The Firefighter's
Creed:
I
have no ambition in this world but one,
and
that is to be a FIREFIGHTER.
The
position may, in the eyes of some,
appear to be a lowly one,
but
we know the work
which a firefighter
has to do is to
believe that his is a noble calling.
There is an adage which says that:
"Nothing is destroyed, except by fire"
We
strive to preserve from destruction,
the
wealth of the world,
which is the product of the industry of men,
necessary for the comfort of both the rich & poor.
We
are the defenders from fire,
of
the art which has beautified the world,
the
product of the genius of men
and
the means of refinement of mankind.
But
above all, our proudest endeavor is...
to
save lives of men -
the
work of God Himself.
Under the impulse of such thoughts,
the
nobility of the occupation
thrills us and stimulates us to deeds of daring,
even
at the supreme sacrifice.
Such
consideration may not strike the average mind,
but
they are sufficient to fill to the limit
our
ambition in life and to make us
serve the general purpose of human society.
