| SouthEast Alaska Regional Health Consortium hosts a Stop the Bleed class in Haines School administrators, firefighters and nurses gathered last month for a Stop-the-Bleed class in Haines. Participants practiced lifesaving wound care skills, and discussed how the separate agencies would cooperate in case of a mass casualty incident in rural Alaska. First responders had to apply a tourniquet to a bleeding mannequin in under 30 seconds to earn a Stop-the-Bleed certification. Steven Karnazes is the Disaster Preparedness Manager for the SouthEast Alaska Regional Health Consortium (SEARHC). He lives in Hoonah, but visited Haines in February to teach the ‘Stop the Bleed' class. "The report just came out from the Boston bombing that showed that 90% of the patients that were brought in had some type of first aid or tourniquet applied," Karnazes said.

| VIDEO: Missouri fire station, entire fleet of trucks lost in massive fire PHOTOS: Early Tuesday morning about 5:30 a.m., fire was reported at the fire station in town. "The firehouse has burned. It is a total loss," Shannon County First Responders state in a release of information. "Devastating way to begin a day, Eminence Area Volunteer Fire Department lost their entire station and equipment this morning," states Missouri State Fire Marshal Tim Bean. He is also Ret. Chief West Plains Fire Dept. "They will need us to pull together for them in the weeks to come." Fire companies from Winona, Ellington, Summersville, Thayer and Timber assisted Eminence Area Volunteer Fire Department fight the fire. Shannon County First Responders thank all area departments for their help, also "Howell - Oregon handled utilities, and Mercy EMS and Eminence and Birch Tree First Responders stood by in case of injuries." KOAM-TV CBS 7 PITTSBURG New tool helps Arizona firefighters extinguish electric car fires in a fraction of the time VIDEO: There's a new tool in the Tempe Fire Department's arsenal that they hope will make the challenge of fighting electric vehicle fires a thing of the past. "It's very easy to use and it has way less kick back than any of our firehoses," said Tempe Fire Department Assistant Fire Chief Chris Snow. It's called the Coldcut Cobra, and like the reptile it references, it helps firefighters strike at the heart of a fire. "The biggest problem that we have when we fight these EV fires is getting penetration into the battery pack that's underneath. Generally, it's underneath the floorboards of the vehicles," said Snow. The souped-up power washer has two modes: the first mode uses water to cut a tiny hole in objects; the next douses whatever is on the other side of the hole, like a burning car battery, with water. KTVK-TV CBS 3 & KPHO-TV CBS 5 PHOENIX (AZ FAMILY) Virginia fire museum debuts video tour A museum documenting the history of the Harrisonburg Fire Department is now equipped with a video tour led by the agency's long standing leader. On July 4th, 1944, an ice delivery truck had a short in its wiring, causing a vehicle fire. Another day, an oil stove blew up, causing over $1,500 in damage. Cigarettes caused accidental fires on Warsaw Avenue and many other locations throughout the year. These vignettes are recorded in a logbook from the 40s, one of the historical artifacts on display on the third floor of the public safety building in Harrisonburg. It sits alongside giant fire hose reels, rescue nets, and hazmat suits collected from the last 170-some years of firefighting in the city. And now, whenever you visit the museum, retired Fire Chief Larry Shifflett can be your guide – through a series of videos linked to QR codes at each exhibit. WMRA-FM 90.7 HARRISONBURG Related YouTube Video: Harrisonburg Fire Department Museum Tour Northwest Ohio man wins title of World's Strongest Firefighter VIDEO: Nobody wants to get the axe, but in this case it's a good thing. A Toledo firefighter can now add world champion to his resume. Marcus Waugh is the World's Strongest Firefighter. He took home that title at the Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus this past weekend. "I've always been very passionate about lifting weights. I love the feeling of lifting something really heavy and putting on a show for the crowd. I like being a showman as well as a strong man. I sat there for a second and looked at the crowd and everything boiled up. I lost my composure a bit on stage. It's still sinking in. I haven't fully realized what happened. I trained for over a year for the competition," Marcus Waugh said. And yes, the competition's namesake, Arnold Schwarzenegger, congratulated Marcus Waugh personally.
