#254 Robert Wittenberg: PT’s Smokey the Bear
(Airdate: November 12, 2024) Maryanne interviews Robert Wittenberg, the Community Risk Manager for the East Jefferson Fire Department. Robert’s role is to help stop fires even before they start. Businesses are all governed by codes to make sure they are trained to handle emergencies such as fire. There are mandatory inspections annually or every two years. Of course, if there are complaints – such as complaints about cleanliness and potential fire hazards in a restaurant – inspections can happen at any time. There’s also a push to educate the general public about what they need to do to prevent and perhaps stop a small home fire. Robert’s key role is to teach. The lessons are wide-ranging – from teaching CPR to 8th Graders to how to administer Narcan, which can help reverse drug overdose, and how to stop major bleeding. More info at www.ejfr.org.

Silk
(Airdate: November 12, 2024) Wuwei looks like a Silk Road City—flat and dusty. But unlike most other Silk Road cities, Wuwei is Chinese, and has the typical military layout of a garrison town. In fact, it was the first of four major military garrisons established in the Gansu Corridor during the Han Dynasty. We dropped our gear at a seedy hotel and rented bicycles.
