The Fireman's Prayer


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.
