Fireman’s Prayer
“When I am called to duty, God wherever flames may rage,
give me strength to save some 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 his property.
And if according to my fate, I am to lose my life,
bless with Thy protecting hand my children and my wife.”
