Halfway Island Fire poses no current threat to mainland A small fire has been burning on the Chugach National Forest since Friday evening, June 10, on Halfway Island, located 150 yards (450 feet) offshore from the Gull Rock trail west of Hope, Alaska. The island is approximately 2 acres and has no structures or values at risk. The Halfway Island Fire is being managed as a "limited" fire management option as identified in the Chugach Land and Resource Management Plan and Alaska Interagency Fire Management Plan. All actions will be commensurate with the associated values at risk and fire fighter safety. Weather and fuel conditions have moderated in the past week and there is no current or expected threat to the mainland. Please do not attempt to access the island, an area closure will be issued by the Chugach National Forest. ALASKA WILDLAND FIRE INFORMATION Fires and smoke in Alaska With all the smoke in the area, you might be wondering where the smoke is coming from and how close the fires are. Fires burning in the state could be close and we might receive a small amount of smoke or the fires could be far away and produce a lot of smoke. Depending on the size of the fire and which way the wind is blowing determines how much smoke the Interior will receive and for how long. According to the Bureau of Land Management, (BLM) there are 85 active fires in the state, 60 of which are currently uncontained. There are seven staffed fires, one of which is contained and 78 unstaffed fires with 24 of those burns currently contained. In the latest update from the Fire Weather Service in the Tanana Zone, the fire at Hog Butte is burning about 39 miles southwest of Lake Minchumina. KTVF-TV NBC 11 FAIRBANKS PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

VIDEO: Fire Chief says Texas hotel a ‘total loss' after massive fire An investigation is underway to determine how a large fire spread through a Kilgore hotel Monday night. Multiple fire crews were called around 8 p.m. to the Best Western Inn of Kilgore, located on business Hwy 259 near Walmart. Kilgore Fire Chief Mark Henderson said the fire started in one of the rooms on the west end of the hotel. The hotel manager and passersby who spotted the flames were able to get everyone out of the 42-room two-story hotel unharmed. Katelynn Moore was driving by the hotel at the time. "My daughter saw smoke and then she saw flames and said, ‘Mom will you turn around.' So I pulled in, got out, and just started beating on doors." A man staying at the hotel tells us that he smelled smoke, and when he opened the door he was immediately "hit by smoke." He was able to escape without injury. KLTV ABC 7 TYLER Pennsylvania fire company turns 200; celebrates with a parade PHOTOS: The New Hope Eagle Fire Company pulled out all the stops on Saturday for its 200th anniversary by hosting a fire parade through the streets of town.

NEW HOPE-LAMBERTVILLE PATCH U.S. House Speaker Pelosi visits Maryland to help unveil new home for fireboat named after her father VIDEO: U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was in Baltimore on Monday to help unveil the new mission for a very old fireboat named after her dad. The Mayor Thomas D'Alessandro Jr. fireboat is now ready for the public to experience after an extensive renovation and an emotional unveiling. "I do believe that the firemen across the country are our country's nobility," Pelosi said. The Fire Museum of Maryland is the new home of the fireboat named after Pelosi's late father. "It's emotional for us. It's a source of great pride for us. But it is all a recognition of what our men and women in the fire of fire departments across our country do to protect us," Pelosi said. The "Tommy" was commissioned in 1956, with a young Pelosi in attendance. "And see this picture is my father coming off the boat when it was christened, and my brother Tommy is following," Pelosi said. WBAL-TV NBC 11 MARYLAND New York City Fire Department calls for help with doxing The New York City Fire Department is looking for consultants to help it prevent doxing of its 16,000 firefighters, emergency medical technicians and administrative support personnel across the five boroughs. Doxing -- or the weaponizing of an individual's personal information to punish, harass or to encourage threats – is a growing problem, potentially affecting anyone on the wrong end of a grudge, including police, poll workers and school officials. In a request for information first reported by the New York Post, FDNY says it is looking for a consultant to provide expertise and software solutions, including managed detection and response services as well as real-time threat mitigation and recovery capabilities. A vendor with experience working with large organizations would also be required to provide protective strategies addressing the misuse of personally identifiable information and assistance protecting PII. GCN Law adds MRSA to Chicago firefighters' disability benefits A measure sponsored by State Senator Sara Feigenholtz will allow Chicago firefighters to add MRSA to the list of occupational disease disability benefits if they contract the infection on duty. "In recent years, firefighters have seen increased staph infections, including MRSA," said Feigenholtz (D-Chicago). "Including MRSA on the list of covered protections for firefighters will aid in stopping the spread of the infection." The new law aligns Chicago firefighters with downstate firefighters by extending an occupational disease disability benefit to any active Chicago firefighter who has completed seven or more years of service and can't perform their duties because of a contagious staph infection including MRSA. "Firefighters risk their lives daily and serve as our first responders in many situations," Feigenholtz said. ILLINOIS STATE DEMOCRATS PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
