It's Episode 10 of the Station 34 podcast and our guest is a good friend, Lieutenant Casey Spielmaker of the Grand Rapids Fire Department in Grand Rapids, MI.  Just four years ago when I was considering applying at Grand Rapids Township FD, I called Casey to ask him for some advice and get a perspective of life in the fire service and he couldn't have more helpful and supportive.  Lt. Spielmaker talks about his career with the GRFD and what it's like to be part of an important institution in our city and society.  Casey talks about the camaraderie that develops amongst your peers in the fire house and how that group of folks not only becomes your second family,  but a group you know you'll be able to count on well beyond your days with the Department.  Listen in and check out Lance's company Ladder 34 at ladder34.com.  Follow the show on Instagram at @station34podcast.  Check back for new episodes of Station 34 every Friday.
