In this week’s edition of the News Man Weekly podcast, Richland Source City Editor Carl Hunnell is joined by current Mansfield Fire Department Chief Dan Crow and retired Chief John Harsch.The three talk about the evolution of firefighting science and technology, changes in firefighting techniques and the 30th anniversary of the Mansfield Fire Museum.Hunnell is also joined by executive producer Zac Hiser and video producer Grant Ritchey as they discuss the news of the week, including the selection of former Mansfield police Capt. Shari Robertson to fill a spot on City Council; new biometric wrist monitors in the Richland County Jail that will be used with medically at-risk inmates; and two new improvement projects underway at Liberty Park in Mansfield.A self-confessed space geek, Hunnell also goes off on a tangent about the SpaceX launch Sunday morning that saw the successful capture of a 200-foot rocket booster. Yeah, he is weird that way.
