Engine 17 Rhome Volunteer Fire Dept.

 

THE FIREFIGHTER STOOD AND FACED HIS GOD, WHICH MUST ALWAYS COME TO PASS. HE HOPED HIS SHOES WERE SHINING, JUST AS BRIGHTLY AS HIS BRASS. "STEP FORWARD NOW, YOU FIREFIGHTER, HOW SHALL I DEAL WITH YOU? HAVE YOU ALWAYS TURNED THE OTHER CHEEK? TO MY CHURCH HAVE YOU BEEN TRUE?" THE FIREFIGHTER SQUARED HIS SHOULDERS AND SAID, "NO, LORD, I GUESS I AIN'T BECAUSE THOSE OF US WHO FIGHT FIRE, CAN'T ALWAYS BE A SAINT. I'VE HAD TO WORK MOST SUNDAYS, AND AT TIMES MY TALK WAS ROUGH, AND SOMETIMES I'VE BEEN VIOLENT, BECAUSE THE STREETS ARE AWFULLY TOUGH. BUT, I NEVER TOOK A PENNY, THAT WASN'T MINE TO KEEP. THOUGH I WORKED A LOT OF OVERTIME WHEN THE BILLS GOT JUST TOO STEEP, AND I NEVER PASSED A CRY FOR HELP, THOUGH AT TIMES I SHOOK WITH FEAR, AND SOMETIMES, GOD FORGIVE ME, I'VE WEPT UNMANLY TEARS. I KNOW I DON'T DESERVE A PLACE AMONG THE PEOPLE HERE THEY NEVER WANTED ME AROUND EXCEPT TO CALM THEIR FEARS. IF YOU'VE A PLACE FOR ME HERE, LORD, IT NEED NOT BE SO GRAND, I NEVER EXPECTED OR HAD TOO MUCH, BUT IF YOU DON'T, I'LL UNDERSTAND." THERE WAS A SILENCE ALL AROUND THE THRONE WHERE THE SAINTS HAD OFTEN TROD AS THE FIREFIGHTER WAITED QUIETLY, FOR THE JUDGMENT OF HIS GOD, "STEP FORWARD NOW YOU FIREFIGHTER, YOU'VE BORNE YOUR BURDENS WELL, WALK PEACEFULLY ON HEAVEN'S STREETS, YOU'VE DONE YOUR TIME IN HELL

About the Images

We of the support brigade hope that these few photos will give you an idea of what the Rhome Volunteer Fire Dept. and our firefighters are all about.

It's all about the community in one way or another...protecting, helping or the satisfaction of just sharing with those in the community.

 

 

The photos to the right are of the fire department's  newest addition to the equipment to be used in protecting our community. Equipment like this makes it easier to respond to and handle all calls received.
