| Major COVID outbreak puts Savoonga into lockdown Roughly 15% of residents in the remote community of Savoonga have COVID-19, the Norton Sound Health Corporation said this week. Savoonga is on St. Lawrence Island, out in the Bering Sea. The health corporation on Monday reported 115 COVID cases in the community of less than 800 people. The most recent 55 cases are considered community spread. The community is under lockdown and movements are limited, said Delbert Pungowiyi, a tribal member of the Native Village of Savoonga. "Eighty-plus percent of our adults are fully vaccinated, and I think that is making a positive impact on the effects of COVID," said Pungowiyi. "So Savoonga has done a complete lockdown right now. We can venture out to the post office and check our boxes, a few people at a time that can go in there. Everyone has to wear their masks." ALASKA PUBLIC MEDIA PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| No injuries reported in massive Southwest Philadelphia junkyard fire VIDEO/PHOTOS: A large fire that overcame a junkyard Tuesday afternoon in Southwest Philadelphia continued to smolder hours after firefighters gained control of the inferno that sent thick black smoke billowing across the city. Fire crews from multiple departments responded to the construction waste recycling facility on the 3700 block of South 61st Street just before 4 p.m. Captain Derek Bowmer told reporters that the fire started in a heap of trash and quickly spread. "Wood, tires, things like that, when they break down houses. It looks like that's what's in the piles," said Captain Derek Bowmer of the Philadelphia Fire Department. Nearly 100 firefighters responded to the blaze, including marine units that pumped water from the Schuylkill River to douse the flames. WTXF-TV FOX 29 PHILADELPHIA Veterans an easy fit in first responder jobs At community events where first responders are present and the U.S. flag is raised, you'll see many of the men and women working for fire, police, and other emergency services salute. That's how you know they are military veterans. "Service members both past and current are allowed to salute in civilian clothes," said Spicewood Fire Chief Sam Stacks, a U.S. Navy veteran. "When you see someone saluting, nine times out of 10, they are a veteran." Once out of the military, many veterans feel called to continue their service, this time in the community as first responders, turning their military experience into a civilian career. While only 7 percent of the U.S. population has served in the military as of 2020, 19 percent of police officers are veterans, according to a research project conducted for The Marshall Project, a nonprofit journalism organization dedicated to criminal justice. It is the third most common occupation for veterans. DAILYTRIB.COM Texas Tech researchers team up with fire crews for their latest project The engineering department at Texas Tech University headed down to the Lubbock Fire Rescue Training Facility to gain first-hand experiences as a firefighter for their latest project. Suman Chowdhury, with the Department of Engineering at Texas Tech, says the project isn't actually for a grade, it's about the safety of firefighters. "Department of Homeland Security is interested to develop a firefighting helmet," Chowdhury said. "So, right now, the firefighters' activities and roles have changed a lot throughout the years. Only 7% of their activities that are mainly fire extinguishing, but mostly respond to the vehicle extrication, automated accidents and, and also, like there are active shooting incidents firefighters are responding to, but they do not have a ballistic helmet." These researchers are trying to improve one the most important pieces of safety equipment a firefighter can have: helmets. KLTV ABC 7 TYLER New York law strengthens building code enforcement; Here's what it means Property owners who repeatedly violate building codes and fail to correct potentially dangerous conditions will face mandatory penalties under a law signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul. The law, sponsored by Assemblyman Kenneth Zebrowski, D-New City, adds to the current penalties by imposing a minimum fine of $25 a day after 180 days of a property being in violation. An unaddressed violation after 360 days would bring a minimum penalty of $50 a day. The maximum code violation penalty remains $1,000 a day that could be levied by a judge. But Zebrowski said the amount is rarely imposed so he and state Sen. Rachel May, D-Onondaga, proposed strengthening code violation penalties. Zebrowski and May said the tougher fine structure is meant to push municipal governments to act faster on properties that are not up to code and have languished for months with token fines put in place. LOHUD - METERED SITE COVID-19 tests: Does accuracy vary throughout the day? When a COVID-19 test returns a false-positive result — meaning a person does not have a SARS-CoV-2 infection, yet the test is positive — this disrupts that person's life unnecessarily. However, a false negative — when someone does have an infection, but the test is negative — is more detrimental. This is because treatment is mistakenly deferred, and the individual may infect others as they continue to participate in their regular daily activities. A new study from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN, suggests that the time of day at which a person takes an RT-PCR COVID-19 test may affect the likelihood of an inaccurate result. The study found that the participants were up to twice as likely to receive an accurate positive result if they got tested in the middle of the day and not at night.
