A FIREMAN'S PRAYER
When I am called to duty, GOD, where ever flames may rage, give me strength to save some one’s life, whatever be their age. Help me embrace a little child before it's 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 effectively put the fire out. I want to fill my calling and to give the best in me, to guard my every 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.
AMEN

This year we had a couple of Members Honored with various awards from the Southwestern Association of Volunteer Firemen and the Western New York Volunteer Firemen's Association. Assistant Chief Tony Everetts was awarded Firefighter of the Year for a rescue of a person from a burning building. Life Member Terry Everetts was recognized for his 50+ Years of Service in the Fire Department. Assistant Chief Allan Everetts was recognized for his 10 Years of Service to Fire Department. The Southwestern also recognized Cattaraugus County Sheriff Deputy Tyler Taylor with a President's Award for assisting Assistant Chief Everetts with the rescue. These awards are normally presented at the Annual Conventions but COVID changed that. Southwestern Officials presented the awards at our September Monthly Meeting and the Western Officials presented at our October Meeting. Congratulations to Tony, Terry, Allan and Tyler.
AN EMS PRAYER
As I perform my Duty Lord, whatever be the call, help to guide and keep me safe from dangers big and small. I want to serve and do my best no matter what the scene. I pledge to keep my skills refined, my judgement quick and keen. This calling to give of myself most do not understand, but I stand ready all the time to help my fellow man. To have the chance to help a child restore his laugh with glee, a word of Thanks I might not hear, but knowing is enough for me. The Praise of men is fine for some, but I feel truly blessed, That you, OH LORD, have chosen me to serve in EMS
AMEN
