When I am 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's 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 the fire out. I want to fill my calling and

To give the best in me, To guard my every neighbor

And protect his property. And if according to your will

I have to lose my life, Please bless with your protecting hand,

My children and my wife.

Bill Halstead was celebrating his 50th anniversary as a member of Sandy Hook Volunteer Fire & Rescue Company when this photo was taken in January 2015. Halstead joined the company the day he turned 16. —Bee file photo
