| But first, let's talk about "why" there is a carnival | |
 It's all about the Catawissa Hose Company #1's volunteers who fight fires, protect your property, and risk their lives to save yours.... |
A Fireman's Prayer He stares in the face of death, without a second thought to save that one special life, that he so bravely sought He has walked as close to "hell on earth," as any man could do and he's so proud of the job he did, for people he never knew He puts his life on the line, every time duty calls always doing what needs to done, without even a pause He is a fireman with overwhelming pride never afraid to take a chance. When saving someone’s life often he says, "it's my job" But we really know that he is very special, and always ready to go So when you hear the sirens wail, or see the flashing lights stand aside and look with pride, he's going to save a life. |
