When I am called to duty, God,
Wherever Flames 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 their property.

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

AMEN
