Alaska crews tackling Pilot Point wildfire from the air and on land Smokejumpers from the Alaska Fire Service and Bureau of Land Management are responding to an approximately 250-acre wildfire near the village of Pilot Point in Southwest Alaska. The blaze appears to have started in the local dump and spread from there, according to Alaska Division of Forestry Public Information Officer Tim Mowry. Smokejumpers left early Monday afternoon for the scene about 2 and 1/2 miles north of the village on the Alaska Peninsula, he said. By the time the 12 crew members arrived from Fairbanks about two hours later, the fire had grown from 1 acre to about 250. "It was a fire that evidently started in the dump and escaped out of the dump into the grass," Mowry said. Local residents tried to put it out, but were unsuccessful and called the Division of Forestry, he said. The fire has been moving away from Pilot Point, Mowry said, pushed west by southeast winds. At this point, no structures are immediately threatened. KTUU-TV NBC 2 ANCHORAGE PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

Massive fire damages Tennessee apartment complex; 18 units impacted, residents displaced VIDEO: A massive fire damaged a South Nashville apartment complex Monday night, displacing residents and impacting at least 18 units. Emergency crews were called to the Brentwood Oaks Apartments around 8:15 p.m. before firefighters called for additional personnel to help manage the scene. The fire destroyed the entire third floor of the building and most of the second floor. The American Red Cross was called to help assist residents. The initial hydrants firefighters used did not provide enough pressure to battle the flames and water had to be drawn from the bottom of the hill at the complex. Gas to the building was cut off around 10 p.m. and NES also turned off power. The apartment complex is located near Old Hickory Boulevard and Nipper's Corner. One viewer told News 2 smoke and flames could be seen from several miles away. WKRN-TV ABC 2 NASHVILLE Connecticut fire department marks trails to help lost, injured hikers As a way to help with emergencies on town trails, the Fire Department has started on a trail-marking project. Firefighter Christopher Fusco has been spearheading the project for over four years and first implemented it at Crescent Lake with the help of Firefighter Ryan Pulver. The markers are placed about every hundred feet. All trails at Crescent Lake are marked and there are two large information signs — one in the parking lot — that give a brief explanation of the signs. The signs also have a QR code that links to a town website with a map of the trails, a more in-depth explanation of the trail markers and a list of hiking safety tips. "If someone gets lost or injured and they are near one of the signs or they remember the closest sign they saw last, they call 911, they tell us what number they are near and we have our corresponding map and we'll be able to get to them as quickly as possible," Fusco said. MY RECORD JOURNAL - METERED SITE Long hours, low pay, forced overtime; Is South Carolina EMS ‘struggling to tread water'? In just eight days in January, an EMT and a paramedic with Beaufort County EMS each racked up more than 140 hours doing a job that required quick thinking and reactions at any time of day or night, from rushing to transport trauma patients to the hospital to responding to life-threatening medical emergencies. Three times, their initial, 24-hour shifts ended. And three times, rather than clock out, they started another. These extended 48-hour shifts are the norm rather than the exception in Beaufort County, budget documents and schedules reviewed by The Island Packet and Beaufort Gazette show. The newspapers' analysis reveals the county's EMS department has blown through its overtime budget repeatedly in recent years, overspending by millions of dollars while potentially compromising worker and patient safety, employees and experts warn. THE ISLAND PACKET Actor Steve Buscemi, former New York firefighter, to host 9/11 tribute at National Memorial Day Concert The annual National Memorial Day Concert airs this Sunday at 8 p.m. on PBS. It will include a 20th anniversary remembrance of 9/11 presented by Steve Buscemi. "I went to D.C. almost 20 years ago the year after 9/11; I was asked to do the 9/11 tribute then because they knew I'm a former firefighter with Engine 55 in Manhattan," Buscemi said. "Here we are 20 years later. I'm actually not coming to D.C. I've pretaped my tribute at Ground Zero in front of the Freedom Tower and 9/11 museum, so I'm very honored." He'll never forget the heartbreak of watching the Twin Towers fall. "It was awful," Buscemi said. "Knowing how many people work there and how many people that were lost in the buildings, that was so overwhelming. It was really hard to comprehend. It wasn't until I started hearing the numbers of firefighters that were missing that it hit home for me, because now I knew that I would know people who were lost."
