| 'Kid's Day' at Bethel Fire Station meant to celebrate children and connect them to resources On Friday, the Association of Village Council Presidents hosted "Kids Day" at the Bethel Fire Station. April is Child Abuse Awareness Month. The day was meant to celebrate children, and create awareness about resources by helping them learn about organizations that might offer help. Firefighters helped set up plastic tables and games, and the tribal council provided swag to local organizations to give away. Each organization from Bethel had its own booth. The fire department handed out red vests and plastic firefighter caps, and had a mascot of a dalmatian in a fire outfit to hug and take pictures with. The state troopers gave out Rubik's Cubes, with novel colors and designs. YKHC gave out pens and whistles, and pins that said "you are not alone." Bethel Search and Rescue gave out compasses, miniature first aid kids and shiny emergency blankets. KYUK-FM 90.3 BETHEL PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| VIDEO: Large fire extinguished at historic apartment building in Iowa Part of downtown Mason City is closed off after a fire destroyed the historic Kirk Apartments on Monday. The building is located at 206 North Federal Avenue which is part of Mason City's historic district in downtown. Barricades are placed on North Federal Avenue to keep people safely at a distance. According to Mason City Fire Chief Erik Bullinger, firefighters were called to the building shortly after 1:30 p.m. Monday where the fire was contained to a lower unit apartment. Fire crews initially thought they had most of it out, but then the fire got in between two floors and began traveling throughout the building and into other units. As of 9:30 p.m. Monday, firefighters considered the fire to be "mostly out," but planned to keep two trucks pouring water onto the fire into the overnight hours. KAAL-TV ABC 6 AUSTIN Scammer posing as fire equipment inspector steals nearly 1K from Washington, D.C. bagel shop; Possible link to 6 cases along East Coast VIDEO/PHOTOS: A popular D.C. breakfast spot is sending a warning to other businesses after falling victim to a scam Saturday. Pearl's Bagels in Mount Vernon Triangle is out nearly a thousand dollars after a man claiming to be a fire equipment inspector stole from them. Oliver Cox, the owner of Pearl's Bagels, told FOX 5 the scammer knew what he was doing. It all happened pretty fast, according to Cox. It started when a man who introduced himself as Jim Stance walked into Pearl's on Saturday. "It was very elaborate. It was very conniving," Cox explained. Surveillance video shows the scammer telling the manager at the store that he needed to inspect the ANSUL system, a fire prevention tool required in restaurants. The scammer told the manager that the owner must have forgotten to tell her that he was coming, specifically using the owner's name. WTTG-TV FOX 5 WASHINGTON, D.C. Former and current fire chiefs remember 1993 tornado in Oklahoma VIDEO/PHOTOS: Thirty years ago Catoosa didn't have sirens, only had a volunteer fire department and cell phones were just starting to become a thing. That's how Catoosa Fire Chief Denus Benton remembers it. FOX23 talked to him Monday, 30 years since a supercell storm spawned a tornado that killed seven people and left a path of destruction and injuries through Tulsa and Catoosa. "It's just this distinct sound, just like a train and it's just roaring and the house is shaking and everything is moving," Chief Benton recalled. He said he was a volunteer firefighter at the time, as the city didn't have full-time firefighters. His chief at the time, Walter Sunny, also remembered the vivid details that come with witnessing a tornado. "It sounds just like everyone says," Sunny explained. "The house vibrated. I was watching things flying through the air, the trees were bending in shapes I had never seen before." KOKI-TV FOX 23 TULSA FAA investigating fires on two separate American Airlines flights The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating fires on two separate American Airlines flights, after two planes over the past week reported engine damage in North Carolina and Ohio. American Airlines Flight 2288 canceled its takeoff from Charlotte-Douglas International Airport in North Carolina last Thursday, due to a possible engine fire, the FAA told The Hill. A second plane, American Airlines Flight 1958, returned to John Glenn Columbus International Airport in Ohio on Sunday after a possible bird strike. The FAA said it would investigate both incidents. The plane that might have struck a bird, headed from Ohio to Phoenix, Arizona, was seen on fire in a cellphone video confirmed by NBC News. The video showed spurts of flames shooting out from the right side of the plane as it flew. THE HILL Students design quick fix to Ohio fire department equipment VIDEO: Who does the Toledo Fire & Rescue Department call when they need help? Two Toledo Technology Academy seniors answered their call. For years, while on the scene of an emergency, TFRD personnel stayed connected through mobile data terminals. But recently, the clips that hold the styluses to the tablets have been breaking. "These devices are used every day, all day by our crews," TFRD public information officer Pvt. Sterling Rahe said. "I can speak from experience, when that piece is missing and the stylus isn't there, it becomes very cumbersome." Instead of constantly buying replacements and waiting for shipping, TFRD reached out to TTA to see if students could come up with a solution. Seniors Drew Baumgartner and Tristin Free-Knack took on the challenge. They designed and 3D-printed a prototype replacement in less than two hours. WTOL-TV CBS 11 TOLEDO PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
