| 2 Fairbanks soldiers die after vehicle flips outside Salcha Two soldiers died and 12 others were injured when a transport vehicle flipped on Monday outside of Salcha, according to the U.S. Army Alaska. In a press release on Monday, officials wrote that 17 soldiers were riding in an LMTV transport vehicle when a "single military vehicle accident" occurred on a dirt road heading into the Yukon Training Area. Army spokesperson John Pennell said in an interview, the military vehicle filled with soldiers flipped, adding the soldiers based at Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks were participating in training exercises. "At some point, the driver lost control of the vehicle and it flipped," Pennell said. First responders provided initial medical treatment to the victims before they were transported via ground and air to the Fairbanks Memorial Hospital. KTUU-TV NBC 2 ANCHORAGE Massive emergency alert test scheduled to hit phones On Wednesday morning, phones across the Borough and beyond will have an alarm blaring. Officials say that it will be all good and to not freak out. On Wednesday, at 10:20 a.m., every TV, radio and cellphone in the Mat-Su Borough and beyond is scheduled to blast out the distinctive, jarring electronic warning tone of an emergency alert. But it is only a test. Officially known as the Nationwide Emergency Alert Test, it is designed to test a vital way to make sure that if something really bad – and really big – happens, Americans can be warned quickly. Here's what to know about the test. The national test consists of two parts, which occur in conjunction with one another, in order to test the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and the Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA), according to FEMA.

| VIDEO: Fire at recreation rental business sends smoke plume above San Diego A large cloud of smoke billowed above Mission Bay on Monday afternoon after a building caught on fire at Campland by the Bay. The two-alarm fire began in Adventure Water Sports, a recreation rental business near the beach of the campground located at 2211 Pacific Beach Drive. By 2:25 p.m., San Diego Fire-Rescue firefighters on the ground were gaining control over the flames, which had engulfed the structure. A hook-and-ladder was also on the scene hitting the fire with a water cannon. "I saw a significant amount of smoke, I saw it going dark, black pretty quickly, it made me think this was something petroleum-based related," SDFD Chief Jared Daneen said. The building, which was empty at the time the fire sparked, stored golf carts, electric and manual pedal bikes and other rentable equipment, according to Daneen. KNSD-TV NBC 7 SAN DIEGO Mass overdose at Oregon park the most the local fire department has seen during a single call, official says VIDEO: Portland police responded to eight people who overdosed on Monday morning in the Pearl District, near the North Park Blocks. Officers said the people ingested a powder likely laced with fentanyl. The overdoses happened in the area of Northwest Couch Street and Park Avenue, among the North Park Blocks. Firefighters and paramedics responded around 10 a.m. with ambulances to transport victims. All eight people were given the opioid overdose reversal medication Narcan. Four people were taken to the hospital. The other four victims refused to be transported, according to police. According to Rick Graves, spokesman for Portland Fire & Rescue, the people who overdosed were all young — ranging from their late teens to early 20s. KGW-TV NBC 8 PORTLAND New York house 'ablaze' with Halloween spirit, sparks false fire alarm VIDEO: A call to a reported house fire in Glens Falls over the weekend turned out to be something else-- just in time for the Halloween season. Check this out-- that's the home... It looks like a massive fire in the windows. But it's actually Halloween decorations-- some lights, a fan, a fog machine and a silver sheet. The Glens Falls fire department doesn't appear bothered by the false alarm, calling it an "amazing" display. But it did spark some controversy in the Facebook comments-- one person saying they should have notified the fire department to avoid false calls. The home on Sanford Street will be lit up on Friday and Saturday nights through the end of the month. WRGB-TV CBS 6 SCHENECTADY A nationwide emergency alert will be sent to all U.S. cellphones Wednesday A nationwide test of the emergency and wireless alert systems will be conducted Wednesday at 2:20 p.m. ET, when a message will be sent to all cellphones, TVs and radios. The Federal Emergency Management Agency said in a news release in August that a message that reads, "THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed," will be sent to all phones. A Spanish version of the message will be displayed depending on the language settings of the devices. A separate message will be sent to radios and televisions, saying, "This is a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System, issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, covering the United States from 14:20 to 14:50 hours ET. This is only a test. No action is required by the public." NBC NEWS PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
