Volunteer 24-7
The pager rings out, “there’s work to be done”.
We all know, someone’s dialled 9-1-1.
In the heat of day, or the dead of night.
It is never a good time, to start the fight.
Always willing to go, without a thought.
Hoping you’ve learned, from the training taught.
House fire, car accident, or VSA.
We will not falter, or be led astray.
With all our hearts pounding, and “air packs” donned.
Smelling adrenaline, ….brotherly bond.
The scene could be dark, without a sound.
No smoke, or body, ever be found.
Mayhem and chaos, the next roster call.
Flames and death greet us, we’ve seen it all.
Roll up the hose and gear, or pack the “jaws”
Trying to determine, “what was the cause?”
All in a days work, and always without a fear.
From your local firefighter….a volunteer.
