The Alaska State Fire Marshal's Office also responded to determine the origin and cause of the fire.

VIDEO: A Seattle Fire Department crew was inside the Ballard Fred Meyer when a security guard rushed to warn them about people rummaging through their fire truck in the parking lot. The firefighters noted the guard was "shaking" as he told them he had just been chased by a group of men after yelling at them in an attempt to interrupt the theft. By the time the crew got back to their ladder truck, the thieves had made off with a generator, two chainsaws and two circular saws. In an email about the incident, a deputy chief noted that it appeared the thieves "know exactly which compartments to go to." "This robbery is a disappointing occurrence that has been repeated three times in recent months," an assistant chief wrote in an email about the thefts.  

VIDEO/PHOTOS: As night falls over El Paso on a spine-chilling Halloween, there sits El Paso Fire Station No. 9. "It's over 100 years old, and we are haunted," said Jesse Esterline, EPFD Firefighter at station No. 9. Now, this station isn't like most. It's home to one of the oldest ghost stories in the department's history. In fact, the haunted station made its way onto 10 of America's most haunted fire stations, ranking in at number six on a list compiled by FireRescue1, an online industry resource for firefighters. Generations of firefighters come and go as they serve the city of El Paso, but there's one whose legend chooses to linger on. "If you're here long enough you become a believer," said Esterline. Woodard Bloxom was a captain at Station No. 9 back in 1930.
