#3 - Caleb Halvorson

Caleb Halvorson was a young Fort Worth firefighter working overtime to pay off NICU bills for his newborn son. September 3rd, 2025 was supposed to be a slow shift. Then he spotted smoke off the highway and went in aggressive, the way he always did.The carport folded him like a lawn chair. He was trapped for one minute and 44 seconds while it burned. When they finally pulled him out, his skin came off in their hands.His first words: "Don't let me die. I have a kid in the NICU."This is the first firefighter ever featured on the Life Warrior Podcast. Caleb talks about what it's like to feel invincible in your gear one second and learn to walk again months later. What brotherhood actually looks like when they're pulling you out of the fire. And how you find small wins when everything's been taken from you.
