| Building at center of Eielson Street fire 'a total loss,' Fairbanks fire chief says VIDEO: A structure fire at an abandoned house on Eielson Street in Fairbanks led occupants of a neighboring home to evacuate Saturday morning. "There weren't any injuries or casualties, but the one building was a total loss, and the secondary building did sustain some fire damage from that initial fire," Fairbanks Fire Department Fire Chief Andrew Coccaro said. The 911 call came in just after 8:30 a.m. Saturday, and Fairbanks, University and Fort Wainwright fire departments responded to the blaze. "We had crews en route prior to that because they saw the smoke from the station," Coccaro said. That smoke was originating from the Eielson Street structure, which also caught fire last year and has since been unoccupied. "The initial EMS (emergency services) crew on the ambulance woke up the people on the B-side building that actually started to catch on fire and got them out safely," Cocarro said. KTVF-TV NBC 11 FAIRBANKS City of Anchorage uses federal funds to tear down abandoned houses that pose safety, fire risks VIDEO: The Municipality of Anchorage has begun tearing down multiple vacant and abandoned homes across the city. The work by the municipality is funded by a $500,000 federal American Rescue Plan Act grant that was allocated by the Anchorage Assembly for the project. The money will cover the demolition of 10 homes, according to Kenny Friendly, Public Involvement Coordinator for the city's Public Works Department. On Tuesday, the third home on the list — a property in Fairview — was taken down. "It definitely won't be missed," said Lydia Stough, a resident who lives next door to the house on Ingra Street. The city may be paying for the demolition, but officials insist it's still a bargain considering the public resources involved with repeated calls to problem properties. Friendly said a typical response could involve code enforcement officers, police and sometimes fire department employees. KTUU-TV NBC/CBS 5 ANCHORAGE PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| First responders in one Kansas city have higher resuscitation success rate than national average VIDEO: David Baston was working at The Jayhawk Club in Lawrence, Kansas, when he began to feel ill on Feb. 28. A co-worker hopped in a car with him, and the two headed for Lawrence Memorial Hospital (LMH). However, Baston said he had a gut feeling he needed medical assistance immediately, so they veered off the path to the hospital and pulled into Fire Station No. 5 in central Lawrence. "I came in this door right here and told the receptionist that I think I was having a heart attack," Baston said. Baston said he took a seat. "I had no idea I was going to die right there in that chair there," he said. Firefighter paramedic Jacob Gardner was working on Feb. 28. He said it was a typical day; the crew was cooking breakfast together and about to eat when someone alerted them of a cardiac arrest in the lobby. KSHB-TV NBC 41 KANSAS CITY Security firm CEO Robert Tucker named new commissioner of FDNY VIDEO: Mayor Eric Adams on Monday appointed Robert S. Tucker, the head of a private security firm, to head the city's fire department. Tucker, 54, takes over from Laura Kavanagh, the first woman to serve as the city's fire commissioner. "I can think of no higher calling than serving as a fire commissioner of New York," Tucker, the chairman and CEO of security firm T&M USA, said at a news conference. "This is truly a dream come true." Like Kavanagh, who stepped down after two years as fire commissioner, Tucker has never worked as a firefighter. Tucker has served on the board of directors of the FDNY Foundation, a nonprofit that raises money for the fire department. As a teenager, he interned in the department's Manhattan communications office, where he said became "obsessed" with mapping the locations of the borough's multiple-alarm fires. WNBC-TV NBC 4 NEW YORK CITY The fire department you've never heard of: Inside the Missouri State Fair Fire Department More than 300,000 people are expected to descend on Sedalia, a town of about 22,000 people, in the coming days for the Missouri State Fair. Nearly a thousand people work at the fair — making delicious fried treats, operating carnival rides, running livestock shows and more. So, what happens if something goes wrong? That responsibility falls on the State Fair Volunteer Fire Department, an organization that is now in its 62nd year of service and provides fire response, emergency medical services and training opportunities for the volunteers that staff the department. Larry Eggen, the spokesperson for the fire department, has been volunteering for nearly 30 years. He said the department started in the Missouri Beef House in the 1960s providing fire education and information to fairgoers. KBIA-FM 91.3 COLUMBIA Firefighters in Texas screen for cancer with blood draw; new technology makes early detection easy VIDEO: At a lab in the Medical District of Dallas, Cancer Check Labs is behind a big project aiming to detect cancer early in firefighters. Cancer is the number one cause of death in firefighters. Two out of three will be diagnosed, which is more than three times the general population's cancer rate. "The key to catching cancer is to catch it early," said Sumit Rai, founder and CEO of Cancer Check Labs. With one blood draw, Rai said, the breakthrough technology can identify more than 200 types and subtypes of solid tumors. "All tumors are known to shed in order to spread," said Rai. "We are able to extract these whole tumor cells intact such that we can put them on the glass slide. So that way, we can grab the tissue without actually having to go in for a surgical biopsy."
