Marking the one-year anniversary of the deadly Fairmount fire that killed 12 people, the nation’s top fire official visited the city to unveil a strategy to combat fire threats across the U.S. They said the plan comes amid indifference to deadly fires.
Along with “tens of thousands” of injuries, Moore-Merrell said those fires resulted in the deaths of 96 firefighters and disproportionately affected vulnerable communities, including the elderly, children, and low-income residents.
“The building fails us before firefighters even arrive,” Moore-Merrell said. “So we want to know what are the aspects of the buildings that have led to deaths in those buildings that could have been prevented — and bought more time for either escape, or firefighters to rescue people.” The remaining alarms were removed or had their batteries taken out, investigators found. In the wake of the blaze, PHA said it has worked with its residents to hold fire drills and put in place emergency safety plans.Lorraine Carli, vice president of outreach and advocacy for the National Fire Protection Association, explained that officials would help local jurisdictions enforce the NFPA’s 300-plus fire codes as residential structures nationwide struggled with outdated safety systems.

Another Year of Record Heat for the Oceans - Advances in Atmospheric SciencesChanges in ocean heat content (OHC), salinity, and stratification provide critical indicators for changes in Earth’s energy and water cycles. These cycles have been profoundly altered due to the emission of greenhouse gasses and other anthropogenic substances by human activities, driving pervasive changes in Earth’s climate system. In 2022, the world’s oceans, as given by OHC, were again the hottest in the historical record and exceeded the previous 2021 record maximum. According to IAP/CAS data, the 0–2000 m OHC in 2022 exceeded that of 2021 by 10.9 ± 8.3 ZJ (1 Zetta Joules=1021 Joules); and according to NCEI/NOAA data, by 9.1 ± 8.7 ZJ. Among seven regions, four basins (the North Pacific, North Atlantic, the Mediterranean Sea, and southern oceans) recorded their highest OHC since the 1950s. The salinity-contrast index, a quantification of the “salty gets saltier—fresh gets fresher” pattern, also reached its highest level on record in 2022, implying continued amplification of the global hydrological cycle. Regional OHC and salinity changes in 2022 were dominated by a strong La Niña event. Global upper-ocean stratification continued its increasing trend and was among the top seven in 2022.
