| Alaska reports 1 death, 422 COVID-19 cases over the last 3 days The state reported one additional death of an Alaska resident and 422 additional COVID-19 infections over the weekend, as Alaska's case rate and hospitalizations continue to fall. On Monday, the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services reported 422 COVID-19 cases over the last three days — 236 for Friday, 128 for Saturday and 58 for Sunday. Cases get reported out to the public the day after they are reported to the state. The state health department now reports new data on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays only, excluding holidays. Of the 422 cases reported over the weekend, just six of them are among nonresidents. The state did report one additional COVID-19-related death of an Alaska resident on Monday. The person was a Ketchikan man in his 60s. Since the pandemic began in Alaska in March 2020, the state has officially recorded a total of 857 Alaska resident deaths and 30 nonresidents deaths that were related to the virus.

| Fire does major damage to historic Iowa building; award-winning grocery store engulfed in flames VIDEO/ PHOTOS: Firefighters are still monitoring the scene where a large fire broke out in Malvern on Monday evening. The question now is what the status is of a few of the other buildings in the area. Crews from roughly a dozen agencies have helped at the scene and continue to water down hot spots from the fire. Tom Mulholland, the owner of Mulholland Grocery which was damaged in the fire, said the following on Facebook Tuesday morning: "With the efforts of the Malvern Fire Department and those from over a dozen other communities doing everything possible to contain the fire last night, the water supply for the community was exhausted and it has caused a boil order for the community. I apologize for the inconvenience it will cause for hundreds of people. I have reached out to people at my warehouse and they are working on getting a water delivery to the community as soon as they can. I wish I could do more to help." KMTV CBS 3 OMAHA Alabama city invests $2 million in new fire engine and ladder truck VIDEO: Nothing shines like a new fire truck -- except maybe two new fire trucks. With record growth and tourism, the city of Gulf Shores is investing in the safety of its residents and visitors. The new Pierce engine and ladder truck are now in service. They came with a significant price tag of $2 million dollars, an investment the city felt it was time to make. "With the amount of vacationers we had in town this past summer, we don't look for that to decrease in the future so it really drives how quickly and how safely we get to scene, again, for the wellbeing of our firefighters and the wellbeing of our residents," said Gulf Shores Fire Rescue Chief of Staff Melvin Shepard. WALA-TV FOX 10 MOBILE Report says New Jersey public pensions face fiscal peril as new police and fire retirees grow New Jersey's pension system for public employees costs more than most other states while offering "generous" benefits that are increasingly going toward more retirees than active employees, according to a new report. One retirement fund, for police and firefighters, had more people collecting pension benefits in 2019 than current workers, and two others were on a similar trajectory — meaning those funds are less able to handle investments risks, the analysis by the fiscally conservative think tank Garden State Initiative found. All this is despite years of increasing payments by the state that reached a record of nearly $7 billion this year. Without making policy changes for tens of thousands of public employees, New Jersey's political leaders will likely face difficult choices on how to use taxpayer dollars to stabilize the pension funds, the group said. NORTHJERSEY.COM - METERED SITE Ohio fire chief turns to social media to share weekly safety messages Fire Chief Larry Walters spoke to City Council about a new initiative the department is currently working on to help promote safety through social media. "We're always looking for ways to get safety messages out regarding fires, hazards, that sort of thing," Walters said. "Social media has been a good way to do that. Tyler Thompson, one of our younger firemen, manages that (Facebook) site for us. He's come up with a new initiative where he's posting ‘Fire Safety Fridays,'" Walters said at Monday's council meeting (Dec. 13). "Every Friday, there will be a new fire safety message up there." CLEVELAND.COM New York county launches program to assist emergency responders A new Oneida County program will better prepare first responders for emergency situations involving people with special needs. The Assistance for Special, Cognitive, Emotional Needs and Disabilities (ASCEND) program will allow people to voluntarily register their disability or condition with the county so emergency workers will be notified of the circumstances during an emergency call. "Times of crisis can be stressful for all parties involved, and this type of situation can be unnecessarily elevated when first responders are unaware of special needs and conditions," Picente said. "The ASCEND program will help to ensure that our residents who have such needs are identified immediately and provided the additional support and resources they require. Awareness and understanding are the keys to remedying these issues in the safest manner possible." WKTV NBC/CBS/CW+2 UTICA PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
