An 8-year-old boy was critically injured today after falling roughly 20 feet down a shaft into a bunker-like room near the top of the popular Koko Crater Trail in Hawaii Kai. The Honolulu Fire Department received a 911 call about the incident at 5 :24 p.m. and dispatched five units staffed with 13 personnel.

Seeley-Swan resident kills charging grizzly bear
Jun. 6—A resident in the Seeley-Swan Valley shot and killed a grizzly bear earlier this week after the bruin charged at him near his home. According to state wildlife officials, on the night of June 3, the landowner heard noises and disturbances with his livestock and dogs at his residence between Condon and Seeley Lake. As he walked outside to check on his animals, the bear charged, officials said. The man shot and killed the bear, and was not injured in the encounter. The grizzly was a male, according to the state's grizzly bear mortality dashboard. There have been six documented grizzly bear deaths in the state so far this year, including two deemed to be "defense of life" situations. Officials warn that bears are active across the region. People experiencing conflicts with bears should call their local Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks bear specialist. Grizzly bears reside mostly in western Montana but have expanded their range in recent years. The bruins are protected in the lower 48 states as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act.

Firefighters put out shack fire near Yellowknife's Pilot's Monument
The Yellowknife fire department responded quickly to a small fire in an area below Pilot's Monument in Yellowknife Thursday morning. A person who lives in the area said the burned structure was a dilapidated shack. Though it was once occupied, it's believed no one had been living in it for some time. Firefighters were hosing down the smoldering remains and checking for hot spots by 8 a.m., preventing the blaze from spreading to trees in the area. Pilot's Monument, the highest point in the city's Old Town, overlooks Great Slave Lake. It's a popular site for tourists and also a residential area. The fire comes at a time of heightened wildfire danger in other areas of the territory. Gusting winds, low humidity and high temperatures prompted Fort Smith and Hay River to impose fire bans. In the Yellowknife area, though, fire danger was listed as low on Thursday.
