| Troopers: Teen uninjured after vehicle hydroplanes, overturns on South Tongass Hwy. According to a Trooper dispatch, on Friday at about 3 p.m., the Alaska State Troopers and South Tongass Fire Department responded to a single-vehicle rollover near mile 3 of the South Tongass Highway. Investigation revealed that Rileigh Ballesteros, age 17 of Ketchikan, was operating a 2003 Chevy Tracker heading southbound on South Tongass Highway. She moved over as a precaution to go around a vehicle parked off the roadway with its hazard lights on. An oncoming vehicle was observed on a curve and Ballesteros abruptly moved back into her lane. Due to heavy ongoing rain, the vehicle hydroplaned and slid off the roadway and down an embankment. The vehicle rolled over and came to rest against the side of a residence. Both were reportedly wearing seatbelts with the passenger reporting minor scrapes and abrasions on his arms. Ballesteros was transported by family to the Ketchikan Hospital as a precaution. The vehicle was totaled and towed by a local towing company. KINY-AM 800 PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| Need for ninth ambulance ‘urgent,' Wisconsin fire department says The Madison Fire Department characterized the city's need for another ambulance as "urgent" Monday. "We've asked for the last several budget cycles for an additional ambulance," Chief Steve Davis told 27 News Monday evening. In a post on the fire chief's blog, the Madison Fire Department lays out why city alders should approve the purchase of a ninth ambulance. The new vehicle's home would be Fire Station 14 on Madison's far southeast side near Femrite Drive. Ambulances can reach most addresses in the city in under nine minutes the vast majority of the time. However, around Fire Station 14, the chance of an ambulance arriving that quickly is almost 50/50. "When you're confronting a health crisis like a traumatic injury, stroke or heart attack, this statistic is simply unacceptable," the post says. WKOW-TV ABC 27 MADISON Growth of high rise buildings creating obstacles for first responders in Florida In the heart of bustling Fort Lauderdale, first responders face a host of challenges. One of their biggest obstacles: high-rises. Many new luxury buildings in the city have layered security, and multiple entrances and elevators. Getting access to a patient, or the source of a fire, can take precious minutes. According to the American Heart Association, brain death can begin 4 to 6 minutes after someone experiences cardiac arrest, which is why fire departments generally work to have a 6-minute arrival time. Records show Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue has maintained a consistent arrival time from dispatch to scene since 2015, despite the growing number of high-rises downtown. What records don't show is how long it takes first responders to get to the patient once they've arrived at the scene. WPLG-TV ABC 10 MIAMI Navy SEAL rejected from FDNY gets OK to apply after law change Gov. Andrew Cuomo OK'd legislation allowing Navy SEAL Shaun Donovan to join the city's Fire Department as part of a package of bills he signed Monday commemorating the 100th anniversary of Veterans Day. Donovan was originally rejected from the FDNY because he missed the application deadline by nearly seven months due to his deployment. The new law will allow Donovan and others passed over to become smoke eaters by extending the qualifying period for all active military members seeking public employment in New York City by a year. Other vet friendly bills that Cuomo signed include one creating a study of veteran homeless across the state and another that extends a program that allows vets who did not complete high school to complete their courses and earn diplomas. NEW YORK POST Texas fire crews must beat two foes even before blazes: Traffic and distance Seconds slipped away as firefighter Mike Abernethy eagerly waited to enter the intersection of Research Boulevard and Burnet Road near Fire Station No. 8 in North Austin. Vehicles blazed by that Thursday afternoon as traffic began to build at the crossroad. Abernethy could only watch and wait in frustration as minutes piled up in their response time. "If we turn on our sirens, it would push traffic into the intersection where they could be hit by oncoming traffic," Abernethy said. "We can't do that. We should be at the emergency within four minutes, but, on a busy day, we could be at this light for at least two minutes." For anyone waiting for firefighters to respond to their emergency, seconds beyond eight minutes can truly be the difference between life or death, according to Austin Fire Division Chief Palmer Buck. AUSTIN AMERICAN-STATESMAN Project in Pennsylvania launched to provide first responders with vital info Something so simple as a bright red sticky square decal stuck on a plastic bag and taped on the inside of a refrigerator door could save lives. As high-tech emergency remedies ranging from ultra-sophisticated hospital equipment to wearable alarm systems proliferate, a basic yet tangible alert program has been launched by women at an Oil City church. It is called the Vial of L.I.F.E. (Lifesaving Information For Emergencies) and consists of a small plastic bag, a single sheet of paper and a bright red square of adhesive paper. It is designed to provide vital lifesaving information to emergency responders, family members and others who are trying to assist an adult or child in danger. The grab-and-go bag has a sticker on the outside and a medical information form inside. The packet is then stuck on the inside of your refrigerator door and a matching red Vial of L.I.F.E. sticker is placed on your front door. THE DERRICK NEWS HERALD PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
