| Long internet outage hamstrings 911, other vital services in Northwest Alaska It's been a week since ice severed a fiber optic cable in the Arctic Ocean, cutting communications to at least half a dozen communities in Northern Alaska. Many are still without internet or cellular service, and the company that owns the cable says it will be two months until the line is repaired. The break is disrupting normal life for many communities above the Arctic circle — including vital emergency services. The cable connected most of Northwest Alaska. Quintillion, the Alaska-based company that owns the line, says the break primarily affected Nome, Kotzebue, Point Hope, Wainwright and Utqiagvik, as well as the villages of Atqasuk and Nuiqsut. Last Wednesday, the North Slope Borough issued an emergency declaration stating that the fiber break would "severely impact" the ability to provide essential services such as search and rescue, police, fire and utilities.

| Video shows another look at Missouri warehouse days after massive fire New video from NewsChopper 9 shows what's left of a warehouse following a four-alarm fire last week. It took nearly 24 hours for Kansas City firefighters to get the fire at Pioneer Pallet under control. Three firefighters were hospitalized with injuries and nearly 200 were needed to combat it. Flames shot up more than 100-feet in the air at the peak of the fire. The cause of the fire remains under investigation by authorities. Investigators say the fire started in a shipping container in the Pioneer Pallet Company's yard. KMBC-TV ABC 9 KANSAS CITY Amputee firefighter in Massachusetts back on the job after motorcycle crash nearly killed him VIDEO/PHOTOS: Impossible means nothing to one firefighter in Lawrence, Massachusetts, who is now back to the job he loves after a serious injury nearly killed him. The amputee is officially suiting up, fulltime. "Firefighting means everything to me," said Miguel Baez, who has worked at the department for more than two decades. "I believe my accident is a blessing. I believe that I'm here for a reason." His near-death experience happened in August of 2021, when Baez got into a motorcycle accident. "I lost my leg on impact. The motorcycle split my pelvis, catapulted me into the woods. I hit a bunch of trees," he said. "I opened-up my eyes, I was being introduced in the back of a helicopter. I remember seeing the red light and seeing the propeller." According to Baez, a passerby found him and called 911. WBTS-TV NBC 10 NASHUA VIDEO: Texas Fire/EMS station destroyed by EF-3 tornado The Perryton Fire/EMS station is destroyed after an EF-3 tornado struck the town on Thursday evening, and now the department is looking for a new location. Perryton Fire Chief Paul Dutcher said two firefighters were on duty when the tornado hit. "They did manage to make it into the storm shelter into the stairwell. So they were pretty lucky," Dutcher said. "Of course, the police dispatcher was sitting in the dispatch center. She's not hurt. She was really shaken but she's, she's doing fine." Dutcher said their fire trucks and ambulances are damaged, and the units by the bay doors are in the worst condition. "The garage doors collapsed in on them, busting out the windshield, busting out the, crushing the top of the cab. And then we had the brick wall that fell and collapsed on the other fire truck and did severe damage to it." KAMR-TV NBC 4 AMARILLO New software allows 911 callers to livestream video to police and fire dispatchers in one Ohio city PHOTOS: Typically, when people call 911 in emergencies, communication with a dispatcher is limited to voice only. But those calling the Ravenna police and fire dispatch center with a cellphone now have the option of providing dispatchers with a livestream video of an incident, thanks to new software. "We wanted a different way for our communities to talk to 9-1-1, and this way we can communicate real-time information that we can share with responders.," said Assistant Chief of Police Jake Smallfield in a media release. "Besides using this new technology for Police Emergencies within the City, we are also able to utilize this for the 8 Fire/EMS Departments we dispatch for." This means that not only will people reporting emergencies in the city potentially benefit from it, but also those in areas covered by the Charlestown, Deerfield, Edinburg, Palmyra, Paris, Rootstown and Windham fire departments, which the city dispatches for in addition to the Ravenna Fire Department.
