Listen "Nashville Local Pulse: New Firefighters, Sports Wins, and Hometown Talent"
Episode Synopsis
Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Sunday, November 2nd. We wake up to breaking news from city hall where Mayor Freddie O’Connell and Chief William Swann welcomed 52 new firefighters at a ceremony in Madison, marking one of the largest groups joining the Nashville Fire Department in recent years. They completed over a thousand hours of rigorous training, some doubling as Metro Police Officers now certified as EMTs, which adds real strength to our emergency services across Davidson County. Special honors went out to graduates including Isaiah Kiefer, Detective Gary Anderson, Robert Bowman Jr., and Ardonus Scruggs, each recognized for outstanding achievements. Now, if you head outside this morning, expect chilly rain lingering through midday with temperatures barely climbing above the mid-40s. Rain could cause some slick spots on I-40 and around the Gulch, so if you have plans around town or tickets to Blackstone Brewing’s fall market, pack the umbrella. Skies clear a bit by late afternoon, but a brisk wind will stick around. The week ahead stays cool, so keep your jackets handy for the start of the school and workweek.Turning to community developments, Nashville SC brought GEODIS Park alive last night, clinching a tense 2-1 win over Inter Miami in the MLS Cup Playoffs.

The series is now tied, forcing a winner-take-all match next Saturday in Miami. That victory set a new single-season club record for goals and gives fans big hope for a semifinal run.In other sports, our Nashville Predators continue their home stand at Bridgestone Arena.
