BY: M. of A. Sillitti

        COMMENDING  Emma  Nadel upon the occasion of being
        the first female elected to the office of Captain of
        Flower Hill Hose Company No. 1, Port Washington Fire
        Department

  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 commend Emma Nadel
upon the occasion of being the first female elected  to  the  office  of
Captain  of  Flower  Hill  Hose  Company  No.  1,  Port  Washington Fire
Department; and

  WHEREAS, Following in the footsteps of her late  father  Firefighter
James  Nadel,  Emma  Nadel joined the Port Washington Fire Department at
the young age of 17; and

  WHEREAS, Throughout the last seven years, Emma  Nadel  quickly  rose
through the ranks holding every line officer position within Flower Hill
Hose  Company  No.  1; with her recent election to her new role, Captain
Nadel will oversee fire suppression duties in one  of  the  largest  and
busiest fire departments in New York State; and

  WHEREAS,  Captain  Emma Nadel is committed to ensuring the safety of
both her fellow firefighters and the  community-at-large  and  that  the
department's  equipment  needs  are  met  by  providing various training
opportunities; and

  WHEREAS, Through the  wise  words  of  her  mother  Danielle  Nadel,
Captain  Emma  Nadel  proudly  believes she can accomplish anything, and
with this motto, she hopes to serve as a role model  for  all  women  to
pursue careers in male-dominated fields; 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;
Captain Emma Nadel is one such firefighter; throughout her  seven  years
of  devoted  service, this volunteer has 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
commend Emma Nadel upon the occasion of being the first  female  elected
to  the office of Captain in the Port Washington Fire Department, and to
wish her great success in her new position; and be it further

  RESOLVED, That a copy of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
transmitted to Captain Emma Nadel.
