A Fireman's Prayer
When I am called to Duty, God whenever flames may rage,
give me 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 horrors of that fate.
Enable me to be alert and hear the weakest shout,
and quickly and efficiently put the fire out.

I want to fill me calling and to give the best in me
to guard my every neighbor and protect his property.
And if, according to your will I should lose my life,
please bless with your protecting hand my children and wife.

A.W. "Smokey" Linn
