A fire department in Texas has a nearly all-bald force after firefighters chose to shave their heads to support a colleague with cancer.
"When you go into a situation like going into a fire, a situation when you know that there’s a chance you could get injured or killed, when you share those experiences, there’s a bond," Stewart said. "The only way to describe it is if you have a brother or sister, just that they just know you better than you know yourself. It truly is that same feeling."
Firefighters in Jarrell, Texas, shaved their heads in solidarity with a fellow firefighter who is battling cancer."They're giving the most valuable thing that they have, and that's their time," Stewart said. "Watching them line up to sign up to work for free was just something that really touched my heart."MORE: Man given 1 year to live survives brain cancer
