	"Firefighter's Prayer" 
 
 
	When I am called to duty, God 
	wherever flames may rage, 
	give me strength to save a life 
	Whatever be its age. 
 
	Let 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 give the best in me, 
	to guard my friend and neighbor 
	and protect their property. 
 
	And if according to your will, 
	while on duty I must answer death's call; 
	bless with your protecting hand 
	my family, one and all.
