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. |
Even though volunteer
firefighters do not live and
work in a firehouse like career
firefighters, they carry out the
same kinds of emergency response
duties and non-emergency tasks. |
Emergency firefighting duties are both challenging and physical. In emergency situations, volunteer firefighters should expect to extinguish and prevent fires as well as administer first aid. |
Duties also include rescuing victims from cars or buildings... |
...carrying fire hoses up stairs or ladders, breaking down doors, and water rescues! |
Brush Fires |
|
Routine maintenance is very important |
|
Volunteer firefighters usually perform all of these tasks while wearing heavy protective clothing in dangerous, smoky and hot environments. |
|
The equipment you see isn't cheap or free. The volunteers need your help (the community) to raise funds so they can purchase life and property saving equipment. Support their fundraisers throughout the year. | |
To active duty fire fighters, rescue
personnel, fire police, AND those of you who work for the carnival

Fire Police are volunteer members of a fire department who provide police services at a fire, accident or other emergency scene, or at a non-emergency event when additional manpower is needed to supplement local police. These services may include traffic control, crowd control, scene security and other duties as needed. Thank You for your service too! | |
