There seems to be some confusion as to who Captain Willie Wines Jr. is vs. who Lt. Rhett Fleitz (me) is. Just for clarifications sake, I would like to ensure everyone understands who we are and what we do.

My good friend and Fire Department Photographer Nate Camfiord shared this story with me when it happened. I have been waiting to share the story. Nate drove to Mississippi to document Chris Shafer's graduation from the Mississippi State Fire Academy. The video is below and the story below that. Very touching.

Why "Hey Brother" you might ask? When Willie and I were talking about having shirts made we thought about putting "Pride, Honor, Respect, Tradition" on them. Then we thought, what about "Hey Brother". After all, that is how we greet most firefighters we have met. It seemed simple enough, so that is what we did.
