Episode 2 of “Chasing the Flame” with Jake Slater

Monday, July 20th, 2026 Join host Cleveland for a powerful follow-up interview with Jake Slater, a determined young man still chasing his dream of joining the Fort Wayne Fire Department.

After a full year of waiting, training, studying, and pushing himself physically and mentally, Jake returns to the mic to share what life has really been like in the “holding pattern.” From the uncertainty of the process to the discipline it takes to stay ready, he opens up about the twists and turns that have shaped his journey.

Will this be the moment he finally gets the call?

Jake breaks down:The work he’s put in over the past year

How he stayed focused through the unknown

His hopes for where he’ll be placed within the department

His vision for year one, and five years, on the job

And this isn’t the end… Jake has committed to continuing the journey with us, giving listeners a real-time look inside the fire academy and beyond.

This isn’t just a story about becoming a firefighter, it’s about perseverance, patience, and purpose.
