| No injuries reported as fire destroys bingo hall in Kivalina PHOTOS: A fire broke out in two buildings in Kivalina on Tuesday afternoon and prompted evacuations in the village, Northwest Arctic Borough officials said. Borough volunteer firefighters responded to a fire at the local bingo hall and a community building in Kivalina around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, borough Director of Public Safety Chris Hatch said. No injuries have been reported so far, Hatch said. "Kids and elders are being moved to the new school, where there is separate power and infrastructure," Hatch said Tuesday afternoon. The new Kisimgiugtuq School is located 7 miles inland from Kivalina and serves as an evacuation site for the village, which often has to contend with strong Bering Sea storms. Multiple Kivalina residents said the fire broke out at a bingo hall and spread to the new community building, the main gathering spot for holiday activities.

| Illinois city bands together through 7-hour soybean plant fire VIDEO: On Monday, a soybean dryer caught fire at Gibson City's IFF plant. From fearless fire crews to generous community members, all hands were on deck. Firefighters are using some heavy-duty equipment to get inside of the soybean dryer. They said it took hours to put out the flames, and on Tuesday, they were keeping a close eye on it since the facility was still smoldering. People made sure first responders had food and were staying hydrated for the seven-hour ordeal. Gibson City has seen their fair share of fires in the past couple of years. A downtown building burned down in 2022, and last year a fire tore through an apartment building on the same street. Fire Chief Bruce Kallal said they arrived at the scene just before 1 p.m., and the giant structure made the fire tough to battle. Firefighters had to use long ladders just to reach the flames. They got help from nine other departments. WCIA-TV CBS 3 CHAMPAIGN Firefighters in one California county back plans to restore net neutrality following intentional throttling during wildfire Six years ago, the Santa Clara County Fire Department was battling one of the largest wildfires ever to break out in California, the Mendocino Complex fire. With thousands of firefighters on the front line, county officials needed to coordinate fire suppression efforts at multiple points. But they ran into a major roadblock. Their wireless internet had slowed down to a crawl, making it virtually impossible to send or receive emergency communications. Verizon had throttled the internet speed to a fraction of what it was before and then refused to restore it unless the county upgraded to a more expensive data plan, after it had reached its data cap. To put an end to these practices, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is proposing a policy change that would restore national standards of net neutrality and bring back more consumer protections, reliability and security to broadband connections. PALO ALTO ONLINE Iowa's newest millionaire: Newton firefighter claims $1 million Powerball prize An Iowa man who missed a share of Saturday's $1.3 billion Powerball jackpot by just one number has claimed his consolation prize. Trent Baker, a 37-year-old firefighter from Newton, matched the first five numbers of Saturday's drawing (22-27-44-52-69), but missed the Powerball (9). He's one of seven players across the county to do so, winning $1 million. He claimed his prize Monday afternoon at Iowa Lottery's headquarters in Clive. In a news release from the Iowa Lottery, Baker said he was up early for work on Sunday morning when he decided to use the Iowa Lottery app on his mobile phone to check the results of the five Powerball tickets he'd bought the night before. His phone dinged on the second ticket he checked, indicating that it was a winner. KCCI-TV CBS 8 DES MOINES Norfolk Southern agrees to pay $600 million for East Palestine, Ohio, train derailment VIDEO: Norfolk Southern has agreed to pay $600 million in a class-action lawsuit settlement related to last year's fiery train derailment that affected East Palestine, Ohio. The company said Tuesday that the agreement, if approved by the court, will resolve all class action claims within a 20-mile radius from the derailment and, for those residents who choose to participate, personal injury claims within a 10-mile radius from the derailment. About 50 cars of the freight train — which had roughly 150 cars and three locomotives — derailed on the outskirts of East Palestine, near the Pennsylvania state line, with some cars transporting hazardous materials. An evacuation covered 1,500 to 2,000 of the town's approximately 4,800 to 4,900 residents. CBS NEWS PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
