Best Firefighters Poems

You endured the fire before the fire,
burning doubt thinking you wouldn't pass the test.
The sweltering summer days carrying heavy hoses,
that some of you firewomen thought you'd never lift.
Alarm bells ringing,
vibrating in your heart,
excited barking of the station Dalmatians.
Hook and ladders,
you steel your newly forged bravery,
quickly...

FireFighters Creed:

Alarms screaming.
Birds singing.
But her heart was bleeding.
I held her as she died.
CPR couldn't revive.
How could I save what God wanted taken 
away.
Is this how God repays ?
Maybe if I was a minute earlier.
If I didn't take that extra time getting out 
the drive.
I would...

A firefighters Tears

You see him on the sidelines but you can't see his eyes.
He's hoping no one's seeing the teardrops as he cries.

Arriving in just minutes they did their best no doubt.
But a child lost his life today before the fire got put out.

He found...

All I can think of is that dented firefighters helmet
As I recall that concrete and twisted steel tomb
Those dazed and dusty faces lost in disbelief
In the rubble of the fallen towers

Only moments ago, the planes assailed New York
Pulverizing the heart of the nation
Steel supports gave...

As I lie here on my bed tonight,
I thank the lord for his guiding light.
And letting me come home night after night,
When all those fires would go ablaze.
And for all those memories with my dear Kathy,
That I know she will carry for the rest of...

Fortune favors the bold
who climb up the ladder
in a fireman's outfit
to see what's the matter.

To the ones who wear gold
that ride into the night
to face the fiery blaze
and who displace their own fright.

At the drop of a dime
and at the ring of the bell
these heroes...

A touching version of "Winter Wonderland"  by Felix Bernard & Richard B. Smith.

Fire bells ring, We’re awake and listening
Rush to the trucks
All washed and glistening
We start out the bay
Tell Dispatch, “We are on the way.”
Its a Firefighter's Wonderland.

Dispatch advises, “Inside there is smoke.”
We bunker...

"The fire has crossed containment lines,
Dunns Road has just been breached,
Emergency vehicles have withdrawn,
You cannot be reached",
Local radio announces every minute,
Evacuation roads are shut,
Power and phones are all now down,
You're alone with the smoke and dust.

Then through the haze of black and red,
Fire cowlicks up...

MY HEART IS OVERWHELMED BY YOUR STRENGTH

We climb ladders, to saw limbs off of trees, They climb ladders, to save the limbs, only God can save for me. Is there any difference in weight, in His eyes, the arm or leg of a person, fhour legged animal, or a birds wing?...

Grandfather, Father, Son- three legends are:
they served their City service very well.
From 30s through the 80s, each a star;
as Firemen- many dangers each befell.

Three generations gladly took their stands;
not volunteers, but full-time, active shifts.
Grandfather in his open truck commands
the horses over cobblestones and drifts.

And next,...

Goosebumps
never fail to visit
whenever Emerald Society drums
call for a slow, steady, cadence
and bagpipers play Amazing Grace
at the funeral of a fallen hero.

Police and Firefighters 
who have offered us
first, their service
and then, their lives.

Honored by those who stood
shoulder to shoulder, loved ones,
and others like me who
get goosebumps....
