Fire fighter’s duty, not religion, is what matters

I was a volunteer fireman for 29 years, 12 years as chief, now retired. Never once did I, or anyone on the department, stop to find out what religion the person in need believed in, if any. We responded, did our job. Never once did the person in need ask what religion, if any, we believed in.
If my house is on fire, if I am in an accident, or having a heart attack, I do not care who answers my call or what (symbol) is painted on the truck. God bless them all.
