| Follow Up: State investigation into Stebbins store fire begins VIDEO: The Alaska Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management is investigating a fire that set Stebbins' only store and fuel source ablaze. The state hopes to find out what started the fire that reduced the grocery store to piles of ashes and charred metal, and also contribute to ongoing local efforts to stabilize the situation. The fire started at approximately 5 a.m. in the small, rural community that around 600 Alaskans call home. Several volunteer and state organizations responded to the situation. Alaska Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management Public Information Officer Jeremy Zidek commends Stebbins residents for their fortitude and adaptability when faced with potential crisis. "People in rural communities are just more resilient by nature. They have to be to live in that environment, and so they're very resourceful," Zidek said.

| VIDEO: Fire spreads through truck stop in Texas, destroys building San Antonio firefighters responded to a massive fire at a Flying J and Denny's along Interstate 10 on the East Side on Thursday morning. SAFD Chief Charles Hood said they initially got a call about a fire in the restaurant's kitchen at 5:15 a.m. The restaurant is attached to the Flying J in the 1800 block of Foster Road, near I-10. The flames quickly spread throughout the building, Hood said, and the fire was fueled by the wind and grease in the kitchen. Customers and employees inside the building were able to make it out safely. The building, however, was destroyed and firefighters were trying to let the fire burn out and burn away the metal roof, Hood said. The flames burned near some fuel lines and also reached a fire truck, causing some damage. About 50-60 big rigs were in the parking lot at the time of the fire, and they were in the process of moving out of the lot. KSAT-TV ABC 12 SAN ANTONIO Mississippi fire station destroyed in tornado; no injuries reported PHOTO: The District One Volunteer Fire Station was hit last night and destroyed. There were no injuries but there were two fire trucks in the station. One of the trucks had heavy damage and the other only had minor damage. Lowndes County Fire Coordinator Neil Austin said that the fire department is a necessity and plans to do what needs to be done to get the station fixed. "Of course, we are going through the insurance process, but right now we have the trucks located in another safe location where we can assess them better there and we will start to look through the process of rebuilding because of our fire ratings, we have to have a fire station here so that will be our next step is to start looking at the recovery phase of this," said Austin. Austin said he is thankful that there were no injuries during the storm. WCBI-TV CBS/MYNETWORKTV/CW+ 4 COLUMBUS Minnesota firefighters surprise kids in hospice with sleds for snow emergencies VIDEO: A snowy day turned into a day of fun for some kids at a Brooklyn Center hospice home. Crescent Cove is a place where families find help near the end of life and for respite care. On Tuesday, they received a surprise visit from two Brooklyn Center firefighters with a box full of sleds. "When we saw Brandon [Gautsch] and Royce [Wetterhahn] walk up with a box of sleds, we're going - what do they have up their sleeve today?" said Katie Lindenfelser, the founder and executive director of Crescent Cove. The sleds were immediately embraced by all the kids staying at Crescent Cove. Milo, who has a complex medical condition and shortened life expectancy, was getting rides around the halls inside, while Lauren, who is also getting care at Crescent Cove, was getting pulled around in the snow outside, while her care attendants cheered her on. WCCO-TV CBS 4 MINNEAPOLIS Wisconsin woman renovates 1915 firehouse into a home VIDEO: A regular home just wasn't interesting enough for one Kenosha woman. So instead of the white picket fence or home in a cul-de-sac, she bought a firehouse built in 1915, fixed it up, and has been happily living in it ever since. Rhonda Dutton wanted to find a unique home, just like her sister Terry Evans. But we will get to that later. So when Terry told Rhonda about a firehouse for sale in Kenosha, Rhonda knew she had to check it out. "We went upstairs, and I made an offer, and before we came downstairs there was a deal," Dutton said. She bought the home for about $110,000 back in 2008. There have only been three owners of the building including Rhonda. Before she purchased it, another individual owned it and used it as storage for his motorcycles. Before him, the firehouse belonged to the fire department. WTMJ-TV NBC 4 MILWAUKEE New Jersey lawmakers want to require training to help first responders fight electric vehicle fires When a veteran correctional officer crashed his electric car in May, it took firefighters an hour and a half and 30,000 gallons of water to douse the blaze. That was too late for Daniel Sincavage, who died when he got trapped in his burning Tesla after it veered off the road and hit trees as he drove between facilities at Southern State Correctional Facility in Cumberland County. Now, several state lawmakers want to make sure firefighters and other first responders are better armed to fight fires that ignite in electric vehicles, which require specialized training and gear to extinguish because their lithium-ion batteries burn hotter and longer than gasoline engines. One bill would require firefighters and emergency medical technicians in New Jersey to be trained on the risks of electric vehicle fires and how to safely and effectively put them out.
