Please take a moment and pray for these fine and courageous young men. Who gave their lives to save others in need. We give thanks for all firemen who lay down their life every day. We tend to take for granted the impact of the importance of those who are first responders.
May God be with the fallen firefirghters's families. As these brave men attempted to fight one of the greatest bushfires in Arizona. All 19 firefighters killed belonged to the Granite Mountain Hotshots crew headquartered in Prescott, Arizona about 80 miles from Phoenix. The Yarnell Hill Fire is the deadliest fire in Arizona history and largest firefighter loss since 9/11. The firefighters were caught when the fire suddenly changed direction and trapped them as they tried to deploy their emergency fire shelters

A Fireman's Prayer
When I'm called to duty God, wherever flames may rage, give me strength to save a life whatever be its age
Help me to 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, to hear the weakest shout and quickly and efficiently to put the fire out
I want to fill my calling and to give the best in me to guard my neighbor and protect his property
And if according to your will I have to lose my life bless with your protecting hand my children and my wife.
