The Firefighter's PrayerWhen I am called to duty, God
whenever flames may rage,Give me the strength to save some lifeWhatever be its age.Help me to embrace a little childBefore it is too late,Or some older person fromthe horror of that fate.Enable me to be alertAnd hear the weakest shout,And quickly and efficientlyto put the fire out.I want to fill my calling and give the best in me…To guard my every neighborAnd protect their property.And if according to Your willI have to lose my life,Please bless with Your protecting handMy children and my wife.
