| Plane, helicopter collide in Katmai National Park VIDEO: A helicopter pilot flying in Southwest Alaska received medical transport to Anchorage on Labor Day after a mid-air collision with a small plane. According to Katmai National Park & Preserve, a Bell helicopter and Beaver floatplane were flying north of Lake Coville within the remote park when the two aircraft struck each other, causing both aircraft to make emergency landings. The helicopter pilot was able to walk away from the crash site with minor injuries before being evacuated for a medical assessment; the pilot and six passengers of the floatplane were uninjured. The helicopter was about 800 feet above the ground when the collision happened, according to Clint Johnson, chief of the National Transportation Safety Board's Alaska Regional office.

| VIDEO: 1 person injured, boat sinks after being engulfed in flames off of New York fuel dock One person was injured after a boat caught fire on City Island Tuesday just before 6 p.m. The small powerboat sunk in the Long Island Sound shortly after firefighters were able to get the blaze under control. The boat was just off the fuel dock at 673 City Island Avenue in the Bronx when it went up in flames. Witnesses say the boat's owner had just pulled up for gas and was standing on the dock, when the attendant started filing the tank up. "As soon as they started fueling there was an explosion," said Tommy Goldberg, a neighbor. One person was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries. The smoke billowing from the powerboat could be seen for miles. "I was on my jet ski and heard boom," said Luis Cash, an eyewitness. "It was crazy." NewsCopter 7 was over the scene as firefighters put out the blaze. WABC-TV ABC 7 NEW YORK Specialized photographer in Louisiana captures dramatic moments in firefighters' daily battles VIDEO: A volunteer firefighter in Ascension Parish is using his hobby of photography to bring the public into their world. Blake Stone has what some could call a burning passion for capturing the moment. As a volunteer firefighter, he knows from firsthand experience what it takes to stand on the front lines and serve the community. "It's a great way to show what we are, who we are, and what we do," Stone said. With his brand, Southern Fire Photography, Stone is breaking down the barriers between what the public thinks firefighters do, and what they actually go through on a daily basis. "This is a way for everybody in the public to see what we do on the back side. Because a lot of people just see fire trucks going around and they wonder where are they going?" WBRZ-TV ABC 2 BATON ROUGE New Missouri law includes PTSD treatment for first responders VIDEO: First responders can now make use of a new state law meant to help with post-traumatic stress disorder. Senate Bill 24 includes PTSD as an occupational disease when diagnosed in first responders and establishes benefits under workers' compensation. The bill states there is no physical injury required for a first responder to receive benefits. President of Columbia Professional Firefighters IAFF Local 1055, Zack Privette, said this mental help is overdue and necessary for first responders. "This legislation is not only needed, it's critical to the longevity of their careers and to maintaining their ability to function as human beings," Privette said. Gale Blomenkamp with the Boone County Fire Protection District said first responders often have to focus on the job first, and deal with the emotional aspect afterward. KMIZ-TV ABC 17 COLUMBIA California firefighters rescue driver from bottom of 100-foot cliff by forming a human pulley system VIDEO/PHOTOS: A driver who plunged off a 100-foot cliff in a remote area of Southern California and spent five days "immobilized" in their wrecked pickup truck, was rescued this weekend by firefighters who formed a human pulley system to pluck the victim from the ravine, authorities said. The rescue unfolded about 10:58 a.m. local time on Saturday in the Tehachapi Mountains of Kern County when a 911 caller reported seeing a vehicle at the bottom of a steep ravine on a zig-zagging two-lane road between the towns of Arvin and Stallion Springs, according to a Kern County Fire Department incident report. When firefighters got to the secluded scene, they found a badly damaged pickup truck and one occupant at the bottom of a 100-foot cliff, according to the report. ABC NEWS PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
