21 years ago I decided to become a volly FF. Why, They had a great softball team and $1.00 bought you all the beer you could drink. Not a bad deal for an 18 year old drunk at the time
I took it up as a profession 11 years ago and have NEVER regretted the decision. I am currently a Lt and can proudly say that I have served as union president of our local for the past 7 years.

This is hanging on the wall of all our fire houses.............I take a look at once in awhile for a little perspective.
A Fireman's Prayer
When I am called to duty, God,
Whenever flames may rage;
Give me 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
To 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
My children and my wife.

CFD,
Just read about your loss. My Prayers go out to your brothers and the family of the fallen one. I have attended WAY too many of those funerals over my career.
I must say though, If you could choose a way to go out of this world and if you had to leave this world before your time, NO ONE, AND I MEAN, NO ONE can put together a service the way our great brotherhood can. 100's or even 1000's of Firefighters lined up to honor you, most who never even heard of you before. Then the comraderie afterwords at the coalation. Its just amazing
