| Teen dead after house fire in North Pole A teen is dead after a house fire in North Pole on Tuesday afternoon, according to a dispatch from the Alaska Division of Fire and Life Safety. At 12:55 p.m. Tuesday, North Star Volunteer Fire Department firefighters were called to a fire at a two-story home in North Pole. As some firefighters were working to put out the blaze, others went inside and found 19-year-old Jenna Inman unresponsive on the second floor. Inman was taken to a local hospital where she was declared dead, the dispatch said. An investigation revealed the fire was accidental and started around the back of the house, adjacent to a chicken coop with heating lamps. Inman's remains are being taken to the State Medical Examiner's Office in Anchorage. KTUU-TV NBC 2 ANCHORAGE Recent house fires in Juneau a reminder of heater safety as winter sets in Over the last three weeks, three Juneau homes have burned. Dan Jager is Juneau's fire marshal. He says the fires aren't connected and there isn't any evidence of crime. But there is a common thread – using heaters for the first time with the onset of cold weather. "It's been definitely busy around here as far as fires go," Jager said. He said that's typical for early winter. In late October, a duplex on Wood Duck Avenue in the Mendenhall Valley caught fire. That fire was traced to an electric space heater. In early November, separate fires destroyed two homes in the Sprucewood mobile home park, also in the Valley. One of those was attributed to a wood stove, and the other is still under investigation. In late October, a duplex on Wood Duck Avenue in the Mendenhall Valley caught fire. That fire was traced to an electric space heater. KTOO-FM 104.3 JUNEAU PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| VIDEO: Firefighters battle 3-alarm fire inside Massachusetts commercial building Firefighters battled heavy flames Wednesday afternoon in a commercial building on Broadway Street in Lowell. While flying overhead, Sky5 could see flames and smoke spreading through the building and bursting through the roof. The roof collapsed in several areas. "There was initially a mayday with a firefighter, but everybody's been accounted for and they're all right," Chief William Charron with the Lowell Fire Department said. One firefighter was evacuated from the scene for injuries. Dense smoke from the blaze filled several neighborhoods in Lowell. The owner of the building told WCVB's John Atwater that the building was vacant, so no one was inside. An auto body supply store used to operate out of the space, but the owner says that all of the chemicals they used had been removed from the building. WCVB-TV ABC 5 BOSTON Female first responder in Texas not only fights flames, but also stereotypes VIDEOS: An El Paso Firefighter who's not only fighting flames, is also fighting the stereotypes. Jacqueline Manriquez is the focus of this week's Breaking the Bias segment. "At the end of the day, when you bunker up, I don't think you can categorize yourself as a female or a male," Manriquez said. "You're just categorized as a firefighter. If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life. Manriquez lives that motto every single day. "I started with the fire department back in 2012, so it's about to hit 10 years," Manriquez. It's been 10 years of hard work, dedication, love for her El Paso community and blood sweat and tears. "I was a regular trainee at my academy, it was a traditional academy, which is a six-month academy. I was the only female back then with about 50 males," Manriquez said. KDBC-TV CBS 4 EL PASO Sheriff in Oregon threatened with arrest while arresting Forest Service burn boss New details in the arrest of a Forest Service burn boss during a prescribed burn in Grant County last month are raising the possibility that the sheriff who arrested him could in turn be subject to prosecution. On Oct. 19 a prescribed burn being executed by the U.S. Forest Service, with help from Oregon Department of Forestry and contract crews, escaped the burn area, scorching approximately 18 acres of adjacent private land in Bear Valley, about 7 miles north of Seneca. While that "slopover" fire was actively being brought under control, Grant County Sheriff Todd McKinley, responding to a 911 call from the landowners, arrived on the scene and arrested Rick Snodgrass, the federal employee in charge of the operation, on a misdemeanor charge of reckless burning. THE BLUE MOUNTAIN EAGLE Firefighter For a Day: One New Jersey Department Makes Boy's Dream Come True Engine No. 1 is roaring down Livingston Avenue, lights flashing, sirens blaring, horn honking, engines racing, pulses pounding. And in the back seat, Antonio is wearing his custom-made turnout gear, fire helmet and a big smile. After being sworn in as an honorary member of the New Brunswick Fire Department by Mayor Jim Cahill on Wednesday, Nov. 9, he and this four-man crew are simulating what it would be like to dash through the city to the scene of a call. "Are you having a good time, Antonio?" asked firefighter Francis Serge as Engine No. 1 turned onto Jersey Avenue. "Oh, yeah!" replied Antonio, with a laugh and a thumbs-up sign. Antonio spent his 10th birthday with dozens of members of the city's fire department, the mayor, City Council President Suzanne Sicora Ludwig and others in an event organized through the local chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. TAP INTO NEW BRUNSWICK Remembering Indiana's Richmond Hill explosion 10 years later VIDEO: Today, the Richmond Hill subdivision looks like a typical south Indianapolis neighborhood. But longtime Hoosiers will never forget what happened here 10 years ago. An explosion in a home rocked Richmond Hill on Nov. 10, 2012, killing Jennifer and Dion Longworth, who lived next door. There were heroes that night, including a family who heard and felt the blast. Dozens of homes were damaged in the blast. Thirty houses would eventually be torn down. As neighbors began cleaning up and rebuilding, investigators would comb through the debris in Richmond Hill looking for clues. It was not an accident. Police said the blast was intentionally carried out by the ringleader, Mark Leonard. Prosecutors said the plot centered around insurance money. Monserrate Shirley, who lived in the home that blew up, denied any wrongdoing. WTHR-TV NBC 13 INDIANAPOLIS PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
