KINY-AM 800 'Suspicious' fire damages Fairbanks house A structure fire that damaged an unoccupied home on Stacia Street is under investigation. Fairbanks Fire Department responded to several 911 calls around 9:30 p.m. Saturday from neighbors reporting a house on fire at 1524 Stacia St., according to a City of Fairbanks news release. The University Fire Department and Fort Wainwright responded to provide mutual aid. The fire was contained within half an hour and fire crews remained on the scene hours later, mopping up and keeping an eye on the scene. The house on Stacia Street appeared to be vacant, with no one found inside. No injuries were reported. However, evidence at the scene indicates the fire may have been intentionally set and anyone with information is being asked to contact Deputy Fire Marshal Moira O'Bryant.

| Firefighter, resident identified in fatal Pennsylvania fire The Cumberland County Coroner's Office has released the names of the two people killed Monday morning in a fire in Monroe Township. Jerome Guise, 34, of Boiling Springs, was a firefighter with the Mount Holly Springs fire department, Coroner Charley Hall said. Guise was killed when the front porch of the home on the 1500 block of Boiling Springs Road collapsed while he was fighting the fire. Resident Jessica Diehl, 36, died inside the home during the fire. A man who lived there was severely injured and rushed to the hospital. A dog was also killed in the fire, officials say. "All the firefighters around here are volunteers. They have a very dangerous job," Pennsylvania State Police spokeswoman Trooper Megan Ammerman said at the scene. "The fire and police, we're all family. It's a very difficult time for the firefighters in the area, especially." PENNLIVE PATRIOT-NEWS FDNY firefighters won't be dispatched to potential coronavirus cases They're not the Bravest when it comes to the coronavirus. The FDNY won't dispatch its firefighters to potential coronavirus patients, leaving its paramedics and EMTs to handle them alone, The Post has learned. The department issued an order Friday temporarily relieving firefighters from responding to calls of the second highest priority for patients with fever, coughing, difficulty breathing or even those who are unconscious. A fever, cough and trouble breathing are the most common symptoms of the novel coronavirus, officially called COVID-19. "We can't believe they would put out this order during one of the biggest citywide health crises. The fact that they're abdicating all of this is just astounding," one paramedic told The Post. "You're talking about people who call themselves the Bravest." EMTs and paramedics, with their ranks already depleted, believe the order will further strain the system. NEW YORK POST Crash scene ingenuity: Massachusetts firefighters use truck to pull car apart, extricate pinned driver When the Jaws of Life don't work and a man is dying, a little ingenuity and a big engine could prove to be the best combination. West Springfield and Westfield firefighters pulled a crashed vehicle apart with a fire truck to extricate a seriously injured driver Wednesday, said West Springfield Lt. Andrew Lyne. Paramedics were worried he might not live through the episode, Lyne said. As West Springfield firefighters were called to a large blaze at the Courtyard by Mariott hotel on Riverdale Street Wednesday afternoon, one engine was sent to the report of a head-on crash on Prospect Avenue just before 3 p.m. Lyne, the commander of Engine 2, said responders found a car and a large dumpster-hauling truck had collided head-on. The impact of the crash dislodged the engine of the car, spinning it 180 degrees and pushing it into the passenger compartment — something Lyne said he has never seen in 28 years as a firefighter. THE REPUBLICAN - MASSLIVE Proposed shuffling of fire-rescue staff in Virginia concerns residents Some residents in northeast Albemarle County are concerned about a proposal to move daytime fire-rescue staff farther away from their area. As part of County Executive Jeff Richardson's proposed budget for fiscal year 2021, Albemarle County Fire Rescue would reallocate weekday, daytime fire-rescue staff from Stony Point Volunteer Fire Company and East Rivanna Volunteer Fire Company to the Crozet Volunteer Fire Department and Pantops Public Safety Station to meet system-wide response time standards and call volume. The reallocation was proposed in response to a request by the Crozet department to ACFR to provide supplemental weekday, daytime staffing. "We provided that as an option versus hiring the additional staff that's needed to staff Crozet Fire Department, mainly because we haven't really looked at that configuration since staff was put out there over 20 years ago," ACFR Chief Dan Eggleston said in an interview Wednesday. THE DAILY PROGRESS After Parkland tragedy, Florida Senate OK's panic buttons to simultaneously alert staff, first responders Florida lawmakers were on the verge of sending Gov. Ron DeSantis legislation Friday that requires panic buttons at every school, the latest security measure being implemented on campuses after the Parkland school shooting two years ago that killed 17. The measure, known as "Alyssa's Law," would establish an electronic link between schools and law enforcement — and reduce the confusion that became so apparent as a gunman roamed the grounds of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Valentine's Day 2018. The Florida Senate unanimously approved the measure, which would require schools to set up a so-called panic button system that, when activated, would simultaneously alert school staff and first responders to life-threatening campus emergencies.
