Firefighters Battle Huge Los Angeles Blaze (New Building Goes Up In Smoke Alert)

The Fireman's Prayer always comes to mind:

When duty calls me, oh Lord,
Wherever Flames may rage,
Give me the 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 oh Lord, guide my every move,
For life is so precious,
Please don't let us lose.

I want to fill my calling and
To give the best in me
To guard my every neighbor
And protect their property

And if according to thy will,
That I must give my life,
Then with thy protecting hand my Lord,
I pray thee, protect my children and my wife.

Amen

May God keep our firefighters and first aid responders and their families safe as they attend to the noble calling of saving our lives and property.
