. A great quality of life and, arguably, greater respect," Calderone said in a statement to the Boston Herald. THE DAY - METERED SITE Florida: Meet the Retired Firefighter Behind Miami's Iconic ‘Fireman Derek's Bake Shop' Derek Kaplan has had a passion for baking since the age of 15, but he never imagined that his side hustle would turn into a staple in the Wynwood dessert scene. Known by many as Fireman Derek, Kaplan opened his first bake shop in 2014. Eight years later, Fireman Derek's has customers traveling to Miami from across the country for a taste of their one-of-a-kind pies. Kaplan taught himself how to bake as a teenager by cooking everything from scratch with fresh ingredients. One of the first pies that he taught himself to make was key lime, which is still one of his favorites to eat and make to this day. WTVJ-TV NBC 6 MIAMI A video history of Las Vegas implosions During the 1990s and well into the 2000s, Las Vegas gained a worldwide reputation for imploding older hotels and casinos to make way for newer and bigger resorts. In true Las Vegas tradition, the building implosions were an event — an epic show with each one appearing to out-implode the previous. Between 1993 to 2016, 13 major properties were imploded, and others were just torn down. Below are links to watch the biggest and most dramatic implosions along and near the Las Vegas Strip. The first memorable implosion of the nineties took place on Oct. 27, 1993, when the Dunes Hotel was brought down to make way for what was billed as the most expensive hotel in the world: the Bellagio. The implosion drew national attention. It was made to look as if the pirate ships at Treasure Island fired on the old hotel to set off the blast. KLAS-TV CBS 8 NEWS LAS VEGAS PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
