In western Lane County, the unincorporated community of Mapleton has struggled with its water infrastructure. Community leaders had stitched together funding to improve Mapleton’s system. That patchwork included federal funding from the Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and FEMA, according to reporting by KLCC.  While it’s been able to claw back some money with the help of lawmakers, the community has still lost funds and resources after federal changes. Art Donnelly is the vice chair of the board of commissioners of the Mapleton Water District. He joins us with more details about Mapleton's situation and what’s at stake for those living in rural areas with failing infrastructure.

Noel Byrne. EPA Programme Manager, discusses the quality of drinking water.

Water might seem like the simplest part of firefighting – just point and spray, right? Well, as you can imagine, the reality is a bit more complex. In this conversation with veteran firefighter and CFBT instructor Szymon Kokot, we pull back the curtain on firefighting's most critical resource to reveal the intricate science and logistics behind effective fire suppression.Did you know a standard fire truck carries just 10 minutes' worth of water for a typical residential fire? Or that a water-filled fire hose can weigh up to 45 kilograms per 20-meter section? These physical realities shape every aspect of firefighting operations and explain why building water supply systems are absolutely vital for effective emergency response.Szymon walks us through essential concepts that every fire engineer should understand – from critical flow rates (2 liters per minute per square meter of fire area) to tactical flow rates (4 liters per minute per square meter) that provide both effectiveness and safety margin. We explore how water's cooling capacity works primarily during evaporation, why cooling burning materials is more important than extinguishing visible flames, and how different water application techniques serve different tactical purposes.The conversation demystifies hydrants versus standpipes, dry versus wet systems, and the specialised requirements for different building types – especially the unique challenges of high-rise structures where external water supply is virtually impossible. We also confront the all-too-common reliability issues that plague these systems, from maintenance problems to vandalism.Whether you're a fire engineer looking to design more effective systems, a firefighter interested in the science behind your craft, or simply curious about this intersection of physics, engineering and emergency operations, this episode delivers valuable insights into how water – our oldest firefighting tool – continues to shape modern fire safety design and operations.----The Fire Science Show is produced by the Fire Science Media in collaboration with OFR Consultants.

We really nerd out in this episode as we are joined by Steve Nelson and Ryan Stempski, both from WSB & Associates, to talk about PFAS in our drinking water supplies. There is much to unpack about this complex and important issue, and this is just the first hour in likely several hours of conversation on this topic in the months ahead. Enjoy!AI Generated Episode Description:The drinking water crisis nobody's ready for is already here. PFAS, nicknamed "forever chemicals," have infiltrated water supplies across America, and new EPA regulations mandating treatment down to 4 parts per trillion have created a staggering financial burden for communities. This eye-opening conversation with PFAS experts Steve Nelson and Ryan Stempski reveals the true scale of the problem.What makes PFAS so concerning? The carbon-fluorine bond at their core is virtually indestructible in nature, meaning these chemicals persist in groundwater sources for decades or longer. With health effects ranging from increased cholesterol to cancer risks, the EPA's stringent new limits aim to protect public health—but at what cost?For a city like Hastings, Minnesota, treating seven contaminated wells will cost approximately $68.9 million to build treatment facilities and about $1 million annually to operate—a $100 million lifetime investment. Using Granular Activated Carbon (GAC), the primary treatment technology, communities must effectively create "parking garages" where PFAS molecules can be trapped. When these carbon vessels become saturated, they must be replaced at roughly $60,000 each.The Minnesota experience offers valuable insights for communities nationwide. While the $850+ million 3M settlement provides funding for impacted areas in the East Metro, most American communities will need to cobble together federal grants, state assistance, and increased water rates to afford treatment. As one expert notes, "We're all going to be competing for the same resources" as the 2029 compliance deadline approaches.Whether your community is dealing with PFAS now or will in the future, this conversation provides crucial understanding of the science, costs, and challenges ahead. The affordable water we've taken for granted may soon be a thing of the past. Subscribe now and join the conversation about how we'll protect our most vital resource.

Earlier this month, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced plans to end the federal recommendation that municipalities add fluoride to their drinking water. Amid the renewed debate, William Brangham spoke with Lindsay McLaren of the University of Calgary to discuss why that community removed fluoride from its water and why fluoridation started in the first place.

More than half a million acres in southwest Montana have been impacted by conifer expansion. It used to be that fires would come through these landscapes and burn back the trees, but that natural cycle isn't happening anymore. Now, more trees are encroaching into traditional sagebrush habitat, and that has impacts on our water supply.
