A Fireman's Prayer He stares in the face of death, without a second thought to save that one special life, that he so bravely sought He has walked as close to "hell on earth," as any man could do and he's so proud of the job he did, for people he never knew He puts his life on the line, every time duty calls always doing what needs to done, without even a pause He is a fireman with overwhelming pride never afraid to take a chance. When saving someone’s life often he says, "it's my job" But we really know that he is very special, and always ready to go So when you hear the sirens wail, or see the flashing lights, stand aside and look with pride, he's going to save a life. |
Even though volunteer
firefighters do not live and
work in a firehouse like career
firefighters, they carry out the
same kinds of emergency response
duties and non-emergency tasks. |
 Emergency firefighting duties are both challenging and physical. In emergency situations, volunteer firefighters should expect to extinguish and prevent fires as well as administer first aid. |
 |
 |
 Brush Fires |
 ...carrying fire hoses up stairs or ladders, breaking down doors, and water rescues! |
 Duties also include rescuing victims from cars or buildings... |
 |
 |
 Routine maintenance is very important |
 |
 Volunteer firefighters usually perform all of these tasks while wearing heavy protective clothing in dangerous, smoky and hot environments. |
| The equipment you see isn't cheap or free. The volunteers need your help (the community) to raise funds so they can purchase life and property saving equipment. Support their fundraisers throughout the year. | |

 The Fire Police also volunteer their time! Thank you for what you do! |
Fire Police are volunteer members of a fire
department who provide police services at a fire, accident or other
emergency scene, or at a non-emergency event when additional manpower
is needed to supplement local police. These services may include traffic
control, crowd control, scene security and other duties as needed.
Thank You for your service too!
The Fire Police always give us a warm welcome! |

| Thank you again to all the fire fighters, volunteers helping to raise funds, first responders, the fire police, and others who help make the Valley Chemical's Carnival fundraiser a success! | |
