BY: Senator BORRELLO

        COMMEMORATING   the   100th   Anniversary  of  the
        Lakeville Volunteer Fire Department

  WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is proud  to  commemorate  the  100th
Anniversary  of the Lakeville Volunteer Fire Department and to honor its
past and present firefighting members for 100 years of  fire  protection
to the citizens of Lakeville, New York, and its surrounding communities;
and

  WHEREAS,   Fire  departments  are  an  integral  part  of  community
protection services in every locality of our State; during the past  100
years,  the  courageous  and  devoted  firefighters  of  Lakeville  have
valiantly responded to all types of fire emergencies and  have  won  the
praise and respect of the community which they serve; and

  WHEREAS,  The  Lakeville  Volunteer Fire Department was organized in
1920, and incorporated in 1921; the first fire chief was Otto  Marschke,
Sr.; and

  WHEREAS,  The first fire house was located on Stone Hill; in 1951, a
new fire house was built at the present day  location,  and  a  training
grounds  building  was  constructed  on Stone Hill Road and completed in
1970; and

  WHEREAS, With a membership of dedicated firefighters, for 24 hours a
day, for 365 days a year, for 100 years,  whenever  the  alarm  sounded,
these  noble  volunteers  left  their homes and went to the aid of their
neighbors; and

  WHEREAS, The brave firefighters  of  the  Lakeville  Volunteer  Fire
Department  are  prepared to risk their lives every day to help save the
lives of others and to protect homes and property from  the  destruction
caused by fire; and

  WHEREAS,  In  addition to the skill and devoted service demonstrated
by individual firefighters,  the  Lakeville  Volunteer  Fire  Department
reflects  the  history and development of firefighting over the past 100
years; and

  WHEREAS, This Legislative Body cannot express  sufficient  gratitude
to those devoted individuals who recognize that the preservation of life
and property is a sacred responsibility and who make that responsibility
their own by serving as firefighters; and

  WHEREAS,  It  is  the  sense of this Legislative Body that we should
give special recognition to  those  who  work  so  assiduously  for  the
betterment  of  their  communities,  and acknowledge publicly the heroic
good works performed by the volunteer fire  departments  of  this  great
Empire State, their officers and auxiliaries; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
proudly commemorate the 100th Anniversary  of  the  Lakeville  Volunteer
Fire Department; and be it further


  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to the Lakeville Volunteer Fire Department.
