About this Episode:
Intro Provided by: Jerry Miller, Baltimore County Fire Department, Maryland
On this episode Captain Andy Starnes joins us to talk about the brotherhood of the fire service and what it truly means. It is inspiring to think about the amazing things that a group of individuals with the same passion can accomplish not only on the fireground, but at the station and in home life.
- There are a few key terms that often get thrown around when talking about the brotherhood, but what do they really mean to you?
- What key parts of being a well-rounded firefighter are missing?
- What can each of us do or improve on to show our dedication to the brotherhood?
This and more.

I just heard this podcast for the first time and I want to thank you. Not only did it reach in how to better myself as a firefighter but as I listened to Captain Starnes speak of his relationship with God and how important it was it was if I felt the Holy Spirit enter me and open my eyes. I realized that I have been running from the Lord and afraid to commit to His plan for too long and that is was time to realize that until I give myself to Him completely I will never truly succeed in this path that He has put me on. By the end of the Pod Cast and as I write this I am fighting back tears of joy as I feel a weight has been lifted off of me. I had to share and say thank you so much.
God Bless you all.
