| Alaska COVID-19 hospitalizations rise again as three more virus-related deaths are reported Alaska reported yet another record for hospitalizations in people with COVID-19 through the weekend and one virus-related death as a weekslong surge linked to the highly infectious delta variant continued. Fairbanks Memorial Hospital also reported two new deaths in people with the virus on Monday. Fairbanks and North Pole are seeing high numbers of COVID-19 cases, including 175 cases reported on Friday alone. The state reported the death of an Anchorage man 80 or older. Since March 2020, 445 Alaskans and 14 out-of-state residents have died with COVID-19, a total that doesn't yet include the two Fairbanks deaths. A combination of staff shortages, heavy overall admissions levels and a crush of COVID-19 patients is pushing the state's hospitals to the brink of what the system can handle and still provide care, medical providers and health officials say.

| Las Vegas recycling center fire started in ‘hot load,' spread to warehouse VIDEOS: Smoke continues to pour from the yard of the Republic Services Recycling Center in North Las Vegas as firefighters work to put out a blaze that sent black smoke billowing over the northeast valley Monday morning. The large 2-alarm fire at the recycling center just north of Cheyenne Avenue at Commerce Street is still burning. About 60 firefighters have remained on the scene. According to North Las Vegas Police Department firefighter Nino Galloway, the fire started from a "hot load" left at the recycling center. "Hot load" refers to the contents of a garbage truck. "Sometimes things catch fire," Galloway said. "It could be anything. You could have … in recycling you might have some batteries in there that spark. You could have somebody that put a cigarette in there," he said. KLAS-TV CBS 8 NEWS LAS VEGAS Wisconsin teen saves 4 sisters from house fire then dog saves him VIDEO: A 13-year-old Wisconsin boy is being credited with saving his four younger sisters from a house fire while their parents were at the grocery store. He tried to put the fire out himself but couldn't, his dog eventually leading him away. Days after a fire tore through her home with her five kids inside, Kelly Omar searched through the rubble for anything she could salvage. She and her husband ran out last Monday to grab dinner for the family. The parents had been gone about 10 minutes when their kids, ranging in age from 6 months to 13 years, smelled smoke on the first floor. "My sister said it was really smoky and we looked behind us, and the playpen was on fire," said Briar Omar, 13. The oldest of the kids, Briar acted quickly. "My sisters, that was the first thing I thought of, and I just knew I needed to get them out of the house," he said. VALLEY NEWS LIVE Minnesota fire department proposes embedded social workers The St. Paul Fire Department has proposed a new $600,000 program in the 2022 city budget to embed social workers with firefighters, police officers and other city workers, hoping to improve responses for mental health and people experiencing homelessness. Fire Chief Butch Inks presented the initial plan to the city council last week, but he promised to release full details in the next 30 to 45 days. Giving the example of a deputy fire chief helping residents at an encampment during a snowstorm last December, Inks said the new rapid response team of social workers could have a "24/7 capability" after regular business hours to supplement the work of emergency services. KARE-TV NBC 11 MINNEAPOLIS Firefighting has a diversity issue — and these women want to solve that There are so few women in Daly City's Fire Department that the women's bathroom was converted into a private restroom for male captains. In Alameda County, department-wide communications frequently refer to all firefighters as "he" or "him," despite the longtime presence of women like Fire Captain Kimberly Larson. "It's not that women don't want to be firefighters, and aren't capable of being firefighters," said Larson. "It's just that we're never told, never exposed to it; it's never seen as an option." Larson has set out to change that. She's inspired by specialized camps for women, such as First Alarm Girls Fire Camp, a Bay Area-based training camp designed to introduce young women to non-traditional careers like firefighting. In 2018, Larson founded NorCal Women in the Fire Service, an organization that puts on the annual camps for high schoolers across the Bay Area, including on San Francisco's Treasure Island.
