Fireman's Prayer

When I'm called to duty God, wherever flames may rage.

Give me strength 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

to 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 their property.

And if according to Your will

I have to lose my life,

Please bless with Your protecting hand

my children and my wife.
