KNBC-TV NBC 4 LOS ANGELES Connecticut firefighters rescue 2 from sinking truck in icy water during storm VIDEO: Dramatic video shows first responders rescue two people from a vehicle submerged into Long Island Sound during the nor'easter on Monday afternoon. Two people were in the pickup truck when it went 35 feet out into the water. Only the bed of the truck was sticking out. A woman in the truck got out through the rear window and was able to get onto the bed of the truck and out of the water, but a man in the truck was stuck. Firefighters stretched their tower ladder to its full capacity in order to reach the vehicle. Officials said as soon as a firefighter was able to grab the man through the window, the truck went fully under water. The man was taken to the hospital conscious but had some lacerations. The woman declined medical care at the scene. Stamford Fire Department Captain Palmer said he was especially proud of his team. WABC-TV ABC 7 NEW YORK Arizona fire station one of first in US geared toward cancer prevention The Goodyear Fire Department is one of the first fire departments in the country to take a major step toward preventing firefighters from getting cancer from the important work they do. Goodyear opened up Station 186 near Willis and Rainbow Valley roads in early January. The station is one of three that will be built with special air partitioning systems to keep carcinogens away from firefighters in between calls. More and more building materials and household items are made with plastic, and when plastic burns, the smoke it puts off can contain cancer-causing substances that are then inhaled by firefighters. The CDC reports that firefighters have an increased risk of cancer diagnosis and death as a result of smoke inhalation. There isn't much firefighters can do about inhaling smoke when they are putting out a fire, but in the living quarters of a station, there is an opportunity to keep firefighters away from fumes as they eat, sleep and wait for the next call. KPNX-TV NBC 12 PHOENIX Suffering in silence: How a bill in Alabama could help first responders suffering from PTSD With the Alabama state legislative session starting on Feb. 2, a bill has already been proposed to give more help towards first responders suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder. When people hear the term PTSD, most do not think about firefighters, police officers, or other safety staff. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 30 percent of first responders are expected to develop some type of behavioral condition. "You know the fire service as a whole, and even here in the Dothan Fire Department, responds to a lot of traumatic situations," Dothan Fire Deputy Chief Chris Etheredge said. "Whether that be a medical response or a fire response or a car wreck. Those are very traumatic things that can happen and you have to put together that with what's going on in your life and how that affects each person individually."
