    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.

    hey this is a major problem in my town we even have people who dont yield to our trucks and you even get idiots who drive in front and behind the rigs when were backing up inot the house!!

    heres another one

    i tapped the hydrant during a recient job and a cop pulled up and blocked the road so no one could bet in the way of the 5 inch line. some dick herad drives around the cop onto a lawn and gets stuck in the wet grass. ive never seen a cop go off on someone and he wrote at least 16 tickets

    Im in the junior corps of bedford village, and I have to say i was appalled by the pics posted.  Pride, image vs. what?  safety?  is there even an argument there?  A firefighter dies every 3 days in the USA.  i dont know how many of those are related to calls, or just sheer stupidity, but i have a feeling that stupidity is part of it.  As much as I know im a newbie, im going to say you are an idiot if you choose to ride on the back of a piece of apparatus under any conditions.

    hey dave im also a probie at my dept. and i just gotta say that youtook the words right out of my mouth!!!

    PEOPLE DONT BE STUPID DEAD FIREFIGHTERS ARE NO USE ON THE FIREGROUND!! AND IF YOU WANT TO RIDE ON THE BACK OF A TRUCK JOIN THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS AND RIDE THE REFUSE TRUCKS!!! BECAUSE THATS WHAT YOU ARE GARBAGE!!!

    we reseltly discussed this topic in my depts last meeting and now there is a zero tolerence policy if any member attempting to ride on the steps will be suspended for 6 months and the second offence is being kicked out of the dept.

    people were firefighters not garbage men here and if u want to ride the step get a job at a refuse company cause thats were u belong!!!!

    at my dept they used to ride on the back step but that was a diffrent time when the trucks had running boards for that like our maxim pumper the new trucks are safer and they dont have those big running boards. and we outlawed all riding on the trucks without sitting and belted in. but if u belt or not its your choice.

    guys im a probie and i know that its not safe and if u do it you shouldnt be around a truck or a fire house. they should be in a corner with a dunce cap on
