Natural gas leak on North Slope continues; ConocoPhillips Alaska evacuates employees A natural gas leak that was detected on Friday at a ConocoPhillips Alaska oilfield on the North Slope is still ongoing, which led the company to evacuate staff at the drill site on Monday. The leak was first detected Friday, a ConocoPhillips spokesperson said on Saturday. It's located at the CD1 drill site of the Colville River Unit, more commonly known as the Alpine Field, which is just eight miles north of the village of Nuiqsut. On Monday, the company evacuated all non-essential personnel from the drill site and the Alpine Central Facility "out of an abundance of caution," spokesperson Rebecca Boys said. On Tuesday, the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission said it is "closely monitoring" the situation. "Based on its investigation to date, the Commission is unaware of any threats to public safety," a statement from Commission Chair Jeremy Price reads. KTUU-TV NBC 2 ANCHORAGE PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

NASCAR Community in Mourning After Team Hauler Crashes, Catches Fire in Texas PHOTO: NASCAR teams know the next time a driver gets inside the car, it might be their last time. Traveling at such high speeds, death is, unfortunately, a part of the sport. On Tuesday, the NASCAR community was shocked with news that one of the team haulers traveling to this weekend's races in Phoenix was involved in a fatal accident in Texas, killing the driver. While the NASCAR Cup Series teams are concluding their West Coast Swing this weekend in Phoenix, the ARCA Menards Series teams are heading out west to the desert for the second race of the season. According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, the hauler of David Gilliland Racing was transporting the No. 17 ARCA team of Taylor Gray through east Texas near Longview when it contacted another car from behind and crashed around 4 AM. SPORTSCASTING North Dakota city has just 1 female firefighter; With a different approach, neighboring town has 8 The only woman employed as a firefighter in the city of Fargo needed four tries to pass the entrance exams and finally get the job offer. That was 13 years ago for Dawn Stollenwerk, who's worked her way up to battalion chief and assistant fire marshal. Fargo Fire Chief Steve Dirksen said since then, only one other woman has passed the physical agility test to be a firefighter and was offered a position, but ultimately turned it down. The lack of women firefighters among Fargo's 125 full-time staff is not for lack of effort. "We are actively recruiting … but as of right now, I'm the only one," Stollenwerk said. Across the Red River in Moorhead, there are no women on the staff of 37 active firefighters. The lone female, Kayla Cross, former battalion chief and assistant fire marshal, left the department in February after being accused of refusing a sobriety test following a crash, a misdemeanor case that's still working its way through the courts. INFORUM - METERED SITE Teen on a mission to build fire trucks out of Legos for every city in Massachusetts VIDEO: A North Andover teenager is on a mission to build Lego fire trucks for every city in Massachusetts. Cristian Sciaudone, 16, started building the sets with his dad when he was just 4-years-old. He starts by designing each truck with a computer program then spends about three hours building each one. Cristian said he makes the trucks to honor the firefighters for their service. "I was starting to build rigs from departments around me. Then I started moving south to some other departments, like Boston and then it just kinda came to me," he explained. "I'm not gonna stop here, I'm gonna keep going and try to do every department in the state. I just finished building this truck for the Weston Fire Department." Cristian has also built police cruisers, snowplows and tow trucks. One day he said he wants to go into public safety or computer design. WHDH-TV ABC 7 BOSTON Washington state fire department digs served their purpose for 91 years PHOTOS: After cigar ashes ignited a fire in Wenatchee's Central Market the evening of July 6, 1909, dry winds propelled the flames through several downtown streets. Most of the buildings were made of wood and easily caught fire. Dozens of businesses and residences burned — as did Wenatchee's first fire station, next to the jail on Columbia Street. The new metal fire bell was not damaged, but the bell tower was destroyed. A new fire station was built at 22 S. Mission St. It stood until 1929, when the fire department moved into a classy new two-story building at 136 S. Chelan Ave. It was designed by famed Wenatchee architect Ludwig Solberg in the Beaux Arts style (symmetrical with elaborate ornamentation and a Greco-Roman influence) and has beige brick walls and an asphalt roof.
