"When I am called to duty, God
Whenever flames may rage,
Give me the strenght to save some life
Whatever be its age
Help me 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
And to give the best in me
To guard my every neighbour
And protect his property
And if according to my fate
I am to lose my life
Please bless with your hand
My children and my wife."
To all firefighters and EMT's:
wherever you are,whoever you are: thank you all.
