| Fatal crash closes Seward Highway near Portage for hours The Seward Highway was shut down due to a fatal car crash Wednesday afternoon and evening, Anchorage police say. According to a community alert sent out by Anchorage police, the Seward Highway was been closed completely near mile 78, near where the construction on the Placer River bridge is taking place. The highway was closed after the crash at 2:19 p.m. Police issued an updated community alert at 10:04 p.m. that all lanes of the Seward Highway had reopened. Police wrote that the adult female driver of an SUV traveling southbound lost control and struck a pickup truck headed north, and was declared dead on scene. According to an update to the community alert, all three people who were inside the truck were transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. KTUU-TV NBC 2 ANCHORAGE Anchorage Fire Department asks residents to help keep fire hydrants clear Anchorage Water and Wastewater Utility is in charge of maintenance for more than 7,500 fire hydrants in Anchorage, but with three huge snowfalls back-to-back-to-back, the job of keeping them shoveled out has become too big. "We've got crews that when they see a hydrant in really bad shape they may stop, but they also have lots of other calls and things that they're working on," Anchorage Fire Department Assistant Fire Chief Alex Boyd said. "So there can be a lot of hydrants that don't get the dig out that they need." When crews take time to dig out a hydrant for a water source, it takes away valuable minutes when they could be fighting a fire, which is why the water utility is also asking residents to pitch in.

| Firefighters battle two fires in one day at Texas condo complex VIDEO: The smoke detectors woke up Gina Harris around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday. There was a smell of smoke in her unit. She called 911 when she couldn't get the detectors to stop. Soon, she was standing in the street watching part of her condo complex burn. Dallas Fire-Rescue said the fire at Parkway Quarter Condominiums, off the Dallas North Tollway between Keller Springs and Arapaho, was out by 5 a.m. Investigators stuck around to determine a cause and some crews stayed on the scene to put out any hot spots. Investigators ruled the fire was electrical and had started in a wall, and DFR crews had cleared out by around noon. Harris was allowed back in her condo. She found water damage, but the fire stopped at her next door neighbor's unit. Suddenly, a familiar smell and sight seeped in. WFAA-TV ABC 8 DALLAS Bobby Halton, Fire Engineering Editor in Chief, Passes Away It is with great sadness that the Fire Engineering/FDIC International and Clarion Events family announces the unexpected passing of Chief (Ret.) Bobby Halton, editor in chief of Fire Engineering and Educational Director for FDIC. Chief Halton passed away at his home in Oklahoma Monday night, December 19th, 2022. Halton served as our editor for the past 18 years. Halton led the editorial team and helped build the FDIC into the largest fire service educational conference in the world. "We are devastated by the news of Bobby's sudden passing. Bobby was a larger-than-life personality who dedicated his life to God, family, and the fire service. Bobby spent his life in service of others and his impact serving as VP of Education and Training for Clarion Fire & Rescue, was a source of great pride and personal responsibility. This is a major loss for the Clarion family and the fire service. In this difficult time, we offer our deepest condolences to Marcia, Dean, Ryan, Evan, and the entire Halton family," stated Eric Schlett, Executive Vice President, Clarion Events – Fire & Rescue. FIRE ENGINEERING Hazmat team cleans up gallons of diesel fuel from train derailment in Tennessee VIDEO: Tuesday's train derailment in Collegedale closed roads and created challenges for cleanup crews and motorists. Ten train cars and three locomotives derailed when the train crashed into a truck carrying a concrete beam. It caused a massive diesel spill at the crossing on College Drive East and Apison Pike. Two people who were injured in the crash are out of the hospital. The area looks a lot different than it did just 24 hours ago. The wreckage has been moved out of the way, new tracks have been laid and Norfolk Southern trains are running again at reduced speeds. When the Norfolk Southern train collided with a concrete beam Tuesday afternoon, it caused the locomotive and 10 boxcars to derail spilling gallons of diesel. Hamilton County Hazardous Materials Officer C.J. Davis said there was about 3700 gallons of diesel in the locomotives.

Her handler, Jerry Johnson of the Raleigh County Community Emergency Response Team, reached out to the company, Invisible Fence, to get a free mask kit for Beckley Fire Department, through a program called Project Breathe. "They will donate to any fire department a set of oxygen masks, large medium and small," said Johnson. Johnson said the masks fit dogs, cats and even some other animals. They are specially sized and designed to deliver oxygen to pets who are injured during emergencies like house fires. Beckley Fire Department Lt. Chris Graham said the masks will make a difference in the quality of care that pets receive. WVNS-TV CBS/FOX/MYNETWORKTV 59 LEWISBURG Air Force Grounds Fleet of B-2 Stealth Bombers After Malfunction Leads to Emergency Landing and Fire The Air Force has grounded its entire fleet of B-2 stealth bombers following an emergency landing and fire earlier this month, and none of the strategic aircraft will perform flyovers at this years' college bowl games. A bomber experienced an in-flight malfunction on Dec. 10, forcing it to make an emergency landing at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, where it caught fire. The fire was extinguished and there were no injuries. The standdown is significant in that there are fewer than 20 stealth bombers in the entire fleet and the aircraft provides, along with the B-52 Stratofortress, the air leg of the nation's nuclear triad. The B-2 has been regularly deployed to the Indo-Pacific and more recently to Europe as a show of force. During the standdown the entire fleet will be inspected, 509th Bomb Wing spokeswoman Air Force Master Sgt. Beth Del Vecchio said. KNBC-TV NBC 4 LOS ANGELES PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
