BY: M. of A. Ra

        HONORING ex-Chief Ronald Magarie upon the occasion
        of  his designation for special recognition after 45
        years of dedicated service  to  the  West  Hempstead
        Fire  Department  Victory  Chemical  Engine and Hose
        Company No. 1

  WHEREAS, Citizens across our State and Nation are  inspired  by  and
indebted  to  our  noble  volunteer firefighters who exhibit courage and
bravery every day in the course of their duties; and

  WHEREAS,  Volunteer  Firefighters  exemplify  the  power  of   human
compassion  and  the  strength of the American spirit through actions of
the  most  heroic  magnitude;  their  sacrifices  and   their   selfless
dedication  merit  tribute and recognition by all citizens of this great
country; and

  WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly  proud  to  honor  ex-Chief
Ronald  Magarie  upon  the  occasion  of  his  designation  for  special
recognition after 45 years of dedicated service to  the  West  Hempstead
Fire  Department  Victory  Chemical  Engine and Hose Company No. 1 to be
celebrated at its Annual Installation of Officers Dinner at Sand  Castle
in Franklin Square, New York, on Saturday, February 29, 2020; and

  WHEREAS,  In  1919,  a  group  of  West  Hempstead  residents joined
together to form the West Hempstead  Fire  Department  Victory  Chemical
Engine  and Hose Company No. 1, offering fire protection services to the
residents; since its inception, the volunteer membership has served  the
community with care, compassion, and pride; and

  WHEREAS,  Ex-Chief  Ronald  Magarie  joined  the West Hempstead Fire
Department Victory Chemical Engine and Hose  Company  No.  1  over  four
decades ago; and

  WHEREAS, Firefighters unwaveringly serve our great State with pride,
valor,  and integrity; these respected volunteers are often the first to
respond to an emergency, whether the emergency is a fire, transportation
accident, natural disaster, act of terrorism, medical crisis,  or  spill
of hazardous materials; and

  WHEREAS,  It  takes  a  special  dedication, a strong desire to help
others and a tireless sense of community to forsake precious  time  with
family  and friends to respond to the signal that a neighbor is in need;
Ronald Magarie is one such firefighter; throughout 45 years  of  devoted
service,  this volunteer heroically performed, above and beyond the call
of  duty,  those  responsibilities  which  define  the  task   of   fire
protection; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
honor ex-Chief Ronald Magarie upon the occasion of his  designation  for
special  recognition  after  45  years  of dedicated service to the West
Hempstead Fire Department Victory Chemical Engine and Hose  Company  No.
1; and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to ex-Chief Ronald Magarie.
