When I am called to duty, God, 

wherever 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
put the fire out. 

I want to fill my calling 

and to 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 this day,
Please bless with your protecting 

hand my family this I pray.
