This past month the brotherhood of fire fighters has lost many of its family. Like in any family when members pass away the hurt remains with the ones left behind to carry on the work set forth. The members of Yorktown Heights Engine Company #1 extend their most heartfelt condolences to the families of our fallen brothers. I believe this little pray sums it up.
Fallen
Rest now my fallen brother
Lay soft your suffering back
Rest well and forever
Your memory shall not lack
Rest your tired hands
Wipe clean your weary brow
Rest with St. Florian
Your spirit now endowed
Rest here your breaking heart
We know you gave your all
Rest easy, you've done your part
You've answered your last call
Rest knowing that in god we sought
Oh lord, watch over another who just fell
Rest assured your troubled thought
As we ring the final bell.
