As a Fire Fighter and member of the Ontario Professional Fire Fighters Association, my fundamental duty is to serve humanity; to safeguard and preserve life and property against the elements of fire and disaster; and maintain a proficiency in the art and science of fire engineering.
I will never allow personal feelings, nor danger to self to deter me from my responsibilities as a Fire Fighter. I will at all times respect the property and rights of all people, the laws of my community and my country, and the chosen way of life of my fellow citizens. I recognize the badge of my office as a symbol of public faith, and I accept it as a public trust to be held so long as I am true to the ethics of the fire and emergency service. I will constantly strive to achieve these objectives and ideals, dedicating myself before God to my chosen profession - saving of life, fire prevention and fire suppression. AS A MEMBER OF THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FIRE FIGHTERS AND THE ONTARIO PROFESSIONAL FIRE FIGHTERS ASSOCIATION, I ACCEPT THIS SELF-IMPOSED AND SELF-ENFORCED OBLIGATION AS MY PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
