| Kenai council: Fire chief can appear in COVID vaccine campaign The Kenai City Council will allow Kenai Fire Chief Tony Prior to participate in Gov. Mike Dunleavy's "Sleeves Up for Summer" COVID-19 vaccination campaign while in uniform, under the condition that he says at some point in the video that he is not speaking on behalf of the City of Kenai. That is following a vote in support of Prior participating by the council at their May 5 meeting, during which Kenai City Manager Paul Ostrander said Prior reached out to him about participating in the campaign, which Dunleavy announced at the end of April. The campaign is intended to boost COVID-19 vaccination rates prior to the summer tourism season and has already featured testimonials from people across the state, including Sen. Peter Micciche. Some of the other participants include DHSS Commissioner Adam Crum and Alaska Chief Medical Officer Dr. Anne Zink. PENINSULA CLARION PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| Fire destroys portion of North Dakota strip mall VIDEO: A multi-business plaza went up in flames in South Fargo. "At 1:20, we had a report of a fire here at 3242 20th Street South. When crews arrived, they found smoke showing and fire in the attic of the building. They struck a second alarm to bring in additional crews and as you see here, there's an extensive fire involved of the attic, so they were working to get that stopped. We did bring in a third alarm, which brought in all of our on-coming shifts. The off-duty crews," Fargo Fire Marshal Ryan Erickson said. Fire tore through both Bodyworks Physical Therapy and GiGi's Playhouse. Fire Marshal Erickson says, "We did confirm that both of those units were vacated prior to our arrival." Erickson says there were no injuries. He says he is not sure where the fire first started. KVRR-TV FOX 15 FARGO California firefighters allege gear gave them cancer When firefighter Teresa Mauldin was diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2013, she attributed it to the dangers of the job. But Mauldin and more than four dozen San Jose firefighters now attribute the danger to the equipment they used and wore every day. "I feel betrayed," she said. A group of 49 current and former San Jose firefighters, along with three of their spouses, filed two lawsuits in December and March against 27 manufacturing companies including 3M and DuPont. The firefighters allege the suppressing foam they used and their protective equipment—otherwise known as turnout gear—contained per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, known to cause cancer according to the Environmental Protection Agency. PFAS is nearly indestructible and can linger on clothing for decades, where it can be absorbed into the skin. SAN JOSE SPOTLIGHT This dog ‘flunked out' of service school; Now he's a star sniffing out arson fires in Texas Sheldon has a nose for solving arson cases, and he proved it on his very first day at work. The dog — part golden retriever, part black Labrador — was trained by State Farm Insurance to use his incredibly sensitive snout to detect fuels and other accelerants, when authorities suspect that a fire was set on purpose and need evidence to support their case. Sheldon's handler, Saginaw fire battalion chief John Tadlock, remembers the eager pooch's very first case, in the spring of 2018. The human-canine duo, having just completed a month of training on the east coast, had returned to Tarrant County and was called to a car dealership where several vehicles had mysteriously burned three days earlier. Local and federal authorities had video of a suspect leaving the dealership minutes before the fire, but didn't have evidence of what caused the fire itself. They were baffled. FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM - METERED SITE Wisconsin fire departments refurbishing vintage fire trucks VIDEO/PHOTOS: Both the West Bend and Town of Sheboygan fire departments recently added new vintage fire trucks to their fleets. The West Bend Fire Department recently refurbished a 1929 Model Ford A fire truck. According to the fire department, they believe it was originally owned by the Germantown Fire Department and then purchased by the West Bend FD in the 1940s. "The records were bad back in the day, so this could have been an actual working engine for the West Bend Fire Department sometime in the 1940s," said Captain Kenny Asselin, the fire prevention captain, said. He added that it hasn't been used in a firefighting capacity in at least 50 years. It went to the West Bend Firefighters Club, but when the club was disbanded, the truck changed hands to the city. It was used in various parades, but it became too expensive to continue with scheduled maintenance. WTMJ-TV NBC 4 MILWAUKEE New York firefighter fired for testing positive for marijuana wants his job back Scott Martin, a 12-year veteran with the Buffalo Fire Department, was fired from his job earlier this year because he tested positive for marijuana. Martin doesn't deny using marijuana. The 37-year-old firefighter who served with the Air Force in Iraq and Afghanistan said he is a certified medical marijuana patient who uses cannabis to treat post-traumatic stress disorder and back pain and that cannabis has greatly improved his health and well-being. Now he's fighting to get his job back. On May 5, he filed a lawsuit against the City of Buffalo and the Buffalo Fire Department be reinstated to his position, rank and seniority, receive back pay but most importantly to him, to be reassigned to Truck 14, 1st Platoon. "He's been terminated wrongfully because the collective bargaining agreement hasn't been updated," said Martin's New York City-based attorney, David C. Holland, who specializes in laws related to cannabis. BUFFALO NEWS PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
