A FIREMAN'S PRAYER

When I am called to duty, God, whenever flames may rage, Give me the 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 efficiently to put the fire out. I want to fill my call and give the best in me, To guard my every neighbor 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.

EMT's Prayer

GOD ... Grant me the ability to give emergency care. With skillful hands, knowledgeable mind, and tender loving care. Help me deal with everything, when lives are on the line. To see the worst, administer aid, and ease a worried mind. So help me as I go today, accept what fate may be. Touch these hands, use this mind, help this E.M.T.
