Fireworks, Fire Safety, and Art Adventures (Hour 2)

June 26, 2025

On a windy Trucker Thursday, John and Jim talk about crucial fire safety tips with Green Bay Fire Chief Matthew Knotts, and Fire Captain Nick Craig, focusing on the dangers of fireworks as July 4th approaches. Sparklers burn at over 1200 degrees, leading to numerous injuries, particularly in children. The hosts stress enjoying professional firework shows instead. Later, in our Eye on The Community segment, brought to you by InSight Eyecare in Oshkosh and Appleton, Naomi Moes from the Art Garage shares exciting developments in Green Bay's art scene, including a Sculpture Project in De Pere and participation in the Sturgeon Bay Art Crawl. The hosts emphasize the role of art in community development and individual growth.
