| Proposed city budget includes money for Anchorage Fire Department's Mobile Crisis Team to expand its hours VIDEO: The Anchorage Fire Department's Mobile Crisis Team operates seven days a week, and Mayor Suzanne LaFrance's proposed operating budget would provide an additional $1.36 million so that the service would be available 24 hours a day, something people in the system say is needed. The crisis team pairs up an EMT or paramedic from the fire department with a licensed mental health clinician — who is also an AFD employee — to respond to calls of people experiencing a behavioral health crisis. 911 calls go through the Fire Department Dispatch Center, where dispatchers determine whether a visit from the MCT is an appropriate response. Supervising Clinician Jennifer Pierce said the team can help provide immediate help to those who are experiencing a crisis, as well as connect them to ongoing services and provide follow-up visits.

| VIDEO: Nobody hurt in Michigan house fire Around 7:20 a.m. Monday morning, a house fire was reported in Kalamazoo. By the time fire crews were able to get to the scene at Washington Avenue and Race Street, they said the fire was fully involved. Crews worked for 30 minutes to get the fire under control. Officials said they believe all occupants evacuated safely. They said no injuries were reported from the home's residents or the firefighters who responded. After firefighters had the fire under control they remained on scene for several hours to work on hot spots, prevent damage to any structures nearby and also prevent rekindling. Officials with the Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety Fire Marshal's Office are still investigating the cause of the fire. WZZM-TV ABC 13 GRAND RAPIDS Tennessee fire department recounts response to dynamite at recycling center VIDEO: The Knoxville Fire Department was one of many agencies that responded to CMC Recycling last week, working to clear more than 200 sticks of dynamite from a steel box. Now, after the event, KFD personnel are recounting what happened. "It's very rare for something like this to happen. In the time I've been on the fire department, I don't know if I've ever had a situation quite like this," KPD Assistant Chief Mark Wilbanks said. Wilbanks said they got the call Thursday about explosives being found at CMC Recycling. When crews arrived, they knew the situation was serious and started clearing the area. "Their first thought is ‘we need to start moving folks back.' That's a pretty daunting task; if you just look at the businesses that are right there around the steel recycling facility area," Wilbanks said. WVLT-TV CBS/MYNETWORKTV 8 KNOXVILLE South Carolina lawmakers push for cardiac emergency response plans in schools Restart A Heart Day will be recognized on October 16th worldwide. It's an initiative to raise awareness about the importance of bystander CPR, with hopes to increase the number of people who know CPR. "There are more than 300,000 cardiac deaths per year and we really want to make sure that we are increasing survival. We know that CPR can double or triple the chance of the survival rate, so the more people that know CPR, the better" said Maranda Williams with the American Heart Association in the Midlands. The event is something the American Heart Association of the Midlands is getting behind in hopes of increasing survival in the community in cases of sudden cardiac arrest. It's why state representative Brian Lawson says he's worked with the American Heart Association to introduce the Smart Heart Act, which he says they will pre-file in December.
