| Chevak hardware store and corporation headquarters destroyed by fire PHOTO: Chevak Company Corporation President Roy Atchak's office is on the second floor of a building in Chevak that was entirely engulfed in flames on Jan. 29. "I'm glad there was only a couple of workers in there at the time it was starting up. We were just going to work," Atchak said. He was late to work because he was having trouble with his Toyo stove at home. The local hardware store took up the bottom half of the building. It was owned and operated by the corporation. Shelves were stocked with propane, ammunition, and other highly volatile supplies. And without adequate firefighting equipment to extinguish the blaze, Chevak's public safety team decided to let the fire burn. "It's very important," said Justina Cholok, who was born and raised in Chevak and works at the corporation's grocery store just down the street. KTOO-FM 104.3 JUNEAU PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

WOIO-TV CBS 19 SHAKER HEIGHTS Recruitment Video Aims to Fill Burning Need for New Firefighters in Minnesota The St. Cloud Fire Department is looking to swell its ranks. The department released a recruitment video as it looks to fill multiple positions. Fire Chief Matt Love took over in 2021 and said the department's professionalism drew him to the job. "We all want to master our craft. But it takes a special group of people to want to work really hard every day. To train really hard. To escalate to that level of truly being best in practice. And that's what you find at the St. Cloud fire department." Firefighter Ryan Wickstrom enjoys a career that lets him be in the community. "Most firefighters do this because we don't want a nine-to-five job. And we don't want to be sitting at a desk." KNSI-FM 99.3 ST. CLOUD Related: St. Cloud Fire Department Recruitment Video Changing Pennsylvania Gaming law would help fire departments VIDEO: As the sirens fill the streets of Ashley Borough, volunteer firefighters are always ready for the call. Chief Wes Saltz has been on duty for 35 years. "A lot has changed. The number of volunteers is probably about 25% of what it used to be from when I first started. The demands on the departments are very different," said Chief Wes Saltz, Ashley Borough Fire Department. But one thing that hasn't changed: An outdated Pennsylvania Gaming law that limits the way volunteer fire departments can run fundraisers and raffles. "I've been here since the old days where you used to hold the boot out in the middle of traffic," said Deputy Chief Tony Ranieli, Pittston Township Volunteer Fire Department. Current law prohibits fire departments from accepting cashless payments like credit cards or apps like Venmo. WNEP-TV ABC 16 SCRANTON Kansas: Stolen Jackie Robinson statue found 'dismantled and burned' PHOTOS: Police in Kansas are searching for a suspect after a bronze statue of Jackie Robinson was vandalized and stolen last week. The dismantled remains of the artwork were found Tuesday morning by the Wichita Fire Department when it responded to a small trash fire. Wichita police said Monday it had located the truck that was believed to be used in the theft of the artwork, but added that detectives and officers were still searching for the people responsible. The life-size statue, which was erected in 2021 as part of the Jackie Robinson Pavilion in Wichita, is one of just four statues of the athlete in the nation. It was cut off from the ankles up and put in a pickup truck in the very early hours of Thursday morning, according to police.
