We lost a brother firefighter Monday night.
While this is a few counties south of me, I had the oppertunity to work with these men and women a few years back.
Capt. Matthew Porcari fell through when the floor collapsed. Another firefighter, Lt. Daniel Gavin was able to escape and was taken to Upstate medical burn unit in Syracuse. Lt. Gavin was released late yesterday so one prayer was already answered.
God has a new angel to welcome home, we pray that the family finds the strength they need to go on.
Also pray for the brothers and sisters that are left to cope with the loss of one of their own.
God bless you Capt. Porcari, thank you, and rest easy brother....we will take it from here.
Firefighter's prayer:
When I'm 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 is too late
or save an older person from
the horror of that fate
Enable me to be alert
to 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 neighbor and
protect his property
And if according to your will
I have to lose my life
bless with your protecting hand
my children and my wife.
