A house RESOLUTION

 

to recognize and honor Chief Andrew H. Martin of the West Chester Fire Department for his exceptional service to the department and to congratulate him on a half century of helping the Chester community.

 

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciates the dedicated service that Chief Andrew Martin has provided for the West Chester Fire Department and his community.  Born May 13, 1956, Andrew Martin joined the West Chester Fire Department as a volunteer on May 13, 1974, his eighteenth birthday.  Chief Martin served with his father, James Hush Martin, Sr., a charter member of the department, and with two brothers, a nephew, and his son, Jason A. Martin; and

 

Whereas, he has spent countless hours servicing the fire trucks and was able to assist with servicing trucks of neighboring fire departments due to his expertise.  Since 1989, he has served as the Chester County Rural Fire Commissioner for District 4.  Chief Martin frequently spent more than several hours away from home fighting fires, and in the past, he would leave his day job to help in fighting fires; and

 

Whereas, Chief Martin earned several certifications from the South Carolina Fire Academy.  Immediately after joining the department, he took the 1121, 1131, and Structural I Fire Fighting classes.  In 2006, he completed the new Fire Fighting I and Fire Fighting II classes, as well as several Incident Command classes; and

 

Whereas, the South Carolina House or Representatives is grateful for five decades of excellent service that Chief Martin has given to his community and the West Chester Fire Department.  Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

 

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor Chief Andrew H. Martin of the West Chester Fire Department for his exceptional service to the department and congratulate him on a half century of helping the Chester community.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Chief Andrew H. Martin.
