| First coal seam fire of 2021 reported near Healy It's a sure sign of wildfire season in Interior Alaska – the first coal seam fire of the year near Healy. The Fairbanks Area Forestry station responded to the report of a wildfire off Healy Creek Spur Road near the community of Healy on Thursday night that appears to be a coal seam fire. The 4-acre fire, named the French Gulch Coal Seam Fire 2021, did not pose a threat and is in the same area where numerous coal seam fires have sprung up in past years. The fire was reported by a local resident at around 8 p.m. It was located approximately 8 miles east of the Parks Highway and about one-quarter mile south of Healy Spur Road. The Tri-Valley Volunteer Fire Department responded but did not take action when it was determined it was likely a coal seam fire. Coal seam fires, which can smolder underground for years before coming to the surface, pose a threat to firefighters due to the noxious gases they emit and the potential for burned ground below them to collapse. AK FIRE INFO 15th MEU expeditionary firefighting and rescue Marines work alongside Cold Bay firefighters during real-world aircraft recovery Expeditionary firefighting and rescue Marines with the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit responded to a downed bush plane at Cold Bay Airport, Alaska, May 7, 2021. None of the aircraft passengers were injured. Marines with the 15th MEU are in Cold Bay for Exercise Northern Edge 2021, a joint training exercise of approximately 15,000 U.S. service members conducting operations in various locations in and around Alaska. On Friday afternoon, expeditionary firefighting and rescue Marines with Marine Wing Support Detachment, Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 164 (Reinforced), 15th MEU, were loading up in two Oshkosh Striker T3000 firetrucks, having just received word of a simulated vehicle fire that needed to be extinguished. Russell Ruta, Cold Bay's vice Mayor and a local aircraft rescue firefighter, was riding along for the training. At 1:00 P.M., a second call came in asking the group to change course; a small, two-man bush plane had gone down shortly after takeoff and the closest responders were Ruta and the Marines.

The cause of the fire is unknown at this time but fire officials say there was a lot of hay inside the barn. WJLA-TV ABC 7 WASHINGTON DC 115 Texas firefighters potentially exposed to asbestos at May 6th warehouse blaze VIDEO: Up to 115 Austin firefighters were potentially exposed to asbestos during a three-alarm warehouse blaze in the St. John's neighborhood of north Austin on May 6, according to Austin Fire Department spokesperson Michelle Tanzola. The property, located at 7309 N. Interstate-35 at the corner of the service road and Blackson Avenue, is owned by the City of Austin, according to Travis Central Appraisal District records. The burned warehouse sits next door to a former Home Depot property the city also owns. "We're sending approximately 115 individuals for X-rays as a precautionary measure. Should they develop some sort of medical issue later as a result that needed treatment, establishing a baseline record and paperwork now ensures less red tape later for them to get care, even though it would be covered under the presumptive law regardless," Tanzola said in an email. KXAN-TV NBC 36 AUSTIN Ohio fire district wants title to firehouse building to pursue upgrades VIDEO: The Cumberland Trail Fire District needs to make upgrades to its building and is having a difficult time doing so without ownership. "It would enable us to apply for some grants to make some modifications and upgrades to the facility without going through the city, or in the event that we need a low-interest loan," Fire Chief Tim Hall said. Hall says the district doesn't qualify for many grants and loans to make critical infrastructure improvements, as the city of St. Clairsville has the title. The fire station used to connect to the city building before moving to its current location. "When the fire district was formed in 1989, the city retained ownership of the building, and for whatever reason I can't speak of, the building always remained in the ownership of the city," Hall said. The pandemic has emphasized the need for building upgrades. All firefighters share a bunk room, and social distancing is a challenge. WTOV-TV NBC/FOX 9 STEUBENVILLE First Responders, Families Remember 1996 ValuJet Crash in Florida Everglades VIDEO: Today marks 25 years since ValuJet Flight 592 crashed in the Everglades, killing all 110 people on board. The plane took off from Miami to Atlanta on May 11, 1996. But about 10 minutes later, it plunged into the Everglades after oxygen canisters ignited a fire in the cargo. Lives were forever changed and the pain of the tragic day remains. "It's a trauma that I think we all carry," said former Miami-Dade firefighter Willi Alvarez. Alvarez vividly remembers the moment first responders halted their work. "…They were standing at attention as the families drove by paying their respects," Alvarez said while fighting back tears. "What I hope to do on this May 11, on the 25th anniversary, is once again have our people come out here and pay our respects for the families." Michael Gast and Danny Llano were divers for the Miami-Dade Police Department at the time. "It's depressing. It's depressing when you realize 110 people were on that airplane and their lives just ended," Gast told NBC 6. WTVJ-TV NBC 6 MIAMI Man charged after allegedly biting firefighter during structure fire in West Virginia A man has been charged after allegedly biting a firefighter during a structure fire in Adrian. On May 6, during a structure fire in Adrian, officers with the Buckhannon Police Department observed an individual in the rear bed of a pick-up truck "fighting with pedestrians as they were yelling for assistance," according to a criminal complaint. Prior to deputies' arrival, Tylor Arbogast, 28, of Buckhannon, jumped onto the hood of the truck, and "smashed the front windshield out and busted the driver's side window with a large rock," deputies said. Deputies then "tried to gain control of [Arbogast] and he was refusing to comply and resisted arrest," and during that time, Arbogast "unlawfully and intentionally bit a fireman" … "while assisting in [Arbogast's] apprehension," according to the complaint. While attempting to apprehend Abrogast, he "was instructed numerous times to comply and continued to kick, headbutt and bite," deputies said. WBOY-TV NBC/ABC 12 CLARKSBURG PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
