| Human remains found after fire at abandoned commercial garage in Fairbanks Firefighters found human remains after a fire at an abandoned commercial garage along Winch Road in Fairbanks. According to a dispatch from Alaska State Troopers, the Steese Area Volunteer Fire Department responded to a report of flames at the garage just before 9:30 p.m. Sunday. Shortly after extinguishing the fire, the remains were found. The fire was determined to have originated above an oil stove, which a deputy fire marshal at the scene said is consistent with a chimney fire. The building is considered a total loss by troopers. The fire did not appear suspicious, according to troopers, and the remains were sent to the state medical examiner for identification. KTUU-TV NBC 2 ANCHORAGE PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| Plane with 21 on board runs off Texas runway and catches fire while attempting to take off VIDEO: No one was seriously hurt when an airplane bound for Boston ran off a runway and burned Tuesday morning near Houston, authorities said. The McDonnell Douglas MD-87 was carrying 21 people when it rolled through a fence and caught fire while trying to take off from the Houston Executive Airport in Brookshire. Eighteen passengers and three crew members all survived, Sergeant Stephen Woodard of the Texas Department of Public Safety told reporters, describing the incident as "horrific." Two people were taken to area hospitals, the Waller County Sheriff's Office said. One person suffered a minor back injury, and the other person was experiencing respiratory issues, according to the sheriff's office. The 33-year-old plane is owned by Houston homebuilder J. Alan Kent.

He will become the mascot dog for Ladder 20 of the New York City Fire Department in lower Manhattan. Tank is set to replace the dog Twenty, who was given to the Ladder company 20 years ago after they lost seven firefighters when the North Tower came down September 11, 2001. "I've always known about Twenty, who is the Dalmatian that the Rochester Sheriff gave to Ladder 20 of the New York Fire Department 20 years ago," said Sara Rubin of Iowa Dalmatians. "She was a donation after the towers collapsed where they lost seven people and it was a donation to help them heal." After Twenty died in 2018, word got out that a new dog was available, but the firefighters were not yet ready. Then, there was a Facebook post saying, "they were ready to love again," said Rubin.

DELAWARE ONLINE - METERED SITE Maine explosion lawsuit for six firefighters settled, victims and families hope for closure A lawsuit on behalf of firefighters involved in the deadly Farmington explosion has been settled two years after the incident, according to an attorney. Six firefighters and the estate of Captain Michael Bell settled with C.N. Brown Company of South Paris and Techno Metal Post Maine of Manchester. No other details about the settlement were shared publicly. The lawsuit claimed negligence by both companies. Bell was the one person killed in the September 2019 blast. "While the settlement of the civil case ends the court action, the firefighters, especially the family of Michael Bell, will live with the effects of this tragic event forever," Walter McKee told News Center Maine in a statement Tuesday. An investigation by the State Fire Marshal's Office found the explosion was caused by a gas line severed when posts were drilled into the ground, and the gas company's technician failed to do a required pressure check when refilling the emptied tank. NEWS CENTER MAINE Confusion continues as Louisiana city approaches workers' COVID-19 vaccine mandate as soft launch The New Orleans fire department says it received a nice gift from the city: one thousand rapid COVID tests days before the city's vaccine mandate went into effect. "It's advantageous in that sense we can test when you get off work and then be ready by the following tour," said Aaron Mischler. Firefighters work on 24- and 48-hour shifts, so union leader Aaron Mischler says the once-a-week testing requirements work well for their firefighters. However, with an estimated 40 percent of the department unvaccinated, those one thousand tests will run out within a matter of weeks. "We brought it to the city office's attention there is a state statute, but no medical testing whatsoever cost of medical testing is to be passed onto the employee," said Mischler.
