Show notes

In this episode, we wanted to keep things light as we know many of our listeners are going through a lot of stress right now. To that end, Kevin and I share funny and interesting encounters we've had on the job involving animals, odd situations, and some pranks thrown in for good measure. There are a couple of grisly details in one story here so listener discretion is advised.

061: Eric Eastlund, Firefighter Diagnosed With Cancer & The Fight That Followed Nov 01, 2021

Show notes

This episode will give you some great perspectives on facing adversity in your life or supporting others that are struggling, with cancer or anything else life throws at you. Make sure you share this episode with someone you think would benefit from it! Eric Eastlund is the new Engineer on our shift. He has been a fireman with our department for over ten years now. He and Kevin went through the tower together. Eric was diagnosed with cancer after about 6 years on the job and this episode focuses on the process of fighting it. Cancer is a scary diagnosis, and for firefighters, it is all too common. Eric's mindset, his willingness to fight on multiple fronts, and the strength he carries from his heritage as a member of the Chumash tribe, along with the support of those around him all added up to defeating cancer.
