| Village public safety officers get opioid response training in Juneau as statewide overdose rates climb Michael Betts is a village public safety officer for the community of Hydaburg on Prince of Wales Island. Under the fluorescent lights of a classroom, he knelt in front of a life-sized dummy that he was told was overdosing on opioids. Betts checked his pulse. "Hey man," he said, giving the dummy a shake. "He's not breathing." Betts quickly unwrapped a package of naloxone nasal spray, stuck it in the dummy's nose and sprayed. "You're always going to want to call 911 once you administer that Narcan," a trainer from the fire department tells him. "When it kicks in, they're going to go into immediate withdrawals." Betts is the only first responder who lives in the community of 400 people. He said he knows a lot of opioids are trafficked into Hydaburg and then distributed to the rest of Prince of Wales Island, but he hasn't had to resuscitate a real person with naloxone yet. KTOO-FM 104.3 JUNEAU Progress continues on the Dalton Highway Complex Firefighters on the Idaho Bar Fire (#555) finished mopping up the two interior hotspots as well as 200-feet in from the fire perimeter. Crews are continuing to return of excess equipment and supplies from the fireline and the village of Rampart to the supply cache in Fairbanks. The Unmanned Aerial System (UAS), or drone, detected two hotspots over the Prospect Fire (#494), while the MM125 Fire (#441) continued to show no heat. The UAS collects images and infrared data that help firefighters determine how much surface heat remains in the burned areas of the fire areas in the complex. Firefighters will finish scouting the perimeter of the Gold Pan Fire (#565). As weather permits, aircraft will fly information-gathering missions while also assisting with removing tools and equipment from the various fires.

| Video shows fiery crash; Lamborghini goes airborne in Florida A Lamborghini burst into flames after running past a stop sign, crashing into a vehicle, and going airborne to collide with a home's roof and wall. Clarence Middleton said he was in his backyard when he saw "a big truck" flying towards him with "a bunch of debris and dirt flying right behind it." Middleton ran towards the mangled Lamborghini to help the driver. "I pulled him out and laid him on the ground," Middleton said. "They got up; they left. And then the truck caught on fire." Mohammad Iqbal was inside the other car, the one that was hit by the Lamborghini. "I was driving, I had no stop (sign) for me," he said. "My car, it flipped all the way like a circle." Iqbal told Local 10 News' Bridgette Matter that neighbors pulled him out of his car that that his injuries are minor. He said it could have been much worse. WPLG-TV ABC 10 MIAMI Maryland Firefighters Build Skills for Firefighting at Sea PHOTOS: "Every Sailor a Damage Controlman," goes the adage for seagoing personnel, referring to every Sailor's responsibility in responding to emergencies aboard the ship. Firefighters at NAS Patuxent River took that to heart when they completed shipboard firefighting training July 13-16, despite being a station on a shore-based air installation. "After hearing of the events taking place in San Diego with the USS Bonhomme Richard, Patuxent River Fire and Emergency Services wanted to ensure our personnel is at a state of readiness if an incident similar to that event ever took place on our facility," said Fire Capt. James Barnes, Naval District Washington Fire Department – NAS Patuxent River. "Our firefighters pride themselves at always staying at a high state of readiness and will do what it takes to ensure we continue to be ready for any emergency that may take place at Patuxent River, Webster Field, or to our surrounding mutual aid partners." THE SOUTHERN MARYLAND CHRONICLE Township in Michigan dedicates new firehouse VIDEO: Alpine Township firefighters have "officially" moved into their new home. While they've been operating out of the new Station One since May, the facility was dedicated on Friday. Located on Henze Drive, behind the Alpine Avenue Sam's Club, the $3 million firehouse replaces cramped quarters and gives the department room to grow. The station features many firehouse traditions, like the large kitchen table. The table is custom-made by Ridgeline Woodcraft in Alpine and features the department's new logo. "Anyone who understands fire and fire history knows that a lot happens around the dinner table," Deputy Fire Chief Jeremy Kelly said. There are also several modern amenities such as separate rooms that have replaced barrack-style sleeping areas for firefighters. WOOD-TV NBC 8 GRAND RAPIDS These Are the Five States With No Known Monkeypox Cases There are only five U.S. states where no monkeypox cases have been detected according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The viral disease has swept across the world in an unprecedented outbreak affecting people in countries outside of West and Central Africa, where it is usually confined to, with no travel links to either. Globally there had been more than 18,000 confirmed cases as of July 25, almost all of which were in countries that had not historically reported monkeypox. The U.S. has seen 3,846 cases reported so far. As of July 25 monkeypox had been detected in every U.S. state except Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, Maine and Vermont—though it's possible there are positive cases in these states that have not been detected. CDC data shows the state with the most cases is New York with 990, followed by California with 356 and Illinois with 344. A state-by-state count can be found on the CDC's website.
