Yesterday, scanner traffic indicated a medical situation in the Lyman area. Trooper 300 from the Nebraska State Patrol had requested an ambulance to meet a patient traveling in a private vehicle on the road on the way to the hospital. The patient and the ambulance met up on South Morrill Road, where they were transferred and transported to Regional West Medical Center.    And speaking of Morrill, there was also a car fire in Morrill last evening. Scanner traffic indicated that the reporting party was complaining of asthma and could not breathe, and the pickup was engulfed in flames. Much thanks to the local fire departments for their response.    Speaking of fire response, the Alliance Nebraska Fire Department is looking for a new fire chief. If you are experienced and have what it takes, apply with the City of Alliance to be the new fire chief.   Two major overnight weather stories, at least an F2, possibly an F3, tornado ripped through Wisconsin causing major damage, and a 7.1 earthquake in Japan has hundreds of people currently trapped inside of a mall, and fears are there will be many deaths.    For the best in breaking local news, follow PanhandleScanner.com or Panhandle Scanner on social media. And don't forget our public record, every Monday through Friday whenever available, now covering over 20 counties in the state of Nebraska.   Speaking of the state of Nebraska, Greater Nebraska Scanner is our scanner page that covers the entire state. Go follow it now, Greater Nebraska Scanner, part of the Panhandle Scanner News Network.
