| New kind of emergency service called 'mental health first responders' coming to Anchorage Starting in 2021, a new kind of emergency service will be coming to Anchorage. Anchorage's recently-passed 2021 operating budget includes funding for a Mobile Crisis Team, dubbed "mental health first responders" by its advocates. The idea according to Assembly Member Meg Zaletel, one of the Assembly members who pushed for the team's creation, is to approach mental health emergencies from a new angle. "Instead of a police officer, in an instance of crisis that seems more behavioral health-related, we send a paramedic and a behavioral health clinician," she said. That pair would respond to those emergencies and address any immediate medical problems while also employing de-escalation tactics. Next, the idea is to connect people with the appropriate services.

| 6-Alarm Fire Contained at California Apartment Building Near University Campus VIDEO: Firefighters battled a six-alarm fire Saturday evening at an apartment building under construction near the University of California campus. The blaze was reported shortly before 6 p.m. and was located in an apartment building under construction and believed to be unoccupied in the 2000 block of University Avenue, two blocks west of the Cal campus. Originally designated as a two-alarm blaze, Berkeley firefighters eventually upgraded the incident to a six-alarm fire, receiving mutual aid from departments in neighboring Oakland, Piedmont, Emeryville, Albany and El Cerrito. The Alameda County Fire Department also assisted. "We can handle two-alarms, so that puts all of our 7 engines, 2 truck companies, 2 ambulance companies and command staff to work," said Berkeley Fire Department Assistant Chief Keith May. "But because of the size of it, and the building and the exposures, we had to call in for additional resources." KPIX-TV CBS 5 SAN FRANCISCO Police: DC Firefighter Shot While Tending to Shooting Victim Gunfire struck a D.C. firefighter who was tending to a shooting victim in Southwest Washington Sunday night, police say. A man was shot about 4:20 p.m. in the parking lot of the 7-Eleven at the corner of MLK Avenue and South Capitol Street SW, police said. As firefighters and police responded to the shooting, gunfire erupted across the street in the 3800 block of Halley Terrace SE. A bullet struck a D.C. firefighter EMT who was helping the injured man, police said. A woman standing at the scene was also shot in the hand, according to police. The firefighter suffered a graze wound to his leg, News4's Darcy Spencer reports. He was later released from the hospital and is in good spirits, fire officials said. No one else was found injured at the Halley Terrace shooting, police said. John Donnelly, acting chief for D.C. Fire and EMS, said the team of firefighters who responded were shaken up during the shooting, and the fire truck shielded some of them from getting hurt. Fire officials say a fire truck was riddled with bullet holes.

WABC-TV ABC 7 NEW YORK Former '05 Bronco's Football Player Finds Dream Job As Denver Firefighter After playing under the lights at Mile High Stadium, a former Denver tight end has chosen to trade in his NFL helmet for a Denver Fire helmet. Former Bronco Wesley Duke is now one of Denver Fire Department's newest and most energetic firefighters. Duke, who played for the Broncos in 2005, said the decision to become a firefighter was fueled by commonalities between athletics and firefighting, and a desire to give back to the community that supported his career in the NFL. "I've done a lot of good jobs. This is my third professional career, and by far the best," Duke told CBS4's Dillon Thomas. After leaving professional football, Duke worked as an over-the-road truck driver. He got married and had three children in that time. Duke said truck diving paid well, but wasn't as exciting and potentially fulfilling as working a servant to his community. KCNC-TV CBS 4 DENVER PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
