The Firefighter's Prayer

Read by Jeff Perry

When I am called to duty, God, whenever flames may rage,

Give me the strength to save some life whatever be its age.

Help me embrace a little child before it's 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 and to give the best in me, to guard my every

neighbor and protect his property.

And if according to my fate I lose my life this day, please

Bless with your protecting hand my family, this I pray.
