| LifeMed medevac aircraft crashes on takeoff from Unalaska airport An air ambulance crashed while taking off at a major fishing port city in Alaska's Aleutian Islands, municipal officials said Thursday. A LifeMed medevac aircraft with three people crashed about 8 a.m. after taking off from the Unalaska Airport, acting city manager Marjie Veeder said in a news release. The Beechcraft King Air aircraft ended up in the ocean between the end of the runway and Hog Island in Unalaska Bay. The three people on board were picked up by a city harbor vessel and taken to the Iliuliuk Family and Health Services Clinic, Veeder said. No serious injuries were reported, a Coast Guard spokeswoman said. "They were in good condition when they were picked up by local harbor patrol," said Petty Officer 1st Class Ali Blackburn in Juneau. KTVF-TV WEBCENTER 11 High wind damages property, cancels flights in Juneau High winds caused moderate damage and prompted closures throughout the City and Borough of Juneau Thursday. The National Weather Service in Juneau extended the high wind warning until 5 a.m. Friday. The agency reported gusts of more than 100 mph Thursday morning in downtown. The wind caused multiple flight cancellations. Despite reports on social media of downed trees and blowing debris, Capital City Fire/Rescue Chief Rich Etheridge said there have not been many calls for wind-related problems. "Our other big call for this time of year is frostbite and cold injuries with people that are outdoors, either recreating or homeless, that don't have shelter from the wind," Etheridge said. "High winds can cause cold injuries pretty quickly." ALASKA PUBLIC MEDIA PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| 911 calls released: Victims of Las Vegas fire detail how people were trapped and jumping out of windows A series of the 911 calls made on the night the Alpine Motel Apartments fire went up into flames were released to 8 News Now by the City of Las Vegas Thursday. The calls detail the moments after residents and victims called 911, along with when first responders arrived at the scene that fateful night Dec. 21. The calls reporting flames and heavy smoke to the three-story apartment building on 9th Street between Stewart Avenue and Ogden Avenue, started to come in at around 4:15 a.m. "I made it out, Oh my God!," said one of the fire victims. Another man is heard on one of the calls describing people jumping out of the first and second windows of the building. "This place is going up in smoke and there are people trapped in there," said another caller coughing and having difficulty breathing and talking to dispatch. KLAS-TV CBS 8 LAS VEGAS The fire station on the front lines of California's homelessness crisis: 'We're trying to stop the bleeding' VIDEO: Paramedic Scott Lazar, a 16-year veteran of the Los Angeles Fire Department, is used to treating the same person, sometimes on the same day, on Skid Row. "Deja vu, yeah, it's every day down here," Lazar told "Nightline" as he treats a man for an overdose, as he did just the day before. Over five months, "Nightline" got an exclusive look at life at Lazar's LAFD Station 9, rare access to the day-to-day operations of this team and a glimpse into daily life for this city's most vulnerable. Station 9 is one of the busiest fire stations in the country, receiving an average of 80 calls a day -- mostly to treat those living on the street in L.A.'s well-known Skid Row. Lazar and his partner, Mike Contreras, are members of the fast-response vehicles at the station. Their job is to dart ahead of fire engines to assess the situation and gauge the required resources. ABC NEWS Green Bay Metro Fire makes wager with San Francisco Fire ahead of championship game The Green Bay Metro Fire Department and the San Francisco Fire Department have partnered to remind communities of the importance of practicing fire safety along with some friendly competition. On the Tuesday following Sunday's game, the fire chief will install a smoke alarm with the winning team's emblem on it. The fire chief will also wear the winning team's jersey for the entire day. The losing fire chief will also personally donate $100 to Burn Camp/Prevention charity of the winning chief's choice. The winning department will receive a donation of 50 smoke alarms from Kidde. "While we hope everyone has fun on football Sunday, we would also like to shed some light on fire safety in your home. Every year, our departments respond to numerous calls to residences without working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors," says Green Bay Metro. WFRV-TV AND WJMN-TV GREEN BAY Mental health push brings firefighter training to Florida - and a symbolic helmet sticker City firefighters can now bear an emblem for mental health on their helmets after the department's first officer suicide. It's a way for firefighters to keep the fallen officer close to them; it's a reminder for them to take care of themselves, said Shawn Weeks, president of Local 1891, which represents Boynton's paramedics and firefighters. "We look at him as guiding us ... there's a bigger picture," said Weeks, who noted the symbol represents mental health as a whole, not only suicide. "It should be a constant awareness, of, this is real." The city's interim fire chief, Matt Petty, signed off Jan. 7 on the emblem. If they choose, firefighters can put the sticker on their helmets - the symbol includes the fallen officer's last name and a green ribbon supporting open dialogue about mental health. THE PALM BEACH POST High school students to help with construction of 2 new fire stations in North Carolina VIDEO: Students at Dudley High School are getting the unique opportunity to work on the construction of two new fire stations as summer interns. "Opportunities don't come around like this very often, especially for high school students," Principal Rodney Wilds said. The Greensboro Fire Department received approval for the necessary funding to rebuild fire stations 7 and 56. Samet Corporation is the construction manager for the project. The company has worked with Guilford County Schools on school construction projects. Given its existing relationship with the school system, it approached Wilds with the opportunity to give students hands-on experience through the upcoming fire station projects. "Each student would be involved day to day with how the wiring goes in, how the piping goes in, and how the HVAC system is brought to the building and the cool air comes," Samet Senior Project Diversity Manager Johnny Sigers said WGHP-TV FOX 8 HIGH POINT PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
