About this listen

If you love a good underdog story, want to hear how we fire up the spirit of giving (and competition), or just want a glimpse behind the firefighter curtain, you’re in the right place.

Welcome back to The Rescue Room! I’m Hattie Hawks, and in this episode, I sit down with Shay and Hadley from the Orange Township Fire Department for a conversation that’s as spirited as it is insightful. We talk about the unique camaraderie and fierce competition that fuel first responders—not just on emergency calls, but also on the flag football field during our upcoming charity tournament.

You’ll hear my firsthand take on the playful rivalries, the relentless trash talk, and why that “alpha” energy is such a hallmark of firehouse life. Shay and Hadley share what drew them to this demanding career, what keeps them passionate, and how much their department feels like family. We swap stories about last year’s tournament—crazy games, a few battle scars, and lots of laughs—and preview everything coming up at this year’s event: from the on-field action to kid-friendly Halloween fun, Buckeye appearances, and all the ways we’re rallying the community together.
