FireFighting songs?

anyone out there have or know of any songs that either deal with firefighting directly or have words that could go with it. I am making a powerpoint at school and need some music.

Thanks, *****

"The Fireman" by Geaorge Strait is the first one that comes to mind.

Only thing that I can think of beside George's song is Ring of Fire, Johnny Cash. I'll chew on it...

maybe, I don't really like that one cause they're firefighters not firemen, firemen stoke fires in boilers, but I might use it. powerpoint covers several aspects of it I have amazing grace played from the bagpipes for the last part, that runs a list of 2006 LODD's. been working on it for a good while and hope for it to come out real good, just need some music for it

Thanks

Don't know any firefighting songs, but it is getting closer to Christmas. I bet you didn't know the three wise men were fire fighters. It's true. The Bible says they came from afar.

I'm not too sure about this one, but it might be worth checking out.
