When I am called to duty, God
whenever flames may rage,
Give me the strength to save some life
Whatever be its age.

Help me to embrace a little child
Before it’s too late,
Or some 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 give the best in me,
To guard my neighbor
And protect his property.

And if according to Your will
I have to lose my life,
Please bless with Your protecting hand
My children and my wife


RIP  :'(

At least 18 of them were from the Granite Mountain Hotshot Crew from Prescott, AZ and also they are members of the Prescott Fire Department. A sad day for the firefighting community.
Here is a local news story link and a FB page in memory of the fallen firefighters.

Its a sad day when anyone dies, but what makes this tragedy even worse is the fact that these firefighters were members of a highly trained hot shot crew, who spent many hours, days, years training to avoid this kind incident,
RIP my firefighting brothers.
