WHEREAS, National Volunteer Week is taking place from | ||
April 16 to 22, 2023, and this occasion provides a welcome | ||
opportunity to recognize the many volunteer firefighters across | ||
the Lone Star State; and | ||
WHEREAS, Volunteer firefighters serve in both rural and | ||
urban communities throughout the state, performing such duties | ||
as fire suppression, emergency medical aid and rescue, hazardous | ||
material response, and training and public education; these | ||
highly trained individuals are members of more than 1,000 fire | ||
departments, and they provide over 80 percent of the fire | ||
services in Texas; and | ||
WHEREAS, In addition to offering vital emergency services, | ||
volunteer fire departments contribute to their communities by | ||
hosting open house events and building relationships with area | ||
residents; many volunteer firefighters also participate in a | ||
variety of service organizations; and | ||
WHEREAS, These brave men and women give generously of their | ||
time and talents in order to protect the lives and property of | ||
their fellow citizens, and they are indeed deserving of special | ||
recognition; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend volunteer firefighters for their | ||
outstanding service and extend to them sincere gratitude and best | ||
wishes for the future. | ||
Flores, Springer | ||
