| Simulated disaster strikes — repeatedly — as do rescue efforts during avalanche training exercise in Juneau Nadine Haken was a fatal victim, a disruptive bystander and a rescuer — in that order — all within a few hours amidst a wreckage of lumber, fuel barrels, a smashed vehicle and other items strewn in a mass of snow during a large-scale simulated urban avalanche rescue Saturday by multiple local emergency response agencies. Haken was among a group of U.S. Coast Guard employees initially designated as civilians — either victims caught in the simulated avalanche or random people in the vicinity who "went out there just to kind of create chaos and confuse people," she said near the end of the six-hour exercise. More than 50 people participated in the simulation on a vacant industrial lot in Lemon Creek across the street from Costco. JUNEAU EMPIRE - METERED SITE PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| VIDEO: One person killed after huge fire ignites Michigan warehouse, raining debris 'as far as a mile away' police say One person was killed after an enormous fire Monday night at a suburban Detroit warehouse known to stock combustible materials ignited explosions, shook homes and rained down debris as far as a mile away, officials and residents said. Emergency services were called at 8:50 p.m. Monday to a building in Clinton Township shared by a business named Goo and a distribution company named Select Distributors. On its website, Select Distributors says it supplies novelty items and phone accessories to dollar stores, and sells vape products, nitrous oxide and CBD oils. Goo calls itself a smoke shop and sells tobacco, smoking paraphernalia and other items, according to NBC affiliate WDIV of Detroit. The fire sent debris flying into the air and coming down as far as a mile away from the explosion site, the Clinton Township Police Department said.

Participants from Niantic to Chicago were present to offer some advice and hear why they started the job in the first place. "I'm just hoping to learn from other people and to make my fire ground and our fire ground, the calls that we run, hopefully a safer environment and be able to pass this along to our firefighters and chief officers," said Fire Chief of the South Wheatland Fire Protection District, Tom Williams. The four-hour event helped remind firefighters about the danger that comes with the job, and how they can better serve their community while avoiding it. "It's for their safety. These men and women coming to help them are well trained and we're teaching them to make sure that they save their life to protect their properties," said Thomas Carbboneau, Retired Chief of the Chicago Fire Protection District.
