\n\tWhen I am called to duty God
\n\twherever flames may rage
\n\tgive me strength to save a life whatever be its age<\/p>\n
\n\tHelp me to embrace a little child
\n\tbefore it is too late or save an older person from
\n\tthe horror of that fate<\/p>\n
\n\tEnable me to be alert
\n\tto hear the weakest shout
\n\tand quickly and efficiently to put the fire out<\/p>\n
\n\tI want to fill my calling and
\n\tto give the best in me
\n\tto guard my neighbor and protect his property<\/p>\n
\n\tAnd if according to your will
\n\tI have to lose my life
\n\tbless with your protecting hand
\n\tmy children and my wife.<\/p>\n
