Show Notes
A fire at an old mill in Bostons Hyde Park neighborhood has reignited concerns about welding safety, following a similar tragedy in 2014. Kathy Crosby-Bell, mother of a firefighter killed in that incident, has been advocating for stricter welding regulations. Two bills in the State House aim to require training from the National Fire Protection Association, impose fines for skipping training, and establish a statewide database of trained welders. However, these proposals have stalled for a decade, leaving Crosby-Bell questioning political priorities as an injured firefighter remains hospitalized.
