"I have no ambition in this world but one and that is to be a fireman. The position may in the eyes of some appear to be a lowly one; But those who know the work which a fireman has to do believe his is a noble calling. Our proudest moment is to save...lives. Under the impulse of such thoughts the nobility of the occupation thrills us and stimulates us to deeds of daring even of supreme sacrifice."

Edward F. Croker
Chief of Department FDNY
1899-1911

A FIREMAN'S PRAYER When I am called to duty, God Wherever flames may rage Give me the strength to save a 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 calling and To give the best in me To guard my every neighbor And protect their property And if according to your will I have to lose my life Please bless with your protecting hand My children and my wife.
