    This episode we will talk about what the term “Brotherhood” means in the fire service. Sometimes, it is a term loosely used. Do you know the real meaning behind Brotherhood? My guest this week has 20 years of career experience and is the creator and founder of Bearers Of The Oath, where the message is simple: We are not out to alienate you but to make you evaluate yourself and the oath you took when you decided to enter into the fire service and to make sure you are truly upholding that commitment to the citizens who rely on us on their worst day! Shane has a strong religious faith in God and His Family.
