Smokejumpers contain Walrus Islands Fire (#096) and Gannett Glacier Crew contains North Fork Talkeetna Fire (#095) VIDEOS: Yesterday afternoon as persistent sunshine continues to dry out Alaska, several new fire starts required initial attack. Jump ship 90 deployed six smokejumpers to the Walrus Islands Fire (#096). This is a group of islands located in the Bering Sea close to the northern shores of Bristol Bay at the entrance to Togiak Bay. The fire was reported near the Alaska Fish and Game camp for the Walrus Island State Game Sanctuary. Round Island is where the smokejumpers were inserted. Aerial observer aircraft BD905 sized up the fire at 40 acres with a 60% active perimeter and described the fire behavior as "creeping and running". Four structures were reported to be threatened with tanker 540 deploying two loads of water on the fire. Smokejumpers worked last night and are mopped up the fire today with no issues or injuries reported. AK FIRE INFO PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

VIDEO: Firefighters respond to raging fire near industrial park in Hawaii Honolulu firefighters are responding to a raging fire Wednesday night in the Campbell Industrial Park area. The blaze was reported around 8:15 p.m. at a structure near Kaomi Loop in Kalaeloa. Witnesses said the fire has been reaching heights of about 100 feet, and the glow from the blaze can be seen from miles away. There is no word yet on any injuries or exactly what materials are burning. Firefighters are using their ladder truck to get their hoses at an angle to douse the flames. There are two businesses registered at this address: Unitek Solvent Services and Environmental Recycling Technologies. Roads in the area have been closed as officials respond to the blaze. HAWAII NEWS NOW Seconds to Save Lives: Ohio region's first mobile stroke unit sees success A rare ambulance in Hamilton County is changing the game for the fifth leading cause of death in Ohio. In 2020, the CDC says more than 7,000 people died from strokes in the state. That same year, the region rolled out its first mobile stroke unit. "We have great stroke centers throughout the entire city, but just the logistics of transporting a patient from their home to the hospital -- that takes time when literally minutes matter. We're able to really see that reflected in the data that we're seeing in terms of the time to medication that we're seeing," said Dr. Chrisopher Richards, medical director of UC Health Mobile Stroke Unit. When every second counts, UC Health's Mobile Stroke Unit is on the move, at your doorstep in minutes, bringing the emergency department curbside and giving immediate care to stroke patients. WKRC-TV CBS 12 CINCINNATI Illinois town's highest-ranking female fire official: A preparedness expert She may not know you personally, but Evanston Division Fire Chief Kimberly Kull says she thinks about your safety every day. Kull is the highest-ranking woman in the department, reporting directly to Fire Chief Paul Polep. She's responsible for emergency management and logistics within the department and is also the Public Information Officer, also called a PIO. It's Kull's job to help those who live and work in the city prepare for a variety of emergencies, both natural and otherwise. She also must ensure the department is ready to respond. But she's been training for this job her entire life. "Being a firefighter was something I wanted to do as a little girl, and emergency medicine has been a passion for as long as I can remember," Kull told the RoundTable. "I've been called to a life of service, and I believe each of us has a responsibility to serve one another in whichever way we've been called." EVANSTON ROUND TABLE Balloon artists create life-sized firetruck, firefighter at Wisconsin station A group of 12 balloon artists from around the United States gathered in Omro to create a life-sized fire truck out of balloons. Artists began working on the project on Monday, where they made the truck and other minor details. On Wednesday, the group unveiled the finished product inside the Omro Fire Department. "It uses about 5,000 balloons. We're using round balloons, long balloons, and all types of shapes. Mainly just to create our own way of an art form," said Head Twisticologist Robbie Furman. Inside the fire station, the community was able to see the giant fire truck, a firefighter holding an American flag, and a dog next to a fire hydrant. "It's a unique opportunity to do a big build like this. A lot of us don't do as many large builds so I've got 22 employees in the area that do balloons and this is a great opportunity for them to come out and learn a little," said Jake Eggert, Owner of Mischief & Magic in Green Bay. WFRV-TV CBS 5 GREEN BAY Indiana EMS using software to help in treating homeless population When EMS personnel are called out, they generally don't know much about the patient they're going to be treating. That is especially true for the city's homeless population. EMS officials say when they respond, they need as much information as possible about a patient's medical story. "Whether they were unable to speak, unresponsive, refused to give it," Indianapolis EMS Quality Assurance Officer Milon Berry said. "For whatever reason, now that story can be completed." Berry said a new software called "ESO" changed the game for first responders. The software they used before wasn't effective at storing data. However, ESO allows IEMS to quickly get a patient's medical history by documenting and saving that information on patient's who've been treated by them before.
