| Wasilla woman dies after boat capsizes on Talkeetna River Multiple life-saving measures were unsuccessful on a Wasilla woman after her boat capsized on the Talkeetna River on Tuesday, according to Alaska State Troopers. Keely Jo Latimer, 48, was one of four boaters on the unspecified watercraft that flipped in the river that empties into the Susitna River near Talkeetna. Troopers were notified around 3 p.m. of the capsizing and ongoing efforts to resuscitate the woman. Troopers coordinated a response with LifeMed Alaska, Talkeetna first responders, Mahay's Jet Boat Adventures, and AST's Helo-3. LifeMed performed additional life-saving efforts that were unsuccessful. The survivors were then taken to Talkeetna by Mahay's Jet Boat Adventures and first responders.

| VIDEO: Rapidly spreading fire consumes as many as 6 rowhomes in Maryland PHOTOS: A rapidly spreading fire consumed as many as six rowhomes near Patterson Park. SkyTeam 11, Baltimore's only news helicopter, reported that firefighters were called Wednesday afternoon to the 300 block of South Robinson Street. Baltimore City Fire Department said commanders on the scene found one two-story row home involved with flames eventually spreading to a total of six homes. A second alarm was called due to the nature of the fire. Most of the flames have been contained, but crews remained on scene to douse hot spots, fire officials said. Baltimore Gas and Electric crews were called to respond because utility poles were arcing, causing a hazard to firefighters. WBAL-TV NBC 11 BALTIMORE 40 years in the making: City in Kansas recognizes first female firefighter VIDEO: The Wichita Fire Department hosted a special surprise presentation on Wednesday for a former Wichita firefighter. Rebecca (Downum) Chandler became Wichita's first female firefighter in 1983. "It was a wonderful time. I didn't really know how long I could do it, but I did it as long as I could," she said, "I enjoyed doing it. I felt like, a woman had to jump in and be the first." Chandler said she was working part-time with EMS when she made the transition to a full-time firefighter. She said she has fond memories of being a firefighter, but there was a lot of tension when she joined the department. "They were caught off guard, they had no idea they didn't know really that I would be," she said, "let alone pass the agility to go into training." Wichita Fire Chief Tammy Snow joined the department five years later. She said she still appreciates that Chandler paved the way. KWCH-DT CBS 12 HUTCHINSON 9/11 first responders are still saving lives VIDEO: New York and Nashville researchers studied blood cell mutations in 9/11 first responders and determined some cells were cloning out of control and causing cardiovascular disease. Thanks to this research, an exercise fanatic discovered he had underlying and extensive heart disease. Roger Grad exercises 90 minutes a day, five days a week. "My doctor told me 'you look like you're in absolutely perfect physical shape, perfect health, and you should be dead,'" said Grad. Doctor Michael Savona, director of hematologic research at Vanderbilt University, suspected cardiovascular disease, but standard tests showed nothing. However, he had studied the blood of 9/11 responders to see how certain genetic mutations could trigger cardiovascular disease by replicating out of control. "I looked at some genetic screening and found mutations in his blood cells," said Savona. WISH-TV CW 8 INDIANAPOLIS Connecticut fire lieutenant shaves mullet grown out for 798 days for charity VIDEO: Fairfield firefighters gathered Thursday night to shave a mullet for a good cause. The mullet had been growing out for 798 days by Lt. Lee Corbo. Corbo decided to create a fundraiser and shave his hair in support of the Tommy Fund for Childhood Cancer. He is also supporting a Norwalk firefighter who has been diagnosed with cancer. "The Tommy Fund is a charity we spend a lot of money in, and a lot of time and effort to raise the money for them. We do our Santa ride for them, it's our main charity. Supporting all of us, we all know someone who's been touched by cancer and I'm just trying to do my part to help them out," said Corbo.
