Unoccupied storage building completely burned down outside northern edge of Kodiak city limits Kodiak's fire departments jointly responded to a structure fire Saturday evening, which required monitoring into Sunday morning. No injuries or fatalities were reported and the cause of the blaze is under investigation. Fire Protection Area No. 1, also known as the Bayside Volunteer Fire Department, received a report of a fire at 3266 View Crest Lane – in the vicinity of the Kodiak Island Housing Authority – on Saturday, April 13 around 7 p.m. Bayside Fire Chief Scott Ellis said after firefighters arrived on scene, he asked Kodiak's other departments for assistance or mutual aid. "What we found on arrival was a detached approximately 30 x 30 foot, two story, wood frame structure, appeared to be a utility or out building type structure. A garage or storage building, or workshop. It was well involved on our arrival," Ellis explained. KMXT-FM 100.1 KODIAK PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

Maui Fire Department outlines key areas of improvement identified in ‘after-action' report on wildfires VIDEO: The Maui Fire Department on Tuesday presented the results and recommendations from a highly-anticipated "after-action" report on last year's wildfire devastation, saying changes had already been made based on lessons learned. The after-action report was put together by the Western Fire Chiefs Association and includes a detailed timeline of Aug. 8 — the day ferocious flames raced through Lahaina. More than 100 lives were lost, thousands of properties were destroyed and the town was all but leveled. Maui fire officials stressed the report did not cover the cause and origin of the wildfires, but rather was a "thorough, well-researched presentation," identifying what went well and what improvements could be made to protect lives and property in the future. HAWAII NEWS NOW Cancer screening partnership saves New York firefighter's life; Program serves as model for other cities VIDEO: As Captain Mark Egloff approaches 30 years as a Buffalo firefighter, he's made history, receiving the first-ever line-of-duty cancer diagnosis within the department. "You know, you're scared when you hear it," he told 7 News. "Everyone hears cancer, you get scared of it. That's just the natural reaction." But thanks to a partnership between Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Buffalo Fire Department, and Buffalo Professional Firefighters Local 282, Captain Egloff's lung cancer was detected early. He had surgery and is now cancer-free and back on the job. "I was fortunate enough that we caught it early enough that it was just a little segment they took out," he explained. "They stitched me up, and I was good to go." Roswell Park operates Eddy, a mobile lung cancer screening unit, which focuses on at-risk populations. WKBW-TV ABC 7 BUFFALO VIDEO: North Carolina updating fire code following deadly 2023 SouthPark fire It was one of the darkest days in Charlotte's history when a 5-alarm fire engulfed a SouthPark apartment complex under construction, trapping two workers inside. Ruben Holmes and Demonte Sherill lost their lives; the fire almost took more. "We almost lost eight to 10 firefighters that day when they called for ‘Mayday' when they got trapped," said North Carolina State Fire Marshal Brian Taylor. "Luckily, they were able to get out due to their equipment and their training." Now, because of that destructive and deadly fire, changes are on the way. "What are we going to do?" Taylor said. "How can we make these buildings safer during construction? Because, we had the Raleigh fire and then, of course, we had the Charlotte fire." QUEEN CITY NEWS After saving his parents and nearly losing his life, former UFC fighter promotes fire safety in Ohio VIDEOS: Mark Coleman was woken up by his dog around 4 a.m. on March 12 at his parent's house in Fremont, Ohio. The former UFC fighter recalled his room being unusually warm and thought he was having a nightmare. Coleman headed to the kitchen to see what was happening and saw clouds of smoke. Still, he didn't realize what was happening. Not until he went to grab a doorknob and got third-degree burns. That's when he realized this was real. "I realized the fire was everywhere inside the house. I immediately ran toward my mom and dad's bedroom and yelled at them about five times. They didn't respond. I got a sick feeling that they were dead or something," Coleman said. Coleman got his parents out of bed and walked his mom and dad down the hallway to get to safety but he lost sight of his mom.
