METHODS:

As fire chaplains, our work is not limited to the area of fire departments. Firefighters, communities not victims of the devastating ravages of fire or other crisis happenings. We shall strive to help ease the sufferings of our fellow man wherever our paths shall lead. However, as a base for our work, we have chosen the Nation’s fire departments, firefighters, the acknowledged world’s most dangerous profession, and fire victims, whose suffering is that most beyond description.

By providing an effective fire chaplain service, first within these areas, our work will achieve the goal of serving God and humanity. By the nature of their work, firefighters need the help provided by a thoughtful, caring and effective fire chaplain’s program.
