Episode 89 - From Maryland to Rison: 1,200 Miles in a Green Fire Truck
Rison, Arkansas volunteer firefighters Keden Shrum and Tristan Ward faced a crisis when "Engine Two," their 1987 pumper truck, became too hazardous to drive. This equipment deficit directly threatened the town’s municipal ISO rating, risking spiked insurance premiums for residents. Bypassing slow federal grants, Shrum secured quick city council approval for an $88,000 safety budget. They purchased a unique, bargain-priced forest green 2004 KME pumper for $50,000 from Hagerstown, Maryland. To save $6,000 in shipping fees, the duo flew to Maryland and drove the truck 1,200 miles home. The grueling road test featured a punishing, hollow SCBA passenger seat and two major delays: a clogged spark arrester repaired at a West Virginia fire station garage and a failed steer tire in Kentucky. Now safely in Rison, the new rig shields the community's finances and active emergency response.

Episode 87: Cruisin' Cleveland County Bike Ride Returns, Adds Wheels Unlimited Showcase
The fourth annual Cruisin’ Cleveland County Bike Ride returns to Rison on Saturday, June 6. Organizers previewed the expanded event on the Free Range Conversations podcast, highlighting its growth from a local cycling meetup into a premier regional festival. Cyclists can choose from five distinct routes ranging from 21 to 65 miles. Despite Arkansas's flat reputation, riders will face challenging rolling terrain with elevation changes exceeding 1,000 feet, including a new 30-mile gravel route near Johnny Cash’s birthplace. New this year is the Wheels Unlimited Showcase at the historic Pioneer Village, featuring 13 vehicle classes from antique tractors to motorcycles. The village will also host a community festival with live music by Laura Caroline, food trucks, and local non-profits. Proceeds from the $50 registration fee support local charities. Cyclists can register online at RunSignUp.com or on-site starting at 6 a.m.
