In memory of the six firefighters
who lost their lives in the line of duty
on December 3, 1999.
May we all be as courageous when called apon.

The Firefighter's
Prayer
When I am called to
duty God
Wheneever 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 horror of that fate.
Enable me to be alert
And hear the weakest
shout,
And quickly and effectively
To put to the fire out.
I want to fill my calling
and
To give the best in
me,
To guard me every neighbour
and
Protect his property.
And if according to
my fate
I am to lose my life,
Please bless with your
protecting hand
My children and my wife.
