| Greater Prudhoe Bay firefighter steps up for 11-year-old boy with cancer, raises money for Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Ryan McMullan suited up for duty Sunday morning. The Greater Prudhoe Bay firefighter responded to the BP building and headed up to the building's 13th floor. It's something he repeats over and over again. McMullan takes part in the annual Firefighter Stairclimb. Each step raises money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. McMullan planned to climb all 69 flights at Seattle's Columbia Tower. A former hockey teammate at the University of Alaska Anchorage came up with the idea. "He's a member of the Seattle Fire Department and he challenged me to do it when he found out I started firefighting a year ago," said McMullan. Washington state has seen more than a dozen deaths from coronavirus. Concerns over COVID-19 canceled Sunday's event in Seattle. That's when a friend at BP suggested his building. McMullan made his journey with about 35 pounds of gear. There's an extra weight on his shoulders. KTVA-TV CBS 11 ANCHORAGE 17-year-old snowboarder dies after being caught in Hatcher Pass avalanche A 17-year-old snowboarder caught in a Hatcher Pass avalanche Monday afternoon died at a hospital, Alaska State Troopers said Tuesday. The boy, whose name was not released, was caught in a creek drainage near Mile 16 of Palmer Fishhook Road, troopers said. Rescuers were able to dig him out. Next of kin has been notified, troopers said. The Hatcher Pass Avalanche Center said Monday the area in the Talkeetna Mountains north of Anchorage received 33 inches of new snow since Saturday. The center asked skiers and snowboarders to stay away from the Mile 16 area Tuesday so avalanche forecasters can assess continuing danger. It was the third avalanche death of the season in Alaska. A 21-year-old snowmachiner, Trey N. Henning of Unalaska, died in late February after he was buried in an avalanche near the Aleutian Islands city.

| Partnership with EMS agencies could increase tissue donation in Indiana VIDEO: A new partnership hopes to increase the number of people in Indiana who can donate tissue after they die. The partnership is between Carmel Fire Department and Indiana Donor Network. The changes that this partnership brings could impact thousands of people a year. Organs cannot be donated from people who die outside of a hospital. "Historically in Indiana, those people who may die out of the hospital would never have the chance to become a tissue donor," said Logan Miller with Indiana Donor Network. By law, not everyone has to report when someone dies to the donor network. "In Indiana, the only people who are required to make a referral are hospitals. So if you pass away at a nursing home, if you pass away on hospice, if you pass away anywhere outside of a hospital, referrals are not made," Miller said. Carmel Fire Department knows the impact that a donation can have on a person's life. WISH-TV CW 8 INDIANAPOLIS Pennsylvania firefighters learn sign language to better serve public "This is - ‘Follow me, follow me, follow me.' Left, right, upstairs, basement, ‘Show me your basement.' That's a good question - ‘Where's your bedroom?' You would want to know ‘Is the baby in the bedroom?''' Cindy Hanzes, of Connellsville, demonstrated words in American Sign Language to firefighters attending a special class at the Morrell Volunteer Fire Company. Many of the words could apply to firefighters finding themselves in emergency situations involving people who are deaf or hard of hearing. The firefighters paid close attention, carefully shaping their fingers in imitation as they learned. Hanzes, a certified employment support professional for Blind and Vision Rehabilitation Services of Pittsburgh, became the teacher for this five-week class under arrangements made by Hear Fayette, a center for hearing loss assistance and community education, which operates under St. Vincent de Paul Society in Uniontown. THE HERALD-STANDARD - METERED SITE Seattle's Patient Zero Spread Coronavirus Despite Ebola-Style Lockdown; First known U.S. case offers lessons in how, how not to fight the outbreak The man who would become Patient Zero for the new coronavirus outbreak in the U.S. appeared to do everything right. He arrived Jan. 19 at an urgent-care clinic in a suburb north of Seattle with a slightly elevated temperature and a cough he'd developed soon after returning four days earlier from a visit with family in Wuhan, China. The 35-year-old had seen a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention alert about the virus and decided to get checked. He put on a mask in the waiting room. After learning about his travel, the clinic drew blood and called state and county health officials, who hustled the sample onto an overnight flight to the CDC lab in Atlanta. The patient was told to stay in isolation at home, and health officials checked on him the next morning. BLOOMBERG BUSINESSWEEK Fire lieutenant in Connecticut suspended for setting live fire in training exercise, injuring a fellow firefighter A fire lieutenant used bad judgment when he tried to make a training exercise more realistic and ended up starting a blaze that injured a fellow firefighter, Fire Chief John Oates said Monday. Lt. Doug McKeon, a 21-year department veteran, was suspended without pay for 14 days in January and February, according to a disciplinary letter released after a Freedom of Information request. "Your unblemished record and many years of positive professional service were considered in contemplating this discipline," Oates wrote in the letter to McKeon, dated Jan. 16. "However, this level of failure by a Lieutenant cannot be tolerated." The town bought property at 1718 Main St. near Fire Station No. 2 as a prospective location for a new station. Before a vacant house on the property was torn down recently, the police and fire departments used the place for training, Oates said. HARTFORD COURANT PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
