To be officially apart of the City Of Grand Rapids Fire Department, you will need to formally be congratulated, introduced, and then publicly recite the Oath of Honor, as seen below:
"I recognize the badge
of my office as a symbol of
public faith and trust,
and I accept so long as I am true
to the ethics of the fire service.
I will constantly strive to achieve the objectives
and ideals that the fire service instills,
dedicating myself to the saving of life,
preventing and suppressing fires
and performing other duties enacted
and placed up to me."
This is a pledge that you will withhold, and be held accountable to stick too. By going against the Firefighter Oath of Honor, will result in a removal from your duties as a GRFD firefighter. |
