| More than 50 firefighters mopping up 21-acre Brock Road Fire near North Pole More than 50 firefighters are continuing to mop up the Brock Road Fire outside of Fairbanks as they try to fully contain the 21-acre fire before temperatures heat up over the next few days. The fire was 75 percent contained as of Tuesday morning, a slight decrease from the containment reported yesterday after firefighters were able to better inspect the fire from the ground and air. Firefighters have cut a saw line around the fire and there is a hose line around the fire to provide water to extinguish any hot spots found along the perimeter. A bulldozer has also cleared a line around the entire fire perimeter. The human-caused fire erupted Sunday about 8 ½ miles southeast of Fairbanks in a wooded area near the intersection of Brock and Repp roads. It grew quickly but an aggressive aerial attack helped tame the fire and a bulldozer was able to clear a containment line around the fire to keep it in check until crews arrived. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. AK FIRE INFO PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| Firefighters battle soaring temps as they fight to extinguish 7-alarm blaze in Massachusetts VIDEO: Firefighters battled high temperatures as they fought to extinguish a large, seven-alarm house fire in Revere Tuesday evening. Crews were called to the scene on Hyde Street where smoke and flames could be seen pouring out of the top of the home. The back side of the structure was charred. At least one other home caught fire due to constantly changing wind directions. Several firefighters were treated for heat exhaustion but all firefighters and residents were reported out of the building. With the humidity that has settled over the region over the last few days, it is likely that the firefighters tried to gain control of this fire in 104 degree temperatures, Chief Meteorologist Jeremy Reiner said. Crowds are being kept well away from the scene. WHDH-TV ABC 7 BOSTON 2 building inspectors among 6 charged in senior facility fire that killed resident, New York firefighter VIDEO: Four people have been arrested and two others charged in connection with a fire at a Spring Valley assisted living facility that claimed the lives of a resident and a firefighter earlier this year. District Attorney Thomas Walsh and New York State Fire Prevention and Control officials detailed the arrests and the results of the three-month long investigation at a Tuesday afternoon news conference. On March 23, 2021, volunteer firefighter Jared Lloyd would heroically help rescue over 100 residents of the Evergreen Assisted Living Facility before passing away during rescue operations. A resident of the facility, 79-year-old Oliver Hueston, also died. A rabbi and his son associated with the facility are facing the most serious charges, for "actions that have been determined to cause the fire," Walsh said without elaborating. WABC-TV ABC 7 NEW YORK Machine learning could save firefighters from deadly flashovers New machine learning algorithms could soon help firefighters forecast dangerous flashover ignition events using sensor data from burning buildings. Called P-Flash, the system was developed by Thomas Cleary and colleagues at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the US and Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Trained using data from thousands of simulated fires, the model can predict some flashovers in housefires up to 30 s before they occur. Flashovers are among the most hazardous threats faced by firefighters. At high temperatures, all exposed combustible material in a room can be ignited simultaneously, releasing a huge amount of energy. To avoid danger, while maximizing the amount of time spent searching a fire for victims, it is critical for firefighters to predict these events as far in advance as possible. PHYSICS WORLD Child in France builds special bond with Florida firefighters VIDEO: Jordan Pinol is never too far away from his fire hat. The French child, who leaves on the border near Geneva, Switzerland, has fond memories of a family trip to Florida in 2018. "He loves everything about firefighters," said his dad, Alex. Jordan, now 6, begged his family to stop at the fire station while visiting Clearwater. The excited child wanted to see how big American fire trucks were compared to trucks back home. The crew at Station 45 in Clearwater invited everyone inside, gave Jordan that prized plastic hat, and posed for photos. Jordan got to see the trucks up close and learn about American firefighting. "Our crews really enjoy being able to have those interactions," said Division Chief John Klinefelter, who has been a firefighter for 20 years. "Now there is an open line of correspondence going back and forth a little bit with the family." WTSP-TV CBS 10 TAMPA From a Kentucky fire station to the stage: Meet the band Quickline VIDEO: Capt. Michael Renn had a few minutes before dinner with the rest of the crew at Louisville Fire Department's Engine 2. With diving gear from training that day drying out behind him, he sat down for a quick jam session with Sgt. Alex Eckert — fellow firefighter and fellow band mate. "I think it started off with me kind of probably just playing guitar, bringing my guitar up to the fire house, and then bumping into actually…our lead singer," said Renn. Lead singer and harmonica player Capt. Sam Pierce works out of Engine 15 and Sgt. Trevor Dixon, on the drums, is at Engine 9. Eckert plays bass and also works out of Engine 2. "The name of our band is Quickline," said Renn. "On our engine companies, it is the first line that we would pull off. It is our go-to hand line with water in it that we take into a structure."
