| Anchorage man indicted on arson charge in 2022 apartment fire An Anchorage man has been indicted in connection with an October 2022 apartment fire that spread to multiple units, according to a news release from the Department of Justice. A federal grand jury last week returned an indictment charging Paul Bates, 24, with arson. The fire happened at an apartment building on East 12th Avenue on Oct. 30, 2022. According to the release, Bates lit his own apartment on fire after an argument with a neighbor. The fire led to an evacuation of the building. Bates was arrested the day of the fire. If convicted, Bates faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 5 years in prison. KTUU-TV NBC 2 ANCHORAGE PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| VIDEO: Owner vows to rebuild after fire destroys part of Florida beach & tennis club Part of St. Augustine's Atlantic Beach & Tennis Club was destroyed in a fire early Tuesday morning. The club's owner, who lives right behind the club, said he learned of the fire when he woke up at 1:45 a.m. and saw flames shooting through the roof of his business. "I couldn't believe it," Bill Brothers said. "I was in shock." He said he yelled for his wife to call 911, but when they got a dispatcher, they learned firefighters were already battling the blaze on Ocean Trace Road off A1A South. "It makes you sick to put 32 years into something and have it destroyed in just a few hours," Brothers said, adding that they were about to celebrate 32 years in business next month. "I came over to watch it burn down -- something that you've worked on and that you love... But you can't give up." WJXT-TV CW 4 JACKSONVILLE Stricter penalties proposed for violators of South Carolina's Move Over Law Most people know when an emergency vehicle of any kind approaches their vehicle with lights flashing it means get out of the way. But did you know that you can be fined in South Carolina for not moving away when a police car, firetruck, ambulance or any emergency vehicle is parked on the side of the road as officers deal with crashes and disabled vehicles. The law includes police bicycles operating as emergency vehicles. The fine? No less than $300 and no more than $500. Proposed legislation would tighten that up even further with points added to your license if you violate the law. Drivers can amass 12 points before a license is suspended. The South Carolina Senate passed the changes to the so-called move-over law and it is pending in the House of Representatives when the legislature reconvenes in January. THE STATE - METERED SITE From the ashes: Alumni from Indiana high school compile research on 1952 fire PHOTOS: Before anyone knew it, the school was engulfed in flame. Three men driving near Center Grove High School noticed the strange, yellow glow in the late hours of Oct. 31, 1952. They found the school on fire, with both the main school building ablaze and spreading to the gymnasium. Witnesses say the flames shot 150 feet into the air. Even as firefighters worked all night long, there was not much they could do. The fire burned the school to the ground, leaving students, teachers and the community in flux. But the tragedy proved to be a critical point in Center Grove's history. "The theme that developed after the fire was — how do we continue education? We have these kids without a school, how are we going to keep that going?" said John Frank, a historian who taught social studies at Center Grove High School for 29 years.
