| Several agencies seek water solutions for Tuluksak after water treatment plant destroyed by fire Multiple agencies, from village entities to the federal government, are looking at how to get water to Tuluksak after a water treatment plant house in a washeteria was destroyed by a fire in mid-January. The washeteria that burned down was one of the primary sources of water for the village, according to community officials. Several ideas are being looked at, according to a release from the state. Ideas include buying and bringing a prefabricated treatment building to the Western Alaska town, bringing in a temporary water plant from Bethel or filtering non-drinkable water at a new temporary laundry facility. "Living without a washeteria is certainly a hardship. Thankfully, there is potable water in the community for drinking and cooking. Many government and non-government sources have been supplying the community since the loss of the washeteria," said Paul Nelson, director of the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management.

| Firefighters battle 11-alarm recycling plant fire in New Jersey VIDEO: A huge fire broke out overnight inside a recycling plant in New Jersey. The 11-alarm fire is contained but is still not under control at Atlantic Fiber Company that started just after midnight Saturday. Firefighters from over 20 departments including Rutherford, Paterson, Lodi and Wallington responded to the fire on the brutally cold night. Officials say it may take days till the fire is out, but the goal is to extinguish it before the impending winter storm. The massive structure, which is filled with combustible materials such as recycling paper and cardboard, has largely collapsed onto itself. The facility recycles single-steam consumer recyclables, mainly paper - 30,000 to 40,000 tons a month, according to the company. There are no signs of the blaze slowing after officials say several explosions from inside could be heard and the building collapsed into itself.

He loved playing with toy cars and trucks. The St. Anne man, who recently had his Mack semi-tractor and trailer wrapped to pay tribute to firefighters, is now stepping into a world he never could have imagined. Mercier, who will soon turn the age of 20, was contacted by die cast toy manufacturer First Gear, Inc. The Peosta, Iowa-based company is an officially licensed custom die cast manufacturer of metal replica cars, trucks and construction equipment. It will be transforming his unique ride into a collectible die cast model. The die cast will be on a 1/64 scale of his truck, meaning is will be only several inches in length. If all goes as planned, the first production of the truck will be completed by late February to early March. And that's not all. Mercier is not just taking all the cash — one of the die cast trucks would likely sell in the $100 range — and putting it into his pocket. DAILY JOURNAL - METERED SITE North Carolina company producing light technology that treats COVID-19 A Durham company is developing a new technology that will help fight COVID-19. It's what EmitBio said will potentially save millions of lives. The handheld device is inserted into the mouth aims precise wavelengths of targeted light at a spot in the back of the throat known as your oropharynx. It's turned on for five minutes, and later that same day the treatment is repeated. The light it emits interacts with the cells of the body and COVID-19. "So, the virus wants to make many copies of itself so it's doing that continuously inside the cell. And we're able to disable that property and that takes care of everything," said EmitBio Executive Chairman Neal Hunter. Hunter said the technology stops the virus from making copies of itself. The key is that you need to have mild to moderate symptoms within 72 hours for it to be most effective. WBTW-TV CBS 13 FLORENCE Vermont teen sells hand-built wooden flags, donates profits to fire departments VIDEO: Beautiful, hand-made wooden American flags to benefit local fire departments -- that's the idea behind Flags for Frontlines. Michael Jolley is a 17-year-old volunteer firefighter at Ryegate Fire Department. "I just have a passion for volunteer firefighting, I went to emergency services and criminal justice at Riverbank Career and Technical Center in Bradford where I just really found my passion in Emergency Services through that," he says. And he knows first-hand just how far a couple extra bucks go at the station. "Fire departments need a lot of things but the budgets just don't allow it. Like, fire gear for one, a lot of people don't know that fire gear costs anywhere between $2,500 to $3,000 just for a set of fire gear," Jolley explains. He spent the summer thinking about how he could help raise money for these small departments, and decided to use his woodworking background and local connections to make a difference.
