When I am called to duty, God, wherever flames may rage; 

Give me the strength to save some life, whatever be it's age. 

Help me embrace a little child before it is too late; 

Or save an older person from the horrors 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 Your will I am to give my life, 

Please bless with Your protecting hand, 

My children and my wife.
