In Memory of

Chief Hendrix M. Fowler, III

September 11, 2005

When I am called to duty, God
Wherever flames may rage
Give me the strength to save some life,
whatever be it's 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
to give the best in me;
To guard my every neighbor and
guard his property
and if, according to your will
I have to lose my life;
Please bless with your protecting hand
those I've left behind.
