PODCAST: In this episode of the WGNS Action Line, host Scott Walker sits down with Murfreesboro Fire Rescue Department Chief Mark McCluskey, a 41-year veteran of the force, to discuss the shifting safety landscape as Tennessee enters the warmer months of March and April. With local temperatures already reaching the low 70s, the Chief highlights a significant rise in motorcycle accidents and outdoor-related incidents as residents flock to the streets and grills. The conversation dives deep into the department's evolving history—from its 1903 volunteer roots to its current 11-station operation—while addressing modern challenges like fentanyl-related medical calls and the increased risk of occupational cancer for firefighters. Chief McCluskey also shares vital information on how residents can use Community Connect to provide first responders with life-saving data before they even arrive on the scene.
