| Alaska National Guardsmen head home early after aiding in Hurricane Milton aftermath Alaska National Guardsmen returned home from Florida after helping clean up the destruction left behind from Hurricane Milton. Fifty Guardsmen were expected to deploy to the state starting late last week and over the weekend, the Department of Military and Veteran Affairs said, but after 13 guardsmen arrived, they were sent home. The mission was expected to last 10 days. The Department of Military and Veteran Affairs said the hurricane's impact was not as severe as anticipated, and the Florida National Guard decided it no longer needed so much out of state support. Eight people with the Alaska Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management are still helping with hurricane response in North Carolina, Florida and Virginia, the Department of Military and Veteran Affairs said.

WBMA-TV ABC 33/40 BIRMINGHAM In a fourth of Georgia counties, trained prison inmates may be the first to respond to fire calls VIDEO: If you call for fire services in one of 35 counties in Georgia, specially trained prison inmates may be the first to respond. Amid a historic shortage of firefighters, Georgia counties are increasingly turning to state prisons for manpower. The latest data from the National Fire Protection Association reports the lowest number of volunteer firefighters nationwide since 1991. About a fourth of all Georgia counties are now sourcing help from state prison inmates participating in the Georgia Department of Corrections' Firefighter Program. The program was established in 1963 to train incarcerated people to be firefighters while they serve their time in prison. Once they are certified, the inmates can respond to fires within the community -- outside the prison fence.
