SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 109
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize Jon Ferrell and Michael Garcia of Abilene for their |
|
heroic actions in rescuing the victim of a fire; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, On the morning of July 12, 2017, a fire broke out |
|
in the second-floor apartment of Ashley Hardy and her family; |
|
civilians Jon Ferrell and Michael Garcia were the first to arrive |
|
at the scene, and disregarding their own safety, they entered the |
|
burning apartment; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The two men, without the benefit of firefighting |
|
equipment, braved smoke and flames to reach Ashley Hardy, who had |
|
been overcome by the heat and smoke; they successfully removed |
|
her from the apartment to safety; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The quick thinking and decisive action of these |
|
men more than likely saved the life of Ashley Hardy, and it is |
|
truly fitting that they receive special recognition for their |
|
selfless deed; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
|
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commend Jon Ferrell and |
|
Michael Garcia on the courage they demonstrated by rescuing a |
|
victim in the midst of a dangerous, life-threatening situation; |
|
and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
them as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. |
