When I'm called to duty god
wherever flames may rage
give me strength to save a life
whatever be its age
Help me to 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
to 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 neighbour and
protect his property
And if according to your will
I have to lose my life
bless with your protecting hand
my children and my wife
"If Prometheus was worthy of the wrath of heaven for kindling
the first fire upon earth, how ought all the Gods to honour the men who
make it their professional business to put it out?"
This page is dedicated to the memory of all Fire
Fighters who made the ultimate sacrifice
We wish to thank Wayne Jasper of West

put the Firefighter's Creed on our own home page
Something special for firefighters
and their wives
