THE FIREFIGHTERS CREED
I am proud to be a firefighter.
I revere that long line of expert firefighters who
by their devotion to duty and sacrifice of self,
have made it possible for me to be a member of a
service honored and respected, in good times and
bad, throughout the world.
I never, by word or deed, will bring reproach upon
the fair name of the fire service, nor permit others
to do so unchallenged.
I will cheerfully and willingly obey all lawful
orders.
I will always be on time to relieve,
and shall endeavor to do more,
rather than less, than my share.
I will always be at my station,
alert and attending to my duties.
I shall, so far as I am able,
bring to my seniors solutions, not problems.
I shall live joyously,
but always with due regard for the rights and
privileges of others.
I shall endeavor to be a model citizen in the
community in which I live.
I shall sell my life dearly to my enemy fire but give
it freely to rescue those in peril.
With God’s help,
I shall endeavor to be one of His noblest Works.
