Fireman's Prayer



When I am called to duty, God...
Where ever flames may rage...
Give me the strength to save some life...
Whatever be its age...
Help me embrace a little child...
Before it is to 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 give my life...
Please bless with your protecting hand...
My children and my wife.




A Rescuer's Prayer

Lord we're not here to be a hero or to be seen or t.v.
we're here to serve a purpose to save a human being.

A mist the death and destruction give us strength to carry on.
Let the light of your love shine as the whole country mourns.

Give our ears the sensitivity to hear the faintest sound
give us courage to keep going until the last person is found.

Even though we know so many precious lives were lost
we will bring the home to their loved ones no matter what the cost.

The walls may crash in around us and the skies may turn deathly gray
But we will go back to ground zero......another day.
