Firefighter's Resources
May GOD Bless all Firefighters and Keep Them Safe!
Thanks to all our Firefighters!
So as you look at the firefighter with his rake, hose or axe,
His beet red face or ice covered mustache,
You should know why he goes through that smoky front door,
And is forced to crawl like a baby down on the floor.
He does it to save both lives and property,
All that is precious to you and to me.
So take a good look at this modern warrior who serves his call proud and true,
And know that he would die just to save me and you.
~Robert J. Athans
When a man becomes a fireman his greatest act of bravery has been accomplished. What he does after that is all in the line of work.
~Edward F. Croker
When I am called to duty, God, whenever flames may rage, give me strength to save some life,
whatever be the age. Help me embrace a little child before it's 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 fulfill my calling and to give the best in me,
to guard my every neighbor, and protect their properties. And if according to my fate,
I am to lose my life, please bless with your protecting hand, my family's precious life.
