Texas: Two Galveston police officers were rushed to the hospital after nearly drowning during a training exercise on Wednesday morning.

"Galveston police were participating in a swift water rescue training being conducted Wednesday morning September 3 at Schlitterbahn when an incident occurred that resulted in two officers being transported to UTMB for treatment.

The training was being hosted by the Houston Fire Department when two members of GPD’s marine/dive team lost their footing and went underwater necessitating rescue efforts by others participating in the training.

One of the officers was treated and released, the other has been admitted in good condition for additional observation."

The Hotshot Wake Up

Idaho: And just like that, Idaho is once again seeing large fire growth after a cooling and wetting trend. The Ulm Creek Fire has quickly grown to 1,800 acres near Ulm Peak on the Idaho/Montana border.

The fire is burning on both the Idaho Panhandle and Kootenai National Forests with 62 personnel, helicopters, heavy equipment, and a Type 3 IMT in command.

Gem Peak Lookout on the Cabinet Ranger District has been closed as it falls inside the Forest closure area. A warming and drying trend is moving it’s way across the northern Rockies this week, and more fire growth is expected.

The Hotshot Wake Up

NOPD down 600 officers (44%), FREE help offered… and declined. Apparently, disliking one person is more urgent than offering the best protection to 400,000 people you are asking for a vote from. It's Teedy 2.0 y'all.

Two storms passed through most of Wichita, Kansas Wednesday night. 👀

MISSING CA GOVENOR! 

Be on the look out for Gavin Newsom, he is MISSING.

Sources are saying he has bruises on his hands and is secretly ill,  possibly drunk.  If you see him, tell him CA fire victims are still in need.
