...'The Fireman's Prayer'...
--------------------------------
When I am called to duty, God
Whenever flames may rage,
Give me the strength to save some life
Whatever be its age,
Help me embrace a little child
Before its too late
Or save an older person from
The horror of that fate
Enable me to be alert and
Hear the weakest shout
And quickly and efficiently
To put the fire out
I want to fill my calling and
To give the best in me,
To guard my every neighbor and
Protect his property
And if according to my fate
I am to lose my life,
Please bless with your protecting hand
My children and my wife.

Words can not begin to express our sorrow when any Firefighter is killed in the line of duty. May God continue to bless and keep our Nation's Firefighters and their loved ones. The Firefighters Prayer listed above is dedicated in memory of all those who have lost their lives while on duty serving America and their Communities...
God Bless All Of Them...
