Carter, an Aurora, Illinois, fire fighter and author of The Fire Service: History, Traditions and Beyond, who will answer questions about the origins of the American fire service, why fire engines are red, why fire fighters toll bells and play bagpipes at fire fighter funerals and many other interesting questions about fire fighting history.

This week's broadcast will also include a brief memorial for those who die in the line of duty each week, firehouse politics, equipment topics and, of course food, as well as many other topics. Call-ins are welcomed.
