The Fireman's Prayer
Whenever I Am Called To Duty God, Wherever Flames May Rage; Give Me Strength To Save Some Life Whatever be It's Age.
Help Me Embrace A Little Child Before It's Too Late; Or Save An Older Person From The Horrors Of That Fate.
Enable Me To Be Alert, And Hear The Weakest Shout And Quickly And Efficently Put The Fire Out.
I Want To Fill My Calling And Give The Best In Me; To Guard My Every Neighbor And Protect His Property.
And If According To Your Will I Am To Give My Life, Please Bless With Your Protecting Hand, My Children And My Wife.

Ever return from a run at midnight, tired and wet and cold, knowing it's time to clean the trucks; a tradition from days of old.
our world is full of traitions; like saying Grace at noon; a fire parade in October- in light of a harvest moon;
Visiting children at schools- our chests pushed out with pride; letting them blow the siren or even take a ride.
But this job's not all glory. There's a dark and gloomy side: of homes and memoried burning, of loved ones trapped inside.
You pray you are succesful in easing someone's pain. But often things are lost, you can never regain.
When a fireman's duty calls him from this life, and the flag that drapped his casket, is presented to his wife;
And  when the bell is sounded, five by five bye five, and God's taken another hero's name, out of the book of life;
Just remember, it's tradition!
From day one you can depend, that Comrades, Friends and Brothers
stand with you to the end.
