| BLM Alaska Fire Service Midnight Sun Hotshots head to Canada to help with wildfires PHOTOS: With the low fire activity across the state and additional Alaska crews becoming available every day, the BLM Alaska Fire Service Midnight Sun Interagency Hotshot Crew has gone to Canada in support of the effort on wildfires. The crew is part of an international effort to help Canada as it grapples with an unprecedented fire season in several providences. As of Tuesday, there were a total of 370 U.S. firefighting personnel assigned to Canada, including 17 crews and 30 firefighting individuals filling other roles, according to the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC). This doesn't include the Midnight Sun Hotshots, who are among five additional American crews and Great Basin smokejumpers making their way to Canada this week to replace five other crews coming home. The crew crossed the border into Canada Wednesday morning. ALASKA WILDLAND FIRE INFORMATION PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| Industrial building fire in Washington destroys 7 businesses VIDEO/PHOTOS: A fire tore through a large industrial building in the Salmon Creek area north of Vancouver late Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning and destroyed at least seven businesses, according to a news release from Clark County Fire District 6. There were no reported injuries. Dispatch records show crews were initially called to a commercial fire at 14615 NE 13th Court at around 10:45 p.m. Tuesday. Employees inside the building at that address reported smoke coming from an upstairs window and heard fire alarms going off, according to the news release. They called 911 when smoke began filling the building a short time later. Fire crews arrived to find the structure fully engulfed in flames, and took a defensive approach to keep the fire from spreading to nearby buildings. Firefighters described the fire as violent and fast-moving. KGW-TV NBC 8 PORTLAND Related: Drone footage of fire damage in Salmon Creek Arsonist who targeted Texas Governor's mansion still at large 15 years later PHOTOS: A shadowy figure pitched a Molotov cocktail onto the veranda of the Texas Governor's Mansion 15 years ago, then vanished into the night-cloaked oaks. We might never know who torched and nearly destroyed the Texas landmark, now 167 years old, on June 8, 2008. Although there was surveillance video, the Texas Department of Public Safety has yet to charge anyone, and the statute of limitations for the crime expired in 2019. DPS, which is responsible for securing the governor, the mansion and the state Capitol, did not respond to a request for comment. Gregg Cox, former Travis County assistant district attorney, told KVUE in 2019 there is still a small chance that someone could be prosecuted. That's because the arsonist could be charged with the crime only if they lived outside of Texas during the first 10 years since the fire, Cox said. SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS-NEWS - METERED SITE Wisconsin county's cardiac arrest save percentage double the national average VIDEO: Dane County EMS is reporting double the national average success rate when returning a person who suffered cardiac arrest to quality of life. "We respond to just over 400 sudden cardiac arrests in a given year. In Dane County, for every patient that we respond to, we have about a 15% success rate in returning that person to a quality of life. Nationally, that's at right around 7% for the quality of life," said EMS data analyst Eric Anderson. Anderson says when a bystander responds with CPR, the survival rate jumps to 65%. SSM Health EMS regional medical director, Dr. Kacey Kronenfeld, says a huge part of the success is bystander CPR, getting crucial compressions started immediately while EMS is on the way. The only way this is possible is by training 911 call-takers on how to best convey CPR instructions over the phone. WMTV NBC/CW 15 MADISON FDNY says ‘no firehouses used to house migrants,' despite fake memo An FDNY spokesperson said Wednesday that no firehouses will be used to help address the city's ongoing migrant crisis despite a fake memo circulating online. Social media users flooded websites with the fake memo, purportedly from Chief of Operations John Esposito, Tuesday night saying that firehouses would shelter migrants in their living quarters under orders from the office of Mayor Eric Adams, but FDNY spokeswoman Amanda Farinacci confirmed Wednesday that it was a fake. "Tuesday night, a letter appearing to be an official FDNY internal document was circulated, purporting that firehouses will be used to house migrants. This is categorically false," she said. "The document is a fake, and there will be no firehouses used to house migrants." SILIVE.COM Metro Atlanta firefighters learn how to respond to a freight train catastrophe VIDEO/PHOTOS: Firefighters got real-world training they hope never to have to use in one of Norfolk Southern's railyards in East Point Tuesday afternoon. The training comes a little more than four months after a devastating derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, which displaced about 5,000 residents. "We can do better," said Alan Shaw, CEO of Norfolk Southern, promising changes. "This is an effort to make [communities] safer." Metro Atlanta is a major freight rail hub - and also where the company is headquartered. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp joined firefighters and state transportation and emergency management officials on a specially designed train that gives first responders an up-close look at how rail transport works and how they can prepare for worst-case scenarios.
