Volunteer Firefighters

I never know when the tones will sound
Making my heart race and pound
Leaving my family with a shout GOOD BYE
Gone again, they don't know where or why

It could be a fire, or just an Alarm
But we will be there, to keep you from harm
We want you to know you are never alone
We will pull you to safety and save your home

Some people call us basement savers
And yet we still respond, to help those neighbors
We may not get paid, for doing this chore
Bet we do it better then anyone before.

Even if fire strikes in the middle of the night
We will be there to win the fight
The fire could turn out to be an all-nighter
But that is the life of a Volunteer Firefighter

We train all the time, on a regular basis
The reward for us is to bring smiles to sad faces
So even when disaster is near
We will be there to wipe away your tears

So when things are at there worst and you don't know what to do
You can always call on us. We will see you through
And if all we can do, is make your life a little Brighter
We want you to know this is the job of a VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER
