Just in time for the Fourth of July – the Maine Fire Marshal and a Forest Ranger Specialist join us to explain what you need to know to stay fire-safe this summer. We’ll discuss the debate over online burn permits issued by private companies, how high the fire danger is for the holiday weekend, and how to handle fireworks safely. The guests will also address the latest fire news in Maine, as well as questions about the best smoke detectors for your home and other measures to keep your family safe. (Keith hosting)
Guests: State Fire Marshal Joseph Thomas
