  ~In Memory of~
  
  Buffalo Firefighter Jonathan S. Croom
  and
  Lt. Charles W. "Chip" McCarthy, Jr.
  
  who perished early Monday morning in the line of duty.
  

  
  
  
  

  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.
