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.
