When I am called to duty,
wherever flames may rage,
give me the strength to save some life,
whatever be their age.
Help me embrace a little child
before it is too late,
and to save an older person
from the horror of that fate.
Enable me to be alert
and hear the weakest shout,
and quickly and efficiently
to put the fire out.
I want to fill my calling
and give the best in me,
to guard my every neighbor
and protect their property.
And if I am to lose my life
according to my fate,
please bless with your protecting hand,
my children and my mate.
