The Supply Line

Joe Caughey, Lee Shaffer

Joe & Lee, both with fire truck manufacturing and volunteer firefighting backgrounds, are colleagues in the fire apparatus industry. Despite their similar ages and interests, they often bicker like an old married couple about all things fire apparatus. After subjecting their co-workers to a debate that felt like a real-life Facebook comment section during a 9-hour car ride home from FDIC 2023, this podcast was born.
