| Follow Up: Crews reach site of sightseeing plane crash near Misty Fjords National Monument Improved weather conditions Wednesday allowed crews to access the site where a sightseeing plane crashed last week in southeast Alaska, killing six people. Clint Johnson, head of the National Transportation Safety Board's Alaska division, said he was hopeful the wreckage could be returned to Ketchikan later Wednesday. A pilot and five passengers died in the crash last Thursday. The passengers were off a cruise ship and had taken the flight to nearby Misty Fjords National Monument. The plane crashed on the side of a mountain in a rugged, steep area that is heavily forested, at 1,800 feet to 2,000 feet, Johnson has said. The site is about 12 miles northeast of Ketchikan, he has said. The bodies were recovered Saturday, but poor weather delayed retrieval of the plane. NTSB investigators have been working other aspects of the investigation. ANCHORAGE DAILY NEWS - METERED SITE PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

Now they'll also get the chance to look up – way up – at Smokey's familiar face and trademark hat Aug. 19-21 during the U.P. State Fair in Escanaba. The New Mexico-based hot air balloon made in Smokey Bear's image will ascend on a tether several times near the Michigan Department of Natural Resources' Pocket Park during the fair. "Smokey Bear is an icon in his 77th year of telling people how to prevent forest fires," said Paul Rogers, DNR fire prevention specialist. "This balloon is a pretty impressive sight." How impressive? The balloon – known as a "special shape" because of its unique contours: Holds 145,000 cubic feet of hot air; Is 97 feet tall, including the basket; Measures 72 feet across at Smokey's hat brim; and Is made of 4,670 square yards of nylon and takes 12 to 15 people for setup and inflating. WLUC-TV NBC/FOX 6 MARQUETTE Fire museum in New York now open PHOTOS: The original Bellport Fire House was built in 1893 on South Country Road. In 1937, it was moved to the rear lot facing Woodruff Street to make way for the new updated building. By 1975, when it was time to expand, the building was either to be demolished or moved. Luckily, for the history buffs, the fire department was able to have it moved to a leveled lot in the historic district of the village on Bell Street, the former site of a historical barn, which had been moved to the Bellport Brookhaven Historical Society property just across the way. The land is now leased from the village at no cost to the department through a shared service agreement. "The history of the Bellport Fire Department is part of the history of Bellport Village," said Bellport Village mayor Ray Fell, describing the site as an asset. THE LONG ISLAND ADVANCE One month later: Maps show how quickly COVID engulfed the US again More than 98% of US residents now live in an area where there is a "high" or "substantial" risk of COVID-19 community transmission, up from 19% of residents only a month ago. This sharp turn has been driven in large part by the highly infectious Delta variant and low vaccination rates in many regions. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) measures community transmission using two metrics -- the number of cases per 100,000 people and the test positivity rate, both measured over the previous seven days. The latest figures from the CDC show an alarming rise in the number of counties that are considered at high risk of community transmission. On Monday, 2,361 counties in the United States were listed in the "high" tier, a stark increase from 457 counties in the same tier at the beginning of July. CNN HEALTH PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
