    A Fire Fighters Prayer

    When our shift begins at the break of day.
    I ask the Lord that you would go before us.
    What ever we are called upon to do.
    We are comfident you will be our strength.
    For those unfortunate ones who find their selves
    facing the unthinkable flames that would engulf
    their lives.
    We humbly ask that you would give us the priviiledge
    to assist them to safety.
    Above all,We ask that you would give us wisdom to
    know what to do,and when to do it,and send you
    Angels to show us the way.
    In the midst of the flames,if we should be taken,This
    is our request of you.
    Please be the Father to our children,and the Provider for
    our wifes,
    In "Jesus" Name,,Amen
    We need a poem board,thought you fire fighters may like this ,,,bt

    Glad to have you as a friend Brenda, You've got alot of duties at the firehouse. How big is the department total with all the firefighters?
    I've been on a couple of different departments but never a combination dept. I'm sure that is a challenge.
    We have another question on the "Common Sense Firefighting" about roof ventilation on commercial buildings, check it out.

    We have an explorer froup here and in the Suburb of Chicago where I started in the fire service. It's a great program. They say the way the first year is for a person in the fire service is the way they will be for the rest of their career. If we get them interested and working hrd they will be like that the rest of theri time. I know it affected me that way. We put up another question the "Common Sense Firefighting " page about roof operations, check it. I look forward to see the FD pictures also.
    Take care Jim Mason Chgo FD
