“Can you fill these boots?” Those are the words of Retired FDNY Captain David Floyd during a recruitment campaign held by the Vulcan Society throughout the late '60s and '70s.

On this month's episode of the JoinFDNY Podcast, host Captain Andrew Brown and guest host Lieutenant Melissa Bennett sit down with Vulcan Society member Lieutenant Darren Grant. They discuss his introduction to the Vulcan Society and how Captain Floyd’s quote still resonates today—throughout his career as a firefighter, his membership in the Vulcan Society, and the next chapter of his career as a lieutenant.
