When I am called to duty God
where flames may rage;

Give me the strength to save some life,
whatever the age;

Help me embrace a little child
before it is too late;

To 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 lose my life;

Please bless with your protecting hand,
my children and my wife.
