| Juneau: Capital City Fire Rescue Chief expects to see changes Capital City Fire Rescue has adapted to the new responsibilities brought on by COVID-19. They have 40 employees currently working at the Juneau International Airport to handle COVID-19 testing. The department has also started a mobile integrated community health program. Chief Rich Etheridge, in a speech to the Greater Juneau Chamber of Commerce, said they hope to reduce the use of ambulances and the emergency room and also fill other service gaps in the community. The department also offers in-home testing for COVID-19 and runs a testing site at the Fire Training Center. Etheridge said the sleep off program is handling 400 people each month. KINY RADIO With Arctic Thunder 2020 canceled, Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson puts on small show for first responders This weekend was supposed to be a big one for Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, with more than 100,000 people coming onto the military installation to attend Arctic Thunder, a two-day air show and open house held every other year. But with concerns over COVID-19, the event was canceled last month. "In July of 2020 we were going to do our Arctic Thunder open house," said Lt. Col. Tony LoMedico, an AWACS mission crew commander and Arctic Thunder project officer. "It got canceled due to the pandemic so we pivoted, and we still wanted to meet our two main goals, and that was to thank the community as well as to support recruiting and retention." Instead of the big air show, JBER invited the public to nominate "COVID Heroes," first responders and essential workers, who would attend a much smaller gathering.

| Officials investigate after 21 sailors, civilians hospitalized in San Diego naval ship explosion More than a dozen sailors and several civilians have been hospitalized following an explosion on a Navy ship in San Diego on Sunday, officials said. A fire broke out aboard the USS Bonhomme Richard sometime around 8:30 a.m. local time, said officials with the Naval Surface Forces. The blaze escalated to a three-alarm fire, according to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department, which assisted in battling the fire along with base and shipboard firefighting teams. Seventeen sailors, as well as four civilians, are being treated at a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Mike Raney, a spokesman for the Naval Surface Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet, confirmed to ABC News Sunday afternoon. Several of the injuries were said to be serious while others were from smoke inhalation, officials said. ABC NEWS Ohio EMS crews win PTSD coverage, $3.7M in back pay after long battle with city A fight for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder coverage years in the making has ended with a win for Cleveland paramedics, EMTs and dispatchers. A union contract for Cleveland EMS just passed, including about $3.7 million in back pay for employees and mental health language, addressing PTSD. CARE has been negotiating their contract since March of 2016. CARE Union president Paul Melhuish credits continued coverage of the issue from 19 Investigates with helping them achieve the new mental health and PTSD policy. In one of our stories, we profiled paramedics struggling with PTSD and mental health. Melhuish said Cleveland EMS may be among the first in the nation to have an outlined policy regarding mental health coverage specific to PTSD in their contract with the city. It is called "mental health trauma" in the contract. WOIO-TV CBS 19 CLEVELAND This New COVID-19 Tracker Can Help You Better Understand Your Local Risk There are many statistics available regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, although they aren't necessarily well coordinated at the national level. With so many numbers being available, it can be difficult to understand what they mean, how they work together, and how to apply them. However, experts say a more unified, national approach is essential in getting the pandemic under control. An organization at Harvard University called Harvard Global Health Institute (HGHI) is attempting to solve this situation. On July 1, the institute released a set of tools, including an online risk-assessment map. This map makes it simpler to make apples-to-apples comparisons between local communities and visualize your actual risk level. According to Perry N. Halkitis, PhD, MS, MPH, dean of the Rutgers School of Public Health, "those countries who have been most effective in containing the virus have had unified approaches." HEALTHLINE Investigation underway after Texas fire truck crashes into home San Antonio firefighters handled a crash of their own on Sunday. One of the department's fire trucks rolled down the street with no one inside and firefighters chased it down in hot pursuit. The incident happened on Stafford Street near Fire Station 5. A fire official said they'd parked the truck at New Braunfels and Stafford when the truck started rolling down Stafford. The truck rolled a whole block, crashing into a car and a telephone pole, and then kept going before it crashed into a fence and hit a house on the corner of Benton and Stafford. A fire official said SAFD is now investigating to find out what caused the truck to roll away. We've reached out to the fire department for more details and we'll bring more updates as they become available. KSAT-TV ABC 12 SAN ANTONIO Colorado Firefighters Help Wildlife Officers Lower 350 Pound Bear From Tree VIDEO: Wildlife officers and firefighters managed to come up with a solution after a bear fell asleep in a tree after being tranquilized. Colorado Parks and Wildlife first responded to a home on Alameda Parkway and Bear Creek Road at 9 a.m. on Saturday for a call about a bear in a tree. Twelve hours later, the 350 lb. bear moved down the tree enough for officers to tranquilize it. That's when the hard work started. "One wildlife officer and one from West Metro Fire's technical rescue team climbed up the tree and put a harness around the bear, then built a rope system to safely lower it down," CPW said. Officers say by looking at the bear's teeth, they believe he is 15 years old. KCNC-TV CBS 4 DENVER PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
