 On this episode of Racine and Me, we hear from firefighters Alex Hagen and Rudi Betancourt, both one year into their jobs and both fighting cancer. The fire department says-they’re doing whatever they can to get these guys back to  healthy.

Plus Mount Pleasant Residents are losing their backyards to erosion. We speak with a city official who talks about what can be done.

And finally Racine native Bill Stedman teaches self defense to men, women and children across the state and he’s giving us a demo on tips to stay safe every day.
