| Vehicle rescued from Fairbanks train tracks A car became stuck on the railroad crossing at Trainor Gate Road on Wednesday after a motor vehicle accident, according to the Fairbanks Firefighters Union. The Fairbanks Fire Department responded to the scene and found the vehicle had become stuck with its tires parallel to the ruts of the train tracks, preventing it from turning to drive off the railroad crossing. Officers first called in the situation and requested a stoppage of any inbound trains before hauling the car safely off the tracks. "The potential for a train derailment/collision is very real in Fairbanks with several highway crossings across the borough," said the Fairbanks Firefighters Union. "The dangers of a catastrophic environmental event or a fatal collision cannot be overstated." KTVF-TV NBC 11 FAIRBANKS PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| VIDEO: Dozens without a home after hot inferno burns at Northeast DC apartment building Nearly two dozen residents in D.C.'s Eckington neighborhood are without a home after a massive fire engulfed an apartment building in Northeast overnight Monday, authorities said. The flames also damaged nearby homes. Firefighters were called to an apartment fire in the 300 block of Seaton Place NE just after midnight, D.C. Fire and EMS said. When fire crews arrived, heavy orange flames were shooting from the roof and both levels of the building, firefighters said. Those strong flames traveled from the building across an alley about 10 feet away to neighboring row homes. Thern Hill-El who lives next door to the building took cellphone video of the fire from his window. The video captures the moments the fire jumped from the alley to a car. WRC-TV NBC 4 WASHINGTON, D.C. Fire Department Instructors Conference returns to Indianapolis More than 35,000 firefighters from across the world will meet in Indianapolis this week for an almost century-old international conference. The 97th annual Fire Department Instructors Conference International has returned to Indianapolis for the 29th year in a row, and will feature more than 250 speakers and classes. Chief David Rhodes with the FDIC joined News 8 on Sunday to share more about the conference. "The show continues to grow, we couldn't do it without the greatest support from all the local fire departments, the city fire department, the township, it's really grown into a huge partnership," he said. "It takes hundreds of people to pull this off." According to their website, "The FDIC experience is more than your traditional trade show, it's about the learning and sharing with your peers formally and informally through hallway conversations, developing life-long friendships, and recharging your passion for the industry." WISH-TV CW 8 INDIANAPOLIS Historic Outlet building in Rhode Island was destroyed in spectacular 1986 fire VIDEOS/PHOTOS: The closed Outlet store building was just steps away from WJAR's Broadcast House in downtown Providence. So, on Oct. 16, 1986, Frank Coletta and Art Lake were among the first to smell smoke. The Outlet was on fire, and WJAR had a front-row seat. "Firefighters shown here on the Broadcast House roof. There you can see the explosion throwing firefighters to the deck of Broadcast House," Frank reported. Our "Spy in The Sky" traffic reporter Tony DiBiasio flew over the inferno. "Flames up about 300 or 400 feet," he said. "Smoke up about 1,500 feet." NBC 10's Dyana Koelsch reported live from the station's roof. "Now police are on the scene, and they have already started their investigation into some possible causes," Koelsch reported. "It may be arson involved here. As one fire official put it, mice did not start this blaze."
