| Kodiak rocket crashes at spaceport after launch A rocket launched from Kodiak's spaceport Tuesday afternoon crashed shortly after ignition, with damage at the spaceport confirmed by the rocket's creator. ABL Space Systems confirmed that its RS-1 rocket experienced an anomaly during liftoff from the Kodiak Pacific Spaceport. All nine of the rocket's engines shut down prematurely and it did not reach orbit. The rocket then "impacted the pad and was destroyed," the company said on Twitter. A black plume of smoke was visible from the city of Kodiak, rising from the area near the spaceport complex on Narrow Cape around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, shortly after the rocket's planned takeoff time of 2:27 p.m. ..As of 9 p.m. Tuesday, the company said via Twitter that "fires have subsided" at the complex.

| VIDEO: Residents of Northern Illinois city voice concerns after massive blaze spews apparent chemicals in air There will be an update Thursday afternoon after a massive fire erupted at the Carus Chemical plant in La Salle Wednesday morning. Some neighbors have concerns. The residential neighborhood around the plant appears to have been covered with chemicals. A shelter-in-place was ordered for several hours as a precaution, but has since been lifted. La Salle is about 94 miles southwest of Chicago. Residents are free to go about their normal business Thursday morning, heading to work, school or just going about their regular routine, as officials work to find out what happened. Video of a fire ball during the incident has been widely shared on social media. "I pull up to the stop sign, and hear a loud explosion," witness Khaleef Hammad said. WLS-TV ABC 7 CHICAGO Related: Extra-alarm fire guts chemical plant in LaSalle Truck 5 arrives: Arkansas fire department shows off new equipment VIDEO: The Hot Springs Fire Department made a trip to City Hall Tuesday to show the city board of directors one of its newest purchases. The board approved the $2.2 million purchase of a 107-foot tiller aerial ladder by Pierce Manufacturing Inc. and accompanying equipment in May 2021. The cost was included in the $2.95 million the board authorized the city to borrow for 2021 capital expenses. U.S. Bancorp Government Leasing and Financing is carrying the five-year note at an interest rate of 1.13%. The state Constitution allows local governments to finance capital expenses for up to five years. The city also bought a new swift-water rescue boat with excess funds as the purchase was $100,000 less than expected. "We appreciate the board buying the truck for us," Fire Chief Ed Davis said. THE SENTINEL-RECORD ‘Nothing Short of a Miracle': Texas Firefighter Returns After 500-Day Battle With COVID-19 VIDEO: EMT firefighter Joseph Solecki is back on the front lines with the Irving Fire Department after the battle of his life. For 500 days, Solecki had COVID-19 and it was a battle that nearly cost him everything. "Just amazing, it's actually nothing short of a miracle," said Capt. Jeff Judd, with the IFD. Judd said he and several other firefighters caught COVID-19 shortly after treating a patient with the virus in July 2021. Several became very ill, but no one was hit as fast and as hard as Solecki. "It was very shocking to see how quickly he deteriorated. Being a healthy guy as he was to being in the hospital in a coma," said IFD driver Richard Estes, who is also the secretary of the local union. Solecki's firefighter "brothers" in Irving, Bryan-College Station, Houston and Brazos County rallied around his family. KXAS-TV NBC 5 FORT WORTH ‘It was a calling': Senior chaplain building chaplaincy program for North Carolina fire department VIDEO: Fires, crashes, and other emergencies — firefighters see it all. The Raleigh Fire Department is building a program to provide comfort for both firefighters and fire and accident victims. The goal is to instill hope. For 25 years, the Rev. Jeffrey Neal responded to emergency calls as a firefighter with the Raleigh Fire Department. A few years ago, he hit a turning point. "I got sick, which led to I guess what you might say a mental breakdown, if you will," said Neal. "And once I got out of that situation, I realized that a lot of other people, my coworkers, my brothers and sisters in the fire service, were going through things as well." He worked with the Raleigh Fire Department to establish a chaplaincy program. WNCN-TV CBS 17 GOLDSBORO Florida doctor, a pioneer of emergency medical services in 1960s, dies at age 98 If you ever need to call 911, you will take for granted that the first responders who arrive will have sufficient training and skills to cope with virtually any medical emergency That wasn't the case in much of the country well into the 1960s, when Dr. Eugene Nagel helped develop the modern emergency medical system. Nagel fostered key elements in the training, staffing and equipping of emergency crews while working in Miami, earning him a place on what his son calls "the Mount Rushmore of emergency medicine." Nagel died Tuesday at age 98 in Winter Haven, where he had lived since 1980. The anesthesiologist spent the final years of his career working at Winter Haven Hospital. Nagel is listed among 11 "EMS Innovators" on the website of the National EMS Museum, along with Dr. Peter Safar, credited with developing cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and Dr. William Kouwenhoven, who developed the closed chest defibrillator.
