| Alaska National Guard Firefighters Protect Nenana From Wildfires In May 1920, the Alaska town of Nenana, nestled on the bank of the river of the same name in Alaska's Interior, suffered great loss of life from the H1N1 influenza. According to a National Park Service article highlighting a historic part of the Nenana South Cemetery, 60 to 65 residents — nearly 10 percent of the population — succumbed to the flu in two weeks. The tragedy is memorialized today by a manicured section of the grounds, which was threatened this summer by massive wildfires consuming vast swaths of the forest. Five 176th Civil Engineer Squadron firefighters mobilized Aug. 6 following a call by the Alaska National Guard to help the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection contain the fires. Among the firefighters' immediate and crucial tasks was to fortify the cemetery against the wildfires that had consumed hundreds of thousands of acres by the time the Guardsmen started work in the area Aug. 7.

| VIDEOS: Firefighters battled blaze at Maryland apartment building PHOTOS: Prince George's County firefighters battled a three-alarm fire that broke out at an apartment building in College Park early Monday morning. The fire happened at the Wynfield Park Apartments, located at 10209 Baltimore Avenue. Officials told 7News' Maryland Bureau Chief Brad Bell that the fire started on a balcony and burned outside the building and into the attic. There were two minor injuries reported. Firefighters were able to knock out the flames and were checking apartments and clearing them. About 100 people from an estimated 37 units who were impacted by the fire are being assisted by the Red Cross of the National Capital & Greater Chesapeake Region. WJLA-TV ABC 7 WASHINGTON, D.C. 'It's not something I've ever done': Seniors trapped by mudflow in California freed with help of earthmover PHOTOS: Fourteen seniors were pulled from a Cathedral City home care facility Monday in a dramatic rescue that the city's fire chief said was unlike anything he had ever done in his 34-year career. The 14 seniors were among the 46 people who were rescued in the city after a mudflow that developed late Sunday night trapped several people in cars, homes and even a train, necessitating several rescues and leaving several people living in homes that continue to be submerged in mud. The mudflow was one of many dangerous situations caused by Hilary's path through the Coachella Valley. Hilary had been downgraded to a tropical storm by the time it arrived in the Palm Springs area, but still dropped over 3 inches of rain across the valley, flooding low-lying desert roads and damaging some homes.

Thank you for all your service," Zac Brown could be heard saying at the conclusion of the song. Since being posted to Facebook on Sunday morning, the video has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times. WFXT-TV FOX 25 BOSTON Utah first responder PSA: Young actors play role in getting kids to school safely VIDEO: As Utah students return to their classrooms, getting them to and from school safely is a priority. That means drivers paying attention through school zones and the constant need for more crossing guards. This year, the Unified Police and Unified Fire departments are getting creative to get the word out. They're employing a top secret weapon, a dynamic duo of actors who have a unique perspective on why it's so important to be smart and safe in school zones. This is the latest in a series of public service announcements put together by the UPD AND UFA. The actors may be small in stature, but the message they're trying to convey is huge, especially during this "back to school" time of year. KSTU-TV FOX 13 SALT LAKE CITY PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
