| Wrangell lends Ketchikan an ambulance after fire The City and Borough of Wrangell is lending Ketchikan an ambulance after a fire destroyed some of the town's emergency equipment. The fire burned early Tuesday morning inside one of the Ketchikan area fire stations – South Tongass Fire Department. It did not injure anyone. Wrangell's Borough Manager Mason Villarma said he was notified by the Wrangell Volunteer Fire Department Captain, Jordan Buness, that Ketchikan needed help. "Jordan Buness came into my office and said, ‘Hey, we need to send our ambulance down,'" Villarma said. "So we got the ambulance on the barge and now they have an ambulance that they can use." Wrangell has three ambulances in total. Villarma said that the city does have ample coverage and solutions in case an emergency happens while the ambulance is gone.

| One Colorado fire department has responded to a fire every 12 hours since April 1 VIDEO: The Colorado Springs Fire Department (CSFD) has responded to a significant fire every 12 hours since April 1, according to a new video posted by Ashley Franco, the Public Information Officer for CSFD. The video was posted to social media on Thursday, April 11 along with a warning from CSFD to homeowners to check around their homes for any fire hazards and to always have working smoke alarms. The fires CSFD has responded to include structure, grass, and vehicle fires. "The CSFD has responded to a significant fire every 12 hours since April 1 with the majority of those fires being structure fires," said Franco. Some common causes CSFD has seen from those fires, according to Franco are unattended cooking, careless smoking, and unattended candles. KXRM-TV FOX 21 COLORADO SPRINGS New fire truck in North Carolina helps fight fires, the cancer-causing chemicals they cause VIDEO/PHOTOS: Raleigh firefighters are adding a new truck to their fleet to help protect them from cancer-causing soot that can cling to skin and gear. Rehab 12 has several features to help protect firefighters, including a handwashing station. Battalion Chief Keith Wilder said it is ready to use as soon as an emergency arises. Specifically, Wilder said the Rehab 12 would roll out for fires at the two-alarm or greater level, or at the request of the division chief. "I'm so happy to see that vehicle because someone is here to take care of me," Wilder said. The truck cost the city about $260,000. Cancer-causing carcinogens are the No. 1 killers of firefighters. Raleigh Fire Chief Herbert Griffin pushed for the Raleigh Fire Department to get Rehab 12 after having a similar truck during the 13 years he spent with the Houston Fire Department. WRAL-TV NBC 5 RALEIGH FDNY required to give EMTs bulletproof vests under bill approved by New York City Council VIDEO: New York City Council approved a bill Thursday requiring the FDNY to give bulletproof vests to EMTs. Supporters say it's necessary as threats against first responders intensify. Natasha Nembhard joined the FDNY first as an EMT and now as a paramedic in Brooklyn because she loves to help people. "I wanted to take care of people. I didn't know that I was gonna be a victim," she said. She says over the years, 911 calls have become more dangerous. On one recent call, she responded for a man who was passed out on the street. "He woke up when we got there... He got really aggressive really fast and the next thing you know, he pulled out a knife," she said. Thankfully, Nembhard was OK. But it was just last year when EMT Julia Fatum was stabbed on the job by a patient in Manhattan. WCBS-TV CBS 2 NEW YORK CITY Medics trapped inside ambulance after flipping, crashing into Texas restaurant PHOTOS/VIDEO: Two medics were rushed to a hospital Thursday night after their ambulance flipped and crashed into a restaurant in southwest Houston. It happened a little after 10:30 p.m. when the Houston Fire Department was called to a motor vehicle accident on S Gessner near Westpark Tollway. It's unclear what exactly caused the crash, but officers with the Houston Police Department said it appears the private ambulance was headed southbound on Gessner when it changed lanes and hit a restaurant's exterior before flipping. Responding crews came across the ambulance landed on its side and saw the two medics operating the ambulance were trapped inside the cab. Firefighters were able to extricate the medics in about 20 minutes from the ambulance. KPRC-TV NBC 2 HOUSTON PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
