| Wildfire Walk in Fairbanks opens to the public VIDEO: A recently burned forest, once the site of a threatening fire, has been given a new purpose; serving as an educational tool, known as the Wildfire Walk. In 2021, homes near Yankovich Road were faced with the threat of flames as a fire sparked hundreds of yards away, on University property. Years later, the reminder of what could have been holds more than memories as a new tool to inform the public about wildfires and the risk they pose to property. Allison York, the coordinator for the Alaska Fire Consortium at UA, also said that it's important for folks to come out and learn for their own safety. "Most Alaskans probably live in a forest that burns and may not even realize it," Miller explained. "Right around Fairbanks and what we call the wildland-urban interface, it's all a critical fire management option, so if there's an ignition in neighborhoods, it gets all the resources right away."

| VIDEOS: Huge fire destroys antiques warehouse in Pennsylvania PHOTOS: A huge fire that could be seen from miles away destroyed an antiques warehouse in Columbia, Lancaster County. Firefighters responded to the fire at Tollbooth Antiques on Chestnut and North Second streets in Columbia around 8:30 p.m. on Thursday. The owner, David Doolittle, spoke to WGAL. "It's devastating. It's been a family business for 20 years. We have a family of vendors that have their own businesses inside this building - 50 vendors. We have employees that are very concerned. Vendors are losing inventory. Yeah, we're very upset," he said. The assistant fire chief said one firefighter suffered burns to his hand. It's not yet clear how the fire started. WGAL-TV NBC 8 LANCASTER Widespread technology outage disrupts flights, emergency services and banking around the world A technological meltdown disrupted airlines, banks, hospitals and emergency services on Friday. Thousands of Microsoft users reported being suddenly knocked offline, and the culprit appeared to be cybersecurity company CrowdStrike, which had a routine software update malfunction. "CrowdStrike is actively working with customers impacted by a defect found in a single content update for Windows hosts," the company said in a statement. Customers using Mac and Linux operating systems were not affected, according to CrowdStrike. When the botched update crashed computer systems, scores of airport travelers were stranded, hospital appointments were delayed and live news broadcasts were cut short. CrowdStrike said it was not a cyberattack, but rather a software glitch. In some states, including Alaska and Ohio, 911 phone lines were down. NPR New video shows moments crane collapsed on busy Florida bridge in April VIDEO: Newly released video is showing just what happened on the ground the moment multiple vehicles were hit by a crane that suddenly collapsed onto a busy South Florida roadway, and how officers worked to get the bridge clear and victims the help they needed. It happened on April 4 in the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale. Body camera video shows the moments officers first responded to the catastrophic construction failure on the Southeast Third Avenue Bridge, not knowing at the time what just happened and if anyone was hurt. As officers were seen trying to clear the roadway in the midst of rush hour traffic, they discovered driver Carol Zinser, who was seen remarkably getting out of her car that was destroyed by the crane. While some were unscathed from the impact, others like Gemmalyn Castillo were not. WPLG-TV ABC 10 MIAMI California therapy dog group for first responders expands nationwide VIDEO: A Marin County woman who provides four-legged emotional support for first responders has expanded her nonprofit across the country. When Kerith the golden retriever and her companions come to visit a fire station they bring smiles. Just ask Kerith's human, Heidi Carman. "Kerith lives for this," said Carman. "She's so excited when she sees her firefighter and first responder friends in general." The feeling's mutual for Capt. Mike Lewis and his colleagues at San Rafael Fire Station 51. "It definitely lights up our day as well," Lewis said. "I really feel like we're changing lives and making their mental health a little bit better each visit," added Carman. When we first met Carman and Kerith, Carman had just started First Responder Therapy Dogs in San Rafael. KPIX-TV CBS 5 SAN FRANCISCO Tennessee fire department creating new museum dedicated to its history years after SUV crash took out original location VIDEO: Soon you will be able to learn more about the history of the Knoxville Fire Department. That's because the department is working on creating a museum that will feature vintage items and artifacts. Now that the Knoxville Fire Department headquarters has moved to North Knoxville, Mark Wilbanks, the assistant fire chief, has been quietly working on creating a new KFD museum. "We're kind of changing the lobby into our newest fire museum for the fire department," said Wilbanks. "Our goal is to slowly over time transform this into a public space where folks can come in during the week." The Knoxville Fire Department Museum was previously located in downtown Knoxville at the old KFD headquarters. Back in 2022, a drunken driver crashed into it. And now, the department is working on opening a new one. WBIR-TV NBC 10 KNOXVILLE PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
