| Capital City Fire/Rescue Santa Rides an annual delight no matter the weather The annual Santa Rides took place Friday and Saturday night. Capital City Fire/Rescue (CCFR), Alaska State Firefighters Association Juneau Chapter, IAFF Local 4303, and Douglas Fire Association brought holiday cheer to Juneau as they paraded the streets together. Meg Thordarson, a long-time volunteer with CCFR, organized the Santa Ride. She said what went into the coordination. "Making sure all the lights work and we had enough lights for all the rigs, finding people to be walkers with it, Facebook advertisements out, hopping on the radio. It was great, a lot of people, fun seeing all the happy faces and people dancing to the music and it was a really fun time." Thordarson explained the valley route they took Friday and the downtown and Douglas route they took Saturday. KINY-AM 103.5 JUNEAU PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| ‘A Big Mess': 2 Escape After Boats Catch Fire at Florida Marina VIDEO: Two people were hospitalized Monday morning after swimming to shore to escape a massive fire that destroyed several boats near a marina in Hollywood. Hollywood Police said officers arrived at the scene at 700 Polk Street in the middle of North Lake just before 1:30 a.m. after reports of at least three boats in flames. "These boats were so engulfed, the only way to put the fire out was to … you know… they sunk," said Bill Muller, who watched the fire from his vessel. "Now they have a big mess, we have a lot of oil and debris in the water … it's a disaster." Officers said a man and a woman swam to shore to escape the fire. Both remained hospitalized, and the man was treated for burns at a trauma center. The cause of the fire is under investigation. WTVJ-TV NBC 6 MIAMI Tractor-trailer hits fire engine as crews respond to North Carolina crash VIDEO: A tractor-trailer hit a fire engine on Monday while crews were on the scene of a crash on Interstate 85, according to the Greensboro Fire Department. No one was inside Engine 61 when it was hit. No one was hurt, including the driver of the tractor-trailer.

WGHP-TV FOX 8 HIGH POINT New York firefighter fired for medical marijuana returns to work after settlement A Buffalo firefighter returns to work this week after he settled his wrongful termination lawsuit with the City of Buffalo and the fire department, which terminated him in 2021 for testing positive for cannabis despite being a registered medical patient. Scott Martin, an Air Force veteran who served two tours in the Middle East, was a Buffalo EMT and firefighter for over a decade, when he got suspended in December 2020 for testing positive for cannabis on a random workplace test. The collective bargaining agreement between the city and the fire department establishes the protocol for workplace drug testing, but it does not address registered medical users like Martin. Martin was deemed a certified medical patient in 2018 to help relieve chronic back pain, sleepless nights and post-traumatic stress disorder. WIVB-TV CBS 4 BUFFALO Five Most Festive San Francisco Fire Stations In the Holiday Decorating Contest PHOTOS/VIDEO: The block parties and judging contests in the SF Fire Department holiday decoration contest are scheduled for Wednesday, and these five SF Fire stations are decked out with gushers of yuletide razzle-dazzle that you won't want to miss. The last two holiday seasons have harked and heralded back to the late 1940s, as in that era, an old-time holiday decorations contest lit up San Francisco Fire Department stations all over town. The contest returned in 2020, and now the Chronicle has the latest on the 2022 SF Fire Department holiday decorations contest, as that paper notes that "The contest will be expanded in 2022, fire officials said, with stations encouraged to host block parties on Dec. 21, 2022, when the judging occurs, and prize money totaling $3,000 provided by the San Francisco Fire Credit Union going to the charity of the winning stations' choosing."
