| Person found dead after fire in Wainwright A person was found dead after a fire in Wainwright on Monday, according to an Alaska State Troopers dispatch. At 9:35 a.m., the Alaska State Fire Marshal's Office was told about a residential structure fire in the community. One adult who lived there was missing and presumed to be inside at the time of the fire, the dispatch said. Two deputy fire marshals went to Wainwright to investigate and, while searching the fire debris, found human remains believed to be of the missing person. The remains were sent to the State Medical Examiner's Office for identification, but officials said no foul play is suspected. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

| VIDEO: 2 firefighters hurt battling Pepsi warehouse blaze in New Jersey Two firefighters are hurt after a massive fire at a Pepsi warehouse in Piscataway, New Jersey. At one point, the blaze was so big, several people in the neighborhood said they heard loud explosions. As CBS2's Elijah Westbrook reported, firefighters worked throughout the night to put out hotspots. One was treated at the hospital for heat exhaustion, and the other for a shoulder injury. However, all 30 employees who worked at the regional plant managed to escape without injury. Chopper 2 was overhead as more than 100 firefighters worked to put out the flames. Piscataway Mayor Brian Wahler said he raced to the plant after hearing explosions not far from his home. "I live approximately five minutes away, I heard the explosions," he told CBS2. WCBS-TV CBS 2 NEW YORK Related: Massive fire breaks out at PepsiCo factory in New Jersey VIDEOS: Multiple fire departments were on the scene of a very large fire at the PepsiCo factory in Piscataway on Tuesday evening. The fire broke out just after 6 p.m. outside the factory on New Brunswick Avenue. The fire sent large plumes of black smoke into the sky, which could be seen for miles. Bright orange flames were also seen on the roof of the building. One witness described the scene as a "tornado of fire." Others reported hearing loud explosions from miles away. Officials say that all PepsiCo employees were safely evacuated. The plant manager says that the staff trains for emergencies like this on a regular basis. No employees were hurt. More than 100 firefighters from Piscataway and surrounding towns came to battle the fire. One volunteer firefighter was taken to the hospital to be treated for heat exhaustion. Another suffered a shoulder injury. Both are expected to be OK. NEWS 12 WESTCHESTER Robot dogs to join New York Fire Department's ‘lifesaving' mission PHOTOS: See Spot run. See Spot fight fires? The New York Fire Department announced that they will begin using robot dogs made by engineering company Boston Dynamics in the department's search-and-rescue missions. Each $75,000 robot dog, known as Spot, will be controlled by a human operator and will be able to collect images and data. The mechanical K-9 unit will also be used to measure the concentration of dangerous gases, gauge structural integrity and descend deep underground after a fire or building collapse. The FDNY has recruited two robot dogs that will be on the scene in the coming weeks, becoming the first fire department in the country to utilize the mechanical helpers. "We have a lot of work ahead of us to get acclimated to the robot dogs," a fire department spokesperson told The Post. The FDNY began employing the use of ground robotics nearly 10 years ago, and created a separate robotics unit in 2020. THE NEW YORK POST No, it's not a tornado: Here's why one Illinois town sometimes hears a siren blaring When the siren goes off, Fire Chief Terry Schadt says that's a sign that help's on the way. But those not in the know, or who aren't longtime residents of West Peoria, might instead think a tornado's on the way. To the untrained ear, the siren West Peoria's Fire Department uses to call its volunteer force to the firehouse on Waverly Avenue sounds a lot like the shrill tone that tells people to take cover. So why does West Peoria use the siren? To Schadt, using the siren is a longstanding practice, one he's not inclined to change. Volunteer fire departments used to all have sirens to notify personnel to rush to the station, Schadt said. West Peoria's went into service in 1940. But he says it's more than just a tradition, it also serves a practical purpose. The department has adapted to a more modern era by also sending text messages and pages to volunteers. But the siren is harder to miss. JOURNAL STAR - METERED SITE Georgia firefighters move back into station after mold sickened staff Milton firefighters returned Monday to an upgraded Fire Station 41, having spent months being hosted by their Roswell colleagues while needed mold remediation work was completed. Station 41, at the intersection of New Providence Road and Arnold Mill Road/State Route 140, closed last November after an air quality assessment found high levels of black mold spores in its bunk room and elevated levels in its common areas. Very soon after this issue came to light, the City of Roswell welcomed Milton firefighters, equipment, and resources to co-locate with their own crews at Roswell's Fire Station 6. That station at 825 Cox Road is just 1.5 miles from Milton's Station 41, minimizing the response times for incidents in the coverage area. ALPHARETTA-MILTON PATCH PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
