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.

Delft Square

Yesterday Delft Square caught fire! I was one of the many responders to go fight the big blaze! Since I was involved in it I didn't get the chance to take pictures during. But there are many pictures on the different news websites. I took these today at 2pm. A lot of damage!!! I know a lot of people were not happy about the weather yesterday, but as firefighers we were glad. It made a big difference! Give thanks to God!!!




Not often do you look IN windows to see the sky.




Our Ladder Truck ready to hit any flare ups with water.


Our first out Engine and Chief's Command rig.






One of our FF's on the Ladder.


The windows the fire first shot out of.






The north-west corner.


The back side in the alley.


Above the Hallmark store.


The professional cleaners cleaning the Hallmark store where there was a lot of smoke and water damage, but luckily no fire damage.


The alley view again.


Setting up above the Hallmark store to spray more water.
