| Good progress burning slash piles in Goldstream Valley area Alaska Division of Forestry and Fire Protection (DOF) firefighters are making good progress burning piles of black spruce slash in fuel breaks in the area of Goldstream and Waterford roads. A crew of eight firefighters started last Thursday and, taking advantage of favorable weather, has worked each day since. More than 60 piles, each about 10 feet around and four feet tall, have been burned. Piles are monitored until all of the debris has burned away. Firefighters are utilizing hose lays to have water on hand and to ensure each pile is extinguished. Local residents may see smoke from the burning. Work will continue, weather permitting, into October. Wildland firefighters from Fairbanks Area Forestry station, and DOF Emergency Firefighters (EFF) are overseeing the prescribed burning. ALASKA WILDLAND FIRE INFORMATION Young passenger critically injured in Lake Otis rollover crash PHOTO: A young passenger in a rollover crash in an Abbott Loop neighborhood was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries early Wednesday morning, according to Anchorage police. Officers with the Anchorage Police Department responded shortly before 3:30 a.m. Wednesday to a crash at Lake Otis Parkway and East 63rd Avenue involving a blue Kia Forte. In a community alert, police say the Forte left the road and rolled while headed southbound on Lake Otis. Medics at the scene took the juvenile passenger to a hospital with critical injuries, while the driver of the car, an adult woman, was also taken with non-life threatening injuries. Police said the southbound lanes of Lake Otis will be closed at Dowling Road while investigators with the Major Collision Investigation Unit process the scene.

| Massachusetts home considered a ‘total loss' after fire rips through roof, causing partial collapse VIDEO: At least eight people are without a home after a large fire burned through a multi-family house in Lynn on Tuesday. Crews were called to the home on Allerton Street sometime after 5 p.m., where footage from Sky7 showed large sections of the multi-story building's roof engulfed in flames. At one point, Lynn Fire pulled their crews from the building, as both the roof and attic showed signs they were going to collapse. Concerns were heightened further by a tall chimney stack swaying as the building burned. "We were very nervous about the chimney, because the chimney looked like it was leaning to one side," said Lynn Fire Chief Michael McBride. "So we were nervous that was going to come down, so we started pulling. As soon as the roof came down, we started pulling our guys out because it was too dangerous to fight the fire inside." WHDH-TV ABC 7 BOSTON New Mexico first responders prepare to row across the Atlantic Ocean to raise mental health awareness VIDEO: A team of three Farmington first responders are getting ready to compete in an international race, but this isn't an ordinary race – it's a trip across the Atlantic Ocean on a row boat. 45 teams will row from Africa to the Caribbean in December. The goal of the first responders is not to win, but rather to raise awareness for an important Four Corners cause. First responders and founders of Guardians Initiatives, are willing to go the extra mile to promote mental wellness for first responders. "On average, most first responders die by suicide each year than by the risks of the job you know all the training we do tactics wise, yet our mental wellness can be more of a risk to us," Mark Pfetzer, SJCSO Captain and co-founder of Guardian Initiatives. To get the word out, Pfetzer came up with something that would make a big splash. KOB-TV NBC 4 ALBUQUERQUE Los Angeles County takes step to ensure crash photos are never leaked again, following Kobe Bryant incident The 2020 helicopter crash in the hills of Calabasas that took the lives of NBA Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna; Sarah and Payton Chester; Keri, John and Alyssa Altobelli; Christina Mauser, and pilot Ara Zobayan sent shock waves across the world. But the unimaginable pain and grief sustained by Bryant's widow, Vanessa Bryant, was compounded when graphic photos from the crash scene were shared by Los Angeles County deputies and firefighters with each other, some of their spouses, and in one instance with a bartender at a bar where a deputy was drinking. On Tuesday, Aug. 30, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors passed a motion with a basic question: How can the county Sheriff's Department and Fire Department prevent this kind of conduct from happening again? LOS ANGELES DAILY NEWS - METERED SITE Overdose Awareness Day: ‘4 to 6 minutes is all we have to get there' Aug. 31 is Overdose Awareness Day, and News4JAX is teaming up with local organizations hoping to save lives. The main culprit behind the surge in overdose cases we're seeing in our area is fentanyl. As Director of Pharmacy at Orange Park Hospital, Dr. Jodie Graves works to save lives every day. But one life that couldn't be saved was that of her adult stepdaughter. News4JAX is only identifying her by her first name, Angela. After a years-long battle with addiction, Angela (pictured below with Graves) overdosed and died last year. "It didn't come unexpected," Graves said. "It was a death pill. One in 10 pills out there is what you call a death pill." Graves said Angela's struggle took a toll on the entire family, including her father. Angela was a loving mother, sister and daughter. But behind the scenes, her drug abuse was tearing the family apart. WJXT-TV NEWS 4 JACKSONVILLE Polaris issues 'stop ride/sale' order on 230,000 snowmobiles due to fire issue Polaris Inc. announced that 230,000 snowmobiles need to be checked again by authorized dealers due to a fire hazard from faulty fuel tanks. The company determined that degraded fuel and extended storage increases the likelihood of an incident to occur from static discharge within the snowmobile tank. It affects snowmobiles with the model year 2021-2023 MATRYX, 2015-2022 AXYS and select model year 2013-2014 Trail Performance (Pro-Ride). A "stop ride/stop sale order" has gone into effect. Polaris said they are working with the Consumer Product Safety Commission to address the situation further. Polaris has found that fuel tank issues have lead to 30 gas tank ruptures and 16 fires, with one injury being reported so far. The Minnesota-based company said those who have any of these models should stop using them immediately. BRING ME THE NEWS PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
