Get ready to peel back the layers of Hanford's firefighting operations with new Fire Chief Daniel Perkins at my side. We're confronting the city's burning questions about our first responders' stretched-thin resources and what it takes to douse the flames of a department in need. From the heart of the community's pulse, we'll reveal the ins and outs of the daily heroics that safeguard our streets, and the strategy Chief Perkins has ignited to spark a turnaround. All while keeping an ear to the ground on the latest city shake-ups, including Kalish Morrow's council departure leaving the Hanford City Council with just three members after June 4th.
But our conversation doesn't stop at staffing woes. Tune in for a deep-dive into how Hanford's recent ISO rating slip is fanning the flames of change, with repercussions that ripple through residents' wallets and the city's safety net. We're breaking down the clockwork precision required for emergency response, the stealthy threat of illegal fireworks, and the road map to rekindling the department's former glory. With Chief Perkins in the hot seat, expect a candid look at the challenges and triumphs of firefighting in Hanford, where every second counts.
