| North Tongass VFD says Malaspina fire extinguished quickly A fire broke out on the decommissioned state ferry Malaspina in Ward Cove on Tuesday night. North Tongass Volunteer Fire Department Chief Jerry Kiffer says the fire was reported at about 7:30 p.m., and when firefighters arrived, there were no visible flames or smoke. "We made contact with the owner of the vessel. He indicated there was a fire on deck one that had a storage area that had toiletries and cleaning supplies. It was located in an area that was fairly remote from the cabins and was confined just to that particular room." Kiffer says the fire had been quickly contained by those onboard. The Malaspina is being used as a bunkhouse for workers in Ward Cove. Kiffer says when the fire was discovered by crew, they attempted to put it out with hand-held fire extinguishers but were unsuccessful. They then used a hose from one of the Malaspina's fire stations to tamp down the fire.

| Hazardous truck fire that caused I-15 shutdown in California 'first' in the U.S., CalTrans says VIDEO: The truck fire that caused the days-long shutdown of the I-15 was the first of its kind in the nation, according to highway agency CalTrans, which led to an unprecedented response for removal of hazardous materials. July 26, California Highway Patrol officials said a tanker carrying "lithium iron" caught fire north of Baker on I-15, leading to a virtual shutdown of the freeway for almost two days. Drivers sought a detour with a 50-mile backup on I-40. The lithium iron shipment was headed to a solar farm in Wisconsin, according to CHP. Officers tell FOX5, they were well-equipped to manage a fire involving the more commonly-used "lithium ion," but needed assistance from Emergency Management and hazardous materials experts once the cause of the blaze was identified. KVVU-TV FOX 5 HENDERSON Iowa fire department set to receive award from U.S. Department of Defense VIDEO: In late August, the Council Bluffs Fire Department will be recognized in Washington at the Pentagon for their support of National Guard and Army Reserve members. The award is the highest U.S. government honor for employers supporting current and former service members. The Council Bluffs Fire Department is one of 15 recipients of the 2024 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award, being selected from over 17,000 nominations from employers across all 50 states. Firefighter Anthony Wojtalewicz, who also serves as a First Sergeant in the U.S. Army Reserve, led the effort by nominating the Council Bluffs Fire Department for the 2024 Freedom Award. "I'm excited for the Council Bluffs Fire Department to have representation in the Pentagon. Even myself, after being in the service for 18 years, I've never seen the Pentagon," Wojtalewicz said. KETV ABC 7 OMAHA TikTok candy melting trend sends Pennsylvania boy to hospital When a 9-year-old Fayette County boy attempted to follow a TikTok trend, creating what is known as a Jolly Rancher Grape, he tripped while carrying a bowl of molten candy liquid and suffered severe burns. "He tripped, and that's when the boiling hot candy coated his whole hand and his four fingers except his thumb," his mother, Christina Blackstone, said of her son, Caidan. The viral trend started a few years ago on the social media platform. It's recently seen a resurgence. TikTokers can be seen melting Jolly Rancher candies in a bowl by microwaving them. Then, they dip grapes into the liquid using toothpicks before letting the new candy harden. Since June, the Allegheny Health Network's West Penn Burn Center in Bloomfield has seen four patients with injuries from the trend, according to Dr. Ariel Aballay, director of the center.
