FIREMENS PRAYER
When I am called to duty, God
Wherever flames may rage
Give me strength to save a life
Whatever be its age.
Let 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
To give the best in me,
To guard my friend and neighbor
And protect their property.
And, if, according to your will,
I have to lose my life
Please bless, with your protecting hand,
My family and my wife.

its a fact that fires are hot,
but here's proof that they can be dirty too:
1 This is a big one.
2 It's long, hard and pumps like crazy
3 Hard Suction
4 Firefighter are always in heat.
5 Your hosebed or mine?
6 She's hot tonight, boys!
7 Being "first-in" isn't necessarily a good thing.
8 Taking your girl for a ride in the pumper
9 Dressing from head to toe in rubber
10 Wanna slide down my pole?
11 Firefighters have the longest hoses.
12 A "quickie" is anythig under two hours
13 We need to hit it with a large, heavy stream.
14 She was exposed to a nasty backdraft
15 Rescuing helpless pussies from trees.
16 Three words - Front mount pump.
17 Watch out! She's gonna blow!
18 Forcing your way into a hot entrance
19 Firefighters "hump hose" all day long.
20 We're gonna need a little more head pressure
