PHOTOS/VIDEO: No one was hospitalized in a pair of house fires in Eagle River that sprouted up Monday morning. The first call came around 2:18 a.m. for a home on Davis Street near the corner of Tandy Place. The Anchorage Fire Department reported that the fire crew responded within six minutes and extinguished the blaze relatively quickly. They said no one died and no one was taken to the hospital for injuries. The second fire, this one just a few blocks away on Breckenridge Drive, was reported just before 5 a.m. and also involved a single-family home. Anchorage Fire Captain Michael Bobo said units from Muldoon and Mountain View responded to the blaze. On arrival, AFD crews found a two-story house on fire "on all four sides." The occupants of the house made it out uninjured. KTUU-TV NBC/CBS 5 ANCHORAGE |

 A massive multi-alarm fire destroyed a Catholic school building in Springfield Township, Delaware County. The call came in around 5 p.m. Monday for flames showing from the St. Francis of Assisi School, which is located on Saxer Avenue. Chopper 6 was overhead as plumes of heavy smoke billowed from the roof of the building. Firefighters knocked down the bulk of the fire but remained on the scene Monday night to extinguish any hotspots. The school was founded in 1929 and serves students from Pre-K to 8th grade. "At this time, the fire appears controlled to one building. All classes at the school will be cancelled for at least tomorrow. Efforts are already underway to locate an alternate learning location for those who will be affected by the loss of classroom space," said a spokesperson for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia in a statement. WPVI-TV ABC 6 PHILADELPHIA VIDEO: Three people died after a medical helicopter crashed in northern Kentucky, and a report from the Federal Aviation Administration has released information about what may have happened. The crash happened around 5:37 p.m., in Owen County, near State Route 22, about two miles north of Owen County High School. The helicopter that crashed was with Air Evac Lifeteam 133, out of Williamstown, Kentucky. Kentucky State Police identified the victims of the crash as Gale Alleman, Bethany Aicken, and James Welsh. A report from the FAA says the helicopter struck a guy wire, a tension cable that gives stability to freestanding structures. It then crashed and caught on fire. WLKY-TV CBS 32 LOUISVILLE Charlotte Fire Department officials said they have a plan to improve rescues and avoid fires like the SouthPark blaze that killed two workers trapped on an upper floor. CFD Chief Reginald Johnson on Monday presented an after-action report of the five-alarm SouthPark fire to the Charlotte City Council's Housing, Safety and Community Committee. It detailed what went wrong in May 2023 and what the department needs to do to prevent a similar incident. The SouthPark fire, which reached 2,000 degrees, occurred at a seven-story, mid-rise building with five stories of wooden construction, no fire suppression systems and no drywall, Johnson said. The building was under construction at the time. As construction across Charlotte shows no signs of slowing down, Johnson said the department is making necessary changes to prevent deadly construction fires. THE CHARLOTTE OBSERVER - METERED SITE VIDEOS: The Tropicana Las Vegas is just days away from joining the list of Las Vegas hotels that have been blown up over the years. At 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 9, the implosion button will be pressed to bring down the historic resort's two hotel towers. They're expected to collapse within a matter of seconds, according to recent information from Bally's Corporation, which owns the hotel. Much has been said about the Tropicana's storied history in the months leading up to its impending demise. But the resort will be in good company as it joins the growing list of Las Vegas landmarks that now exist only in our memories. We combed through Channel 13's archives to find videos of the moments some of those properties were turned to rubble. KTNV-TV ABC 13 LAS VEGAS |
