A SENATE RESOLUTION
TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR GRIFFIN ALLISON, A LANCE CORPORAL WITH THE SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES FOR HIS HEROIC ACTIONS TO SAVE THE LIFE OF A DRIVER IN CHARLESTON COUNTY.
Whereas, the South Carolina Senate has learned with deepest gratitude that South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Lance Corporal Griffin Allison saved a driver from a burning car on December 14, 2020; and
Whereas, Lance Corporal Allison, a resident of Mt. Pleasant who has been with DNR for over seven years, was the first responder on the scene of a crash involving a pickup truck and dump truck on Highway 17 near the United States Post Office in Awendaw; and
Whereas, Lance Corporal Allison saw that the driver of the pickup truck was trapped in the vehicle when it started to catch fire. He and occupants of the dump truck were able to free and rescue the driver from his truck seconds before it was fully engulfed in flames; and
Whereas, quick action by Lance Corporal Allison to remove the driver from imminent danger saved the life of the driver, who only suffered minor injuries to his lower right arm; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate are appreciative and proud of the heroic actions of Griffin Allison, actions which remind us that the greatest natural resources of the Palmetto State are our citizens, like Griffin Allison, who put the welfare of others ahead of their own safety. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, recognize and honor Griffin Allison, a Lance Corporal with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources for his heroic actions to save the life of a driver in Charleston County.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Lance Corporal Griffin Allison.
