Mat-Su Borough begins McKinley Fire debris removal VIDEO: The McKinley Fire left tons of debris in its wake after destroying 51 homes, 80 outbuildings and three businesses in August. Now the Matanuska-Susitna Borough is working to clean up the mess. The borough contracted with Alaska Demolition to do the heavy lifting, removing scrap metal and trash left in the right-of-way. "Mainly a lot of tin. High beams from mobile trailers, some steel, a lot of truck parts, engines, transmissions, a lot of old vehicles," said Alaska Demolition excavator operator Jon Jacoby. Butch Shapiro, the manager for the Solid Waste Division, said the goal is to get the job done before winter sets in. "So it's critical we keep those open so that we can ensure we can do proper snow removal and any kind of maintenance that's going on. Those right-of-ways are critical for snow storage," he said. Alaska Demolition will get $127.50 per ton, with the total bill not to exceed $96,000. KTVA-TV CBS 11 ANCHORAGE PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

FDNY trucks crash in Brooklyn, injuring 11 firefighters and 1 other Eleven New York City firefighters were taken to hospitals and one other person was injured after two fire trucks collided while responding to a call in Brooklyn on Tuesday night, officials said. The 11 firefighters were transported to hospitals as a precaution after the fire engine and ladder truck collided just before 10 p.m. in Crown Heights. Any injury was minor, according to a spokesman for Fire Department of the City of New York, Firefighter Michael Parrella. The civilian who was injured was thought to have been a pedestrian with injuries listed as minor, the New York City Police Department said. The New York Daily News reported that the fire trucks crashed into at least two other cars and clipped a 68-year-old man. WNBC-TV NBC 4 NEW YORK Fire Destroys 2 Storage Tanks at Oil Facility in California Two chemical storage tanks caught fire and three others were threatened at an energy storage facility in Contra Costa County Tuesday afternoon, according to fire officials. The blaze burned the two tanks to the ground and damaged two others at the NuStar Energy facility in Crockett, according to the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District, which got the first call at about 1:50 p.m. No injuries were reported. People in Crockett and Rodeo were asked to shelter in place. They were encouraged to stay inside and keep their windows and doors closed. The shelter in place was lifted at about 9:30 p.m. Both directions of Interstate 80 were shut down between Highway 4 and the Carquinez Bridge for more than 6 hours. The tanks were partially filled with ethanol, and fire crews used foam to fight the flames and water to cool the adjacent tanks that weren't burning, according to ConFire and NuStar officials. KNTV NBC 11 SAN JOSE Related: Nearly half of US oil refineries are in states hit by earthquakes and hurricanes What firefighters make state by state, some may surprise you Every day, more than 1 million U.S. firefighters put their lives on the line to protect us. Not only by putting out fires, but by responding to all types of emergencies. On top of that, their shifts often last a full 24 hours. Inspired by the heroism of firefighters, the safety experts at Frontpoint examined government data to report how career firefighters' salaries compare across the nation. California is number one on the list with the highest-paid firefighters at $71,036. The average salary for a firefighter in Kentucky is $33,520 a year. When adjusted for cost of living, they will have a purchasing power of $38,134. ($18.26 per hour). Kentucky pays their firefighters the 5th lowest in the nation. EYEWITNESS NEWS (WEHT/WTVW) Ohio city planning to close long-standing fire station, eliminate battalion chiefs The president of the union representing Youngstown firefighters said he was surprised to learn the city plans to close a fire station and eliminate three battalion chiefs through attrition. Charlie Smith, who is also a battalion chief, said the plans were revealed in a Tuesday morning meeting with Youngstown City Law Director Jeff Limbian. Although the city asked for the meeting last week, Smith said the city would not reveal an agenda, so he was shocked to learn that Station 7, at Madison Avenue and Elm Street, would be closed. Smith said the station, which is right next to Youngstown State University and just a few blocks from St. Elizabeth Health Center, is the busiest in the city and its closing would hurt response times not only on the north side but across the city. Because of its close proximity to the Madison Avenue Expressway, Station 7 answers most calls in the city, Smith said. WYTV ABC 33 Military firefighters in Delaware question whether myriad of medical problems are related to toxic chemicals in firefighting foam They're called "forever chemicals." Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, better known as PFAS, PFOS, and PFOA, are man-made chemicals that are all around us. It's expected that the average person has some exposure to the chemicals in their lifetimes whether it's through food containers or the water we drink. The Environmental Protection Agency has linked exposure to certain levels of PFOA and PFOS to cancer, liver and immune deficiencies, as well as developmental effects to fetuses during pregnancy or breastfed infants. But as more information comes out about just how harmful these chemicals are, military firefighters--who had daily exposure to the chemicals in AFFF foam--are starting to wonder if it's the source of their myriad of mysterious health problems.
