The destruction in Los Angeles serves as a reminder of how vulnerable many of our communities in Rhode Island are to wildfires. We hear about what the state and residents can do to prepare for a predicted increase in wildfires due to climate change. Also, dozens of community members recently sent a letter to the Board of Trustees for South County Hospital. In it they criticized leadership and expressed concern for the hospital's long-term financial viability. We hear from a doctor at the hospital who signed the letter. Plus, we take a trip to a Pawtucket museum filled wall to wall with pinball machines, some more than 70 years old. That and more on this week’s show.
