Attended the the Escanaba Twp. Christmas Party. Loads of fun and lots of good things going on as people enjoyed their time. These men and women risk their lives to help the community. They respond from everything ranging from car accidents to house fires. They are walking in the snow searching for lost ones or breaking down doors to help those in desperate need.
Presently the department is in need of a grass truck so if there are any companies that have a few corporate dollars you may want throw them this way. A new truck will cost around $100K from what I heard. Esc. Township Page and Escanaba Twp. Fire Department Facebook. If you can't donate but want to be involved, go through training, and become part of a dedicated team of firefighters give the department a call.
A few things I won on raffle.
The Firefighters Prayer (History)
When I am called to duty, God, whenever flames may rage; Give me the strength to save some life, whatever be its age.
Help me 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 to give the best in me,
To guard my every neighbor and protect their property.
And if, according to my fate, I am to lose my life;
Please bless with your protecting hand my children and my wife.
