AMEN

SORRY IF WE WOKE YOU
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
BUT SOMEONE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
IS FIGHTING FOR HIS/HER LIFE
SORRY WE BLOCKED THE ROAD
AND MADE YOU TURN AROUND
BUT THERE’S A BAD WRECK
WITH INJURIED PEOPLE ON THE GROUND
WHEN YOU SEE US COMING
I HOPE YOU’LL UNDERSTAND
LET US HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY
SOMEONE NEEDS A HELPING HAND
SOMETIMES A CHILD IS CHOKING
SOMETIMES A LEG IS BROKEN
SOMETIMES A HEART STOPS BEATING
IF WE DON’T ARRIVE IT MAY BE TOO LATE
SO IF YOU SEE US CRYING
WHEN WE THINK WE ARE ALONE
YOU’LL KNOW WE HAD A BAD ONE
AND WE ARE FEELING MIGHTY DOWN
WE DON’T DO IT FOR THE MONEY
WE DON’T DO IT FOR THE GLORY
BUT FOR THE LIFE THAT MIGHT BE SAVED
SOMEWHERE DEEP WITHIN US
OUR SOULS ARE CRYING OUT
WE’RE HERE TO HELP OUR NEIGHBORS
IN THEIR HOUR OF PAIN AND DOUBT
GOD GAVE US SOMETHING SPECIAL
TO HELP SEE US THROUGH
WE DOIT BECAUSE WE LOVE YOU
AND WE CARE ABOUT YOU TOO!!!
 

THE FIRE POLICE PRAYER

ALMIGHTY GOD OUR SAVIOR, WHENEVER I AM DISPATCHED TO.

SO SERVE MY FELLOW MAN IN TIMES OF NEED, I ASK YOU;

TO GIVE ME THE STRENGTH AND GUIDANCE TO BE EVER ALERT

AND TO BE CONSISTENT WITHIN THE DISCHARGE OF MY DUTIES,

TO BE EVER MINDFUL OF THE WELFARE AND SAFETY OF ALL.

I HAVE BEEN SWORN TO PROTECT AND SERVE, TO BE FAIR AND IMPARTIAL IN THE TREATMENT OF ALL PERSONS WITH WHOM I COME IN CONTACT, TO BE COURTEOUS AND NEVER BE PROFANE IN WORDS OR DEEDS WHILE ON DUTY,

TO STRIVE TO ALWAYS BE PROFICIENT WITH THE TALENTS WHICH YOU HAVE GIVEN ME, AND ALWAYS HAVE THE WILLINGNESS TO SERVE.

AND, IF DURING MY SERVICE TO OTHERS IN TIMES OF NEED, IT IS YOUR WILL THAT THAT I LAY DOWN MY LIFE, BLESS ALWAYS, WITH YOUR LOVE AND GUIDANCE, MY FAMILY AND THOSE I LEAVE BEHIND.

AMEN

 

AUXILIARY PRAYER

 THE LADIES WAIT WHILE THEIR MEN RESPOND,

UNITED AS ONE IN A COMMON BOND.

THE BOND OS SERVING, EACH IN THEIR OWN WAY,

THE NEEDS THAT ARISE, BE WHAT THEY MAY.

THE REHEATED MEALS, THE UNSIPPED DRINK, ARE A COMMON
OCCURRENCE, MUCH MORE THAN YOU THINK.

IT’S MOSTLY ROUTINE AND DONE WITHOUT FLAIR,

THE MEN RETURN, THEIR LADIES ARE THERE.

BUT THEN COMES THE CALL, THE TOUGH ONE TO FIGHT,

A WORKING FIRE THAT MAY LAST THROUGH THE NIGHT.

THE LADIES AGAIN WAIT, BUT THIS TIME THEY KNOW,

THAT SOONER OR LATER, THEY TO WILL GO.

AS THEY WAIT FOR THE SIGNAL, THE TIME DRAWS NEAR,

FOR THAT SOONER OR LATER TO BE SUDDENLY HERE.

THE MEN ARE ALLWEARY, SOME OF THEM SPENT,

THE REFRESHEMENTS AT ARRIVE ARE LIKE HEAVEN SENT.

THE AUXILIARY, IN FACT, IS MORE THAN A NAME, ITS DEDICATED ARM
OF THE VOLUNTEER GAME.

SO GOD WHEN WE PRAY, FOR THE FIREMAN’S CARE,

INCLUDE THE LADIES WHO WERE ALSO THERE.

AMEN
