A Firefighters' Prayer

Whenever I am called to duty, God

Wherever flames may rage

Help me to save a life

Whatever be its age.

Help me to embrace a little child,

Before it is 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,

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.
