watch over all Firefighters. Protect them from harm in the performance of their duty
to extinguish fire, save lives and preserve property. Lord, help them to protect us day and night. Keep them Lord in Your Loving Care
for their calling in life is dangerous. Give them strength and courage in their daily work
and always protect these brave men and women
in the Fire Service. Grant them, O Lord, Your Blessings and Graces,
now and always. Amen -----
