In this show we talk with Kevin Sehlmeyer, State of MI Fire Marshal and MI Public Safety Communications Interoperability Board member to discuss radios, fire fighting, interoperability, MI Prevention and Community Risk Reduction.

What does the Fire Marshal do, and what is the Public Safety Communications Interoperability Board? What is Interoperability? What technologies have improved fire fighting?

In the 2nd half, we talk about the program MI Prevention. What does the data say about the biggest risks for fire fatalities, and what can YOU do to keep you and your family safe.
