| Unalaska Fire Department recognized for service, stresses need for volunteers The City of Unalaska honored the city's firefighters during an Unalaska City Council meeting. Mayor Vincent Tutiakoff Sr. commended the department for responding to several recent emergencies, including a fire at Eagle's View Elementary School on July 3, just before the Independence Day fireworks celebration. "The very firefighters who had spent countless hours to build and wire the fireworks display answered the call to action at the school without hesitation, prioritizing the safety of our residents while missing the display they worked so hard to build," Tutiakoff said. The firefighters worked into the early morning to extinguish the fire and then spent the next day preparing their vehicles for the Fourth of July parade. "Even after a night of service that stretched into the early morning hours of July 4, these dedicated firefighters showed up to wash fire trucks in preparation for the community parade and wowed the crowd," Tutiakoff said.

| VIDEO: Pallet yard fire in California sends up thick plumes of black smoke A large commercial fire in Rosemead sent up thick plumes of black smoke visible from throughout the San Gabriel Valley and Los Angeles. The three-alarm fire was burning on River Avenue just south of the 10 Freeway at a pallet yard where 55-gallon drums were also being consumed by flames. The exact nature of the materials on fire was not immediately known, but a hazardous materials team was responding to the scene. By around 3:30 p.m. firefighters had extinguished most of the visible flames but smoldering materials continued to emit thick clouds of smoke. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. No major injuries were reported but one firefighter was treated for heat-related illness. Local residents and people who worked in the area were astonished at the sight. KABC-TV ABC 7 LOS ANGELES County in Georgia hopes to save money and lives with refurbished ambulances VIDEO: In Gwinnett County, EMS first responders do a thorough inspection of each ambulance in their fleet every day. It's protocol before responding to an emergency call. Fire Chief Frederick Cephas said it's critical to keep his medic units in top mechanical shape, and the time has come to replace a dozen of them before they break down. "So, what we're in the midst of doing is replacing these vehicles, and instead of replacing them with a brand-new vehicle, we instead are doing what we call a remounting process, and that's taking the patient compartment and putting it on a brand-new chassis," Cephas said. The chief said a brand-new ambulance costs about $450,000. But his plan to remount the patient compartment on a new chassis instead is a savings of about $200,000 to taxpayers per unit. WANF-TV CBS 46 ATLANTA For the first time, Fort Worth firefighters get unique cancer screening VIDEO: Research indicates firefighters are at a higher risk of getting and dying from esophageal cancer. The Fort Worth Fire Department wants to get ahead of it. On Wednesday, the department began esophageal cancer testing at its training facility, which will last through the end of next week. "We've done some other cancer screenings, but the previous cancer screenings that we do do not detect the esophageal cancer, which… with our job… we're at a greater risk than the general public," said Jason Cearley, a battalion chief with the department. The Firefighter Cancer Support Network says firefighters have a 62% higher risk of getting esophageal cancer, and a 39% increased risk of dying from it than others, citing research from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. KXAS-TV NBC 5 FORT WORTH FDNY kick starts new ad campaign on the dangers of lithium-ion batteries VIDEO: The FDNY has launched a new $1 million ad campaign to raise awareness on the dangers of lithium-ion batteries. Starting soon, officials say New Yorkers will start seeing safety ads on subways, buses, and social media. Yesterday, the FDNY posted an example of one of those ads on 'X' saying, "In 2023, 133 lithium-ion batteries exploded while they weren't even charging." Since 2019, these batteries have started 733 fires, killed 29 New Yorkers and injured more than 442 others, according to the FDNY. Department officials say 55 of those injuries happened in 2024. Today, we asked Bronx residents just how effective they think these ads will actually be. "I think it will bring some awareness," said Juan Ortiz. "Now will that completely eliminate the usage. Probably not. But I think awareness helps." NEWS 12 THE BRONX PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
