My sincere condolences to the Brothers and Sisters of the Philadelphia Fire Department, and to the friends and family members of those lost

Very tragic event and we certainly hope for the safe recovery of the others lost.

As we pray:
When I am called to duty God, whenever flames may rage,
Give me the strength to save some life whatever be it's age
Help me to embrace a little child before it's too late
Or some 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 our
I want to fill my calling and give the best in me
To guard my neighbor and protect his property
And if according to Your Will I have to lose my life
Please bless with Your Protecting Hand, my children and my wife.

"Pray for them as they go past - Every ride could be their Last"

Remember when they had that building collapse right across the street from Engine 43/Ladder 9 on Market Street several years ago? This sounds like the same situation. Evidently corruption is a longstanding tradition in the building inspection (L&I) department in Philly.
