On Tuesday’s Houston Matters: A new report says Harris County's response to fires, like the one earlier this year at the ITC chemical facility, needs improvement. We learn about the 49 recommendations a private consulting firm has given to commissioners court.

Also this hour: We learn how the city inspects and maintains area roads and bridges. Then, we learn how the Turtle Bayou Resolutions set the stage for the Texas Revolution.

And we bid farewell to News 88.7’s outgoing energy and environment reporter Travis Bubenik.
