| Anchorage firefighters honor the fallen on 9/11 anniversary via Step Mill Challenge VIDEO: Sept. 11 is a day to remember and to reflect. On the anniversary of the deadliest terror attack in our nation's history, the Anchorage Fire Department honored the first responders — and the brave men and women — who died on that day 23 years ago. On Wednesday, AFD held its annual Firefighter Step Mill Challenge at the Alaska Club West. Participants of the challenge took turns using a stair stepper to climb as many flights of stairs as possible in 11 minutes — with a goal of reaching the equivalent of 110 stories, the same number that were in the twin towers of the World Trade Center. "It's pretty amazing to be able to honor those that lost their lives on 9/11, so we do it to kind of remember them," Matthew Carlson, a firefighter and paramedic, said. "It's pretty strenuous — 110 floors on a step mill is some hard work — but that's what they did on that day, so it's good to be able to remember them and be able to step into their shoes."

KREM-TV CBS 2 SPOKANE Actor James Earl Jones's voice once boosted New York fire department recruitment VIDEO: Hudson residents may recall a familiar voice from local fire department recruitment ads—a voice that brought a cinematic touch to community service calls. James Earl Jones, known for his iconic deep voice, once lent his talents to the Hudson City Fire Department in the late 1990s, voicing ads that encouraged young people to join the department's apprenticeship program. "The Hudson City Fire Department is looking for a few good young people to join the firefighters' apprenticeship program. These will be young people who understand that giving something extra to the community is a way of getting something extra out of life," Jones said in the ad, his unmistakable voice delivering the message with gravitas. Jones's dedication to community causes, it seems, was not limited to the big screen. WSYR-TV ABC 9 SYRACUSE One town in Maine rolls out new state-of-the-art fire truck VIDEO: Saving lives, in style! The Town of Orrington recently unveiled its new, state-of-the-art fire truck. Nearly three years after the town placed the order, the truck pulled up to the firehouse that was built specifically to house bigger apparatus like this. Fire Chief Scott Stewart says the whole rig is custom-built, down to the eye-catching black paint job. "Yeah, we... I... really wanted to do something different from our traditional color. We kind of went back and forth with a few different things," Stewart said. "And actually this change came at the last hour. The truck was ordered red and we changed it shortly after placing the order just because we wanted to do something a little different," Stewart said. "It was kind of a secret. Most people here didn't know until it started getting built and the pictures started showing up from the manufacturer." WABI-TV CBS/CW+ 5 BANGOR 23 years after 9/11, World Trade Center Health Program expands to more Flight 93 first responders VIDEO: On the day America marked 23 years since the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, more people who helped in the aftermath became eligible to enroll in the World Trade Center Health Program. The program expanded enrollment to include additional first responders who helped at the Flight 93 site and the Pentagon. A retired law enforcement member and author who volunteered to respond to the scene of the crash in Shanksville shared what this expansion means to her and other heroes as she battles her own health issues, post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. Bells rang 40 times on Wednesday to honor the victims who died when United Flight 93 plummeted into a Somerset County field on Sept. 11, 2001, after passengers and crew members voted to fight back against a group of hijackers.
