| 2 pilots added to Anchorage's firefighter's memorial wall VIDEO: Two Alaskan pilots who died last year in separate helicopter crashes while fighting wildfires were added to one of seven walls at the Alaska Fallen Firefighter Memorial in Downtown Anchorage on Monday. The names were added at the Alaskan Fallen Firefighters Ceremony — where firefighters from across the state gathered for the annual ceremony. The event honors Alaskans who have died while fighting fires and also honors those who died in the 9/11 terror attacks in 2001. Douglas Ritchie, 57, of Wasilla, died in June of 2022 after his helicopter crashed while assisting in firefighting efforts on the Clear Fire. Ritchie was operating a helicopter when it crashed while landing at Anderson Airport's helipad. Jared Bird, 36, of Anchorage, died when a helicopter he was operating crashed into the Salmon River in Idaho while he was helping fight the Moose Fire burning about 21 miles north of Salmon, Idaho.

| Fire department searching for person of interest in series of fires in California neighborhood VIDEO: Police are searching for a possible serial arsonist in Reseda after at least six fires were reported in the area overnight. Most of the fires took place around the Reseda Boulevard and Vanowen Street intersection. The first was reported shortly after 11 p.m. Monday, and the rest happened within the following two hours. One of the fires involved a truck that was parked in the neighborhood. Firefighters were seen extinguishing the flames that engulfed piles of foliage in the truck bed. The vehicle sustained significant damage. Nobody was hurt in any of the fires. Investigators say the same person could be responsible for other fires over the past few days. The Los Angeles Fire Department on Tuesday provided a picture of a woman who they say is a person of interest in the fires. KABC-TV ABC 7 LOS ANGELES Fire academy in Texas unveils antique helmet collection at 9/11 ceremony VIDEO: Kilgore College held a 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony at their fire academy today. They chose this day to unveil a collection of antique firefighter helmets donated to the college that are now on display at the fire academy. A lot of things come to mind with the word collection, and firefighter helmets may not be top of the list, but for former firefighter Addy Hadaway it was a no-brainer. "I've always been interested in other fire departments, how they operate. And so, I started collecting the fire helmets when I was at the Kilgore Fire Department," Hadaway said. Director of the Kilgore College Fire Academy Johnny Zackary said the antique helmets come from around the world. "So, we have helmets from Scotland, Edinburgh, from World War II, Austria, Switzerland. Just a big variety of fire helmets including one from Kilgore Rescue, which Mr. Hadaway was part of," Zackary said. KLTV ABC 7 TYLER Tiny, bug-like robot created by university engineers in Colorado has potential to aid first responders PHOTOS: A little bug-inspired robot created by a team of engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder has the potential to someday aid first responders during disasters. The robot's name is CLARI, which stands for Compliant Legged Articulated Robotic Insect. It was built in the image of a bug. It's tiny, squishable and can shape-shift to fit through different gaps. The robot can fit in the palm of a hand and weighs less than a ping-pong ball. "It has a modular design, which means it's very easy to customize and add more legs," doctoral student Heiko Kabutz said in a news release. "Eventually, we'd like to build an eight-legged, spider-style robot that could walk over a web." Mechanical Engineering Assistant Professor Kaushik Jayaram said CLARI is still in its early stages, depending on wires for its power supply and to receive basic commands. DAILY CAMERA - METERED SITE Foam 331: First Responder to the Nation's Worst Aviation Crisis PHOTOS: At 9:37 am Eastern Time on September 11, 2001, two fire captains—Michael Defina and John Durrer—from the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Fire & Rescue Department, based at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, were standing on the departures level of the main terminal. They were responding to a minor vehicle accident, but their attention quickly turned toward a low rumble, followed by smoke rising to the northwest. Already alarmed by the reports of two airliners impacting the World Trade Center towers in New York City, both sprang into action. Defina jumped into his chief's wagon, while Durrer and three others jumped into Engine 335, a conventional pumper with rescue equipment. NATIONAL AIR & SPACE MUSEUM PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
