Family and friends are boarding up a home on Terrell Drive in Wasilla after a house fire claimed the lives of Terry and Emma Mason. "This was a difficult fire to fight. It was a one story with a full basement. And the fire was in the basement. And the floor collapsed. So it took us a while to finish extinguishing the fire and conducting the search," explained Michael Keenan, Mat-Su Fire Chief for District 1. Terry and Emma were married with three kids. Terry had ongoing health issues. "And suffering from cancer for the last two years and he had brain surgery and he started out with lung cancer," said Rebecca Lemieux, Terry's sister. Most recently, Terry was given the good news that he had no new cancers. Sadly, the initial phone call about the fire to relatives was one they could never forget. "It was like a kick in the stomach," said Rebecca.  

Phoenix firefighters battled a massive third-alarm blaze in at a warehouse early Wednesday morning. Phoenix fire officials tell Arizona's Family that crews were called out to 13th Avenue and Roosevelt Street just after midnight. When firefighters arrived, they found massive flames and large plumes of smoke billowing from a warehouse in the area. Officials believe that warehouse is used as a liquidation distributor for drug and grocery products. Crews immediately upgraded the call to a first-alarm to ensure adequate resources to fight the blaze, but as firefighting efforts continued, crews ultimately had to call a third-alarm as more than 70 firefighters were forced to respond. Video from the scene showed authorities still working to put out hotspots as the fire was still smoldering more than 6 hours after the initial call.  

VIDEOS/PHOTOS: In a 5 -2 decision, the Colorado Supreme Court on Monday ruled the controversial reverse Google keyword search warrant utilized by the Denver Police Department to track down suspects involved in a house fire that killed a Senegalese family of five in Denver's Green Valley Ranch neighborhood in 2020 could be admitted as evidence and remanded "the case to the trial court for further proceedings consistent with this opinion." It's a decision that could have broad implications in how investigators use digital technology to help crack cases beyond this case. The fire in the 5300 block of N. Truckee Street on August 5, 2020, which investigators suspected started as a result of arson, killed a toddler, child, and three adults. The family had immigrated to Colorado from Senegal.  

VIDEO: While dirt and traffic headaches turn into extravagant Las Vegas Grand Prix (LVGP) grandstands and world-class racing structures, first responders are preparing for potential obstacles to reach thousands of spectators and hotel guests during three days of street closures. The track that's in place today – nearly four miles of public roads, including the Las Vegas Strip – once looked much different. That's according to Renee Wilm, CEO of the LVGP, who told 8 News Now in June that police originally raised red flags due to a lack of evacuation routes. "A lot of safety changes," Wilm said during a summer tour of the paddock building, referencing different county and law enforcement input that altered the original track layout.  

If you take a wrong turn here this weekend, you could end up lost in a haunted corn maze, or worse - you could be chased by one of the creepy characters that lurk in the dark. The Belfield Volunteer Fire Department is putting on its yearly haunted house fundraiser on Main Street. "There's maybe one or two things that are the same, but everything else is completely different than it was last year," Ashley Gross, volunteer firefighter said. "We took it down last year and then we rebuilt it." She said people aged six to 80 volunteer to make the event a success. Gross has been volunteering for the project for more than a decade, she said. There are 25 to 35 people who come together every year to put on the event. Volunteer firefighter Kevin Anderson said that's one of the scariest parts of the project: "the fact that we found that many people that can pull off weird."
