"You might be a firefighter

if your kids are afraid to get into waterfights with you."

 

"Firefighters save hearts and homes."

 

"Firefighters are hot stuff."

 

"Hug a firefighter and feel warm all over."

 

"If you think it's tough being a firefighter,

try being a firefighter's wife."

 

"What you call a hero, I call just doing my job."

 

"Firefighting is one of the few professions left

that still makes housecalls."

 

"The hero is commonly the simplest and obscurest of men."

 

"A firefighter doesn't preach the brotherhood of man; he lives it."

 

"Safety doesn't happen by accident."

 

A Firefighter's Prayer

When flames are hot and raging,

Lord, let your cool winds blow.

Guide the ones within my care;

watch over those who wait.

Grant me bold decisiveness;

protect me from delays.

Keep your living water everflowing

through my life.

Give me understanding when

my heart respond with, "Why?"

Help me trust your timing;

I dedicate to you these hands,

this life, this servant heart,

and all the work I do.
