This page is dedicated to my brothers in law.  They are both firefighters here in Texas.   Brent is a firefighter at the Naval Air Station-Joint Reserve Base in Fort Worth.   Doug is a firefighter and paramedic in Saginaw.

When I am called to duty,

God wherever flames may rage,

give me the strength to save some 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

put the fire out.

I want to fill my calling

and to give the best in me,

To guard my every neighbor

And if according to your will

I have to lose my life,

Please bless with your protecting hand

my children and my wife.
