Thanks Captain Jeffrey W. Cutler for 22 years of service.
It's hard to believe but the day has come that Jeff is an
inactive firefighter; I truly believe that he will always be a 'fire finghter' at heart. I was drown to Jeff's strong dedication to the fire department and the community.
There are many hows lives you have touched; if they know it of not.
A Fireman's Life
A fireman's life is one big surprise,
Usually he laughs, sometimes he cries.
There's always stress, toil and strife,
Hoping he's good enough to save just one life.
His wife understands, when he misses dinner,
If he runs out of church, don't think he's a sinner.
Answering a call, is tops on his list,
Regretting each one he's ever missed.
He tries and tries, but can't make us see,
The happiest men, still work for free.
Jumping from bed, fighting the cold,
Knowing what to do, without being told.
He rushes to the station, jumps on a truck.
Depending on skill, never on luck. Putting his life on the line,
for an unknown friend,Hoping and praying, it won't be the end.
"The Bravest Men in the World", the title is fitting,
They all do their best, never come close to quitting.
Next time you see them, all their lights blinking,Take just a minute,
to think what they're thinking.
It's a hard job, so show them you care,And help them out, with a little prayer.
