Inscription.
”To live in the hearts of those left behind is not to die”

In fond remembrance, we dedicate this memorial to those New York City Firefighters who as residents of Staten Island gave their lives in the line of duty while serving their fellow New Yorkers.

A Firefighters’ (sic) Prayer
When I am called to duty, God,
Wherever flame may rage,
Give me strength to save some life
Whatever be its age.
Help me 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
And hear the weakest shout
And quickly and efficiently
To put the fire out.
I want to fill my calling
And 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.
