When I am called to duty, God - wherever flame may rage, give me the strength 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 neighbor, and protect his property.

And if, according to your will, I have to lose my life, please bless with your protecting hand my children and my wife.
