| No foul play suspected in Dog Sled Drive fire near Talkeetna During the Montana Creek Fire that began in late June, one person died in a separate structure fire on July 2nd. Both fires had the same origin site on Dog Sled Drive. Theories abound, but Alaska Department of Public Safety Communications Director Austin McDaniel says there is no foul play suspected in the death. The State Medical Examiner's Office has not yet completed the autopsy report, though it did confirm the victim is 54-year-old Talkeetna resident Gordon Chalkley. The origin of the structure fire is confirmed to be unrelated to the wildfire. However, the cause remains under investigation by the State Fire Marshal's Office. The structure was a small cabin with no power or water. Multiple people were living on the property at the time of both the wildfire and the structure fire. KTNA-FM 88.9 TALKEETNA High fire danger and burn permit suspension remains in Tok area Burn permits for the Tok area are suspended due to high temperatures, low humidity and the potential for large scale fire growth. DOF's Tok Area suspended burn permits on Sunday, August 4 due to very-high fire danger. The suspensions will remain in place until conditions change. Burning of debris piles, lawns, or utilizing a burn barrel is prohibited. Please note that cooking and warming types fires are still allowed but extreme caution must be used due to high wildfire potential should an ember escape or a fire be left unattended or not completely put out. Very-high fire danger levels mean outdoor burning is dangerous and fires will start easily from all causes. New fires will spread rapidly with increasing intensity. Fires in light or dead fuels will quickly demonstrate high intensity characteristics. ALASKA WILDLAND FIRE INFORMATION PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| Caught on Camera: Equipment stolen from fire department in Washington VIDEO: A fire department in Pierce County is now missing tens of thousands of dollars' worth of gear after it was stolen in the middle of the night last week. And whoever did it may be connected to another crime that same night, just a few miles away. More than $30,000 worth of fire gear and equipment was stolen from the Key Peninsula Fire Department last Thursday. Security video shows a silver truck with two people inside, pulling up behind the fire station in Key Center just after midnight. Thieves broke into fire utility vehicles and a water rescue vehicle. Assistant Chief Chris Beswick told KIRO 7 they stole fire gear, including uniforms, five high-end radios valued up to $8,000 apiece, and four drysuits used for water rescues. Beswick says the thefts come at a steep cost – for the small department and the community. KIRO-TV CBS 7 SEATTLE Firefighters union in Texas backs mental health rescue plan VIDEO: Austin firefighters, at a minimum, put in a 53-hour work week, 24 hours on, 48 hours off. Because of staffing issues, answering the growing number of calls requires an increasing rate of overtime. It's a crisis, according to Bob Nicks of the Austin Firefighters Association, but it's not about compensation. "Yeah, they're getting paid, but it's taking a toll rather than the overtime. We need more time off. We need more time between shifts or more time, or we're not working extra duty, so we can think about these experiences, reconnect with our families, and go back to work rested and ready to go again. And that's really the crux of the problem," said Nicks. Austin firefighters, at a minimum, put in a 53-hour work week, 24 hours on, 48 hours off. Because of staffing issues, answering the growing number of calls requires an increasing rate of overtime. KTBC-TV FOX 7 AUSTIN Located in North Carolina, one of the country's first all-electric fire stations will use no outside energy sources Charlotte, N.C.'s new Fire Station #30 will be one of the country's first all-electric fire stations, using no outside energy sources other than diesel fuel for one or two of the fire trucks. Multiple energy sources will power the station, including solar roof panels and geothermal wells. The two-story building features three truck bays, two fire poles, dispatch area, contamination room, and gear storage. The $16.4 million, 14,000 sf station will be completed next fall. It will replace the original Station #30, a 1950's-era residential home that was converted to a fire station in 1991. The new two-story building includes a fitness area with locker rooms, a kitchen and dining facility, a day room lounge, and offices for the captain and battalion chief. The second floor houses sleeping quarters and additional lockers and restrooms. BUILDING DESIGN+CONSTRUCTION 'Burned' documentary sparks awareness about firefighting gear awash in carcinogenic water repellent chemicals VIDEO: Retired Fire Capt. Richard Birt is trying to spread the word about a new documentary entitled "Burned: Protecting the Protectors" by Ethereal Films. In the past Birt has visited fire departments in Ventura County and along the coast giving talks about fire safety around batteries and solar panels found in house fires. Now he is trying to let firefighters everywhere know carcinogens have been found in protective gear. Chemicals called PFAS, short for polyfluoroalkyl, are the issue. Oscar nominated actor Mark Ruffalo, who stars in the film "Dark Waters" about cancer exposure due to chemicals, gives his final thoughts in "Burned" and urges firefighters to take action. "Your protective wear is also awash in these forever chemicals, both on the outside and the inside," said Ruffalo. KEYT-TV ABC 3 SANTA BARBARA Maps show Tropical Storm Debby's path and forecast VIDEO: Tropical Storm Debby was moving slowly early Tuesday, bringing torrential downpours across parts of southeastern Georgia and coastal South Carolina, the National Hurricane Center said. Debby first hit land Monday morning as a Category 1 hurricane over Florida's Big Bend coast. As of 8 a.m. EDT Tuesday, Debby's center was some 30 miles southwest of Savannah, Georgia and 105 miles southwest of Charleston, South Carolina and was moving northeast at 9 mph, with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph, the National Hurricane Center said. CBS News senior weather and climate producer David Parkinson said Debby, which has already "slowed to a near crawl," will slow even more as the day goes on. "Debby is expected to produce potentially historic rainfall totals of 10 to 20 inches, with maximum amounts of 25 inches." CBS NEWS PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
