Darien Volunteer Fire Company

A Fireman’s Prayer
When I am called to duty, God
Where ever flames may rage,
Give me strength to save some life
Whatever be its age.

Help me to 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,
Please bless with your protecting hand
My children and my wife.
