| Exercise on avalanche and landslide rescue set for Lemon Creek area in Juneau A number of organizations devoted to rescuing people from avalanches and landslides are gathering for an exercise Friday evening. Peter Flynn is an engineer who drives Capital City Fire Rescue fire trucks. He's also a long time volunteer for Juneau Mountain Rescue. He explained that they will be doing an interagency exercise that has a focus on urban avalanches or any similar natural disaster such as a landslide. In addition to the fire department and Juneau Mountain Rescue, SEADOGS, and the Eaglecrest Ski Patrol will participate. Flynn says the goal is to improve how they respond to these scenarios. "The plan is for all of us to be working together so we're just going to be practicing that, trying to improve upon those responses in the future so we can serve the community better."

| VIDEO: 2 Die As Small Plane Crashes Into Pennsylvania Neighborhood A small plane crashed and exploded in a Bucks County neighborhood on Thursday, killing both people on board. The crash occurred around 5 p.m. on Morgan and Victoria lanes in Hilltown Township. A ring camera from Catherine LaPat's home captured the blast. "I heard the engine shut off and glanced up and it did a flip and a spiral over my head," LaPat told NBC10. After the crash, LaPat and other neighbors ran toward the plane to try and help the people on board. The crash also caused Tariq Thomas' truck to catch fire. "I was thinking I have chemicals in the back there and people are walking over," Thomas said. A propeller from the plane also flew into Thomas' home. "On impact, different shrapnel hitting different homes," Thomas said. WCAU-TV NBC 10 PHILADELPHIA Related with Video: 2 Dead in Fiery Small Plane Crash in Hilltown Township Firefighters union in Virginia wins vote to represent first responders in collective bargaining A firefighters union in Alexandria has won the right to collectively bargain on behalf of first responders in the city. This win is being called ‘historic' — it's the first time in decades that a union will be able to collectively bargain contracts for public sector employees in the state of Virginia. Josh Turner, president of the union, IAFF Local 2141, says it's been a long time coming. "It's been 44 years since public employees could have a seat at the table," said Turner. Collective bargaining between for public sector employees has not been allowed in the state for quite some time, after a Virginia Supreme Court ruling 1977 prevented collective bargaining for government workers in the state. That is, until a law took effect in May 2021, allowing localities to adopt an ordinance to enter into collective bargaining. Alexandria was one of the first localities to do so. WDVM-TV 25 HAGERSTOWN Fire rescue in Florida hosts ‘Honor Challenge' to remember fallen firefighters Thirty-three years after two Orange County firefighters died while responding to a building fire, Orange County Fire Rescue Department continues to honor their contributions to the fire service. Engineer Todd Aldridge and Firefighter Mark Benge paid the ultimate sacrifice while responding to a building fire near Lake Buena Vista on February 24, 1989. Between Feb. 7 and March 31, Orange County firefighters will participate in exercises called the "Honor Challenge," which simulates the physically challenging situations Aldridge and Benge faced when they responded to their last alarm. On Thursday at various Orange County stations, crews took part in the 36-minute challenge, including Station 36, where Engineer Aldridge and Firefighter Benge were assigned. WFTV ABC 9 ORLANDO Dee Snider Releases Music Video For 'Stand', Featuring Footage From Documentary About Deadly Great White Concert Fire VIDEO: Twisted Sister vocalist Dee Snider was recently interviewed for "America's Deadliest Concert: The Guest List", a Reelz documentary about the infamous Great White concert fire nearly two decades ago that killed a hundred people and injured hundreds more. Featured on the documentary soundtrack is one of the most heartfelt, moving songs from Dee's latest album, "Leave A Scar", titled "Stand". Today, in honor of those lives lost, Snider and "The Guest List" director/producer David Bellino have unveiled a brand new music video for "Stand", featuring footage from the documentary. Snider says about the "Stand" music video: "While I didn't write 'Stand' for the Station nightclub fire documentary 'America's Deadliest Rock Concert: The Guest List', it is a perfect fit. BLABBERMOUTH A piece of South Dakota history makes its way home VIDEO: A one-of-a-kind restoration project is finally complete. The Canton Volunteer Fire Department spent more than 25 years bringing one of its trucks back to life. A piece of history has made its way home. "History's good for some things (laugh). It's nice to let everybody reminisce how things were and how things have changed," Canton Fire Chief Nate Laubach said. The Canton Volunteer Fire Department started restoring this century-old chemical truck in the 1990s, but the project quickly stalled. AJ's Automotive inherited the restoration about four years ago. Simply locating parts was a challenge. "The truck was torn apart for a long period of time and so we had to find parts that were in different shops it had been in and it just took awhile," AJ's Automotive Body Shop Manager Troy Drewes said.
