Hubbardsville Fire Department

wherever flames may rage

Give me the strength to save a life

whatever be its age.

Help me 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

and hear the weakest shout

And quickly and efficiently

to put that fire out.

I want to fill my calling

to give the best in me

To guard my friend and neighbor

protect his property.

And if according to Your will

while on duty I must answer death's call

Bless with Your protecting hand

my family one and all.

A Tribute to our Volunteer Firemen

 By Mary Rhoades

Did you ever stop to think

When you hear the sirens blow,

That it could be you my friend

Whose home was all aglow:

No matter when our men are called

To face a dangerous fire,

They risk their lives and limbs for you,

with only thanks for hire.

So here's to the Firemen in every town

Who do their duties well,

We salute and thank you too,

Far more than words can tell.
