SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 78
WHEREAS, Paramedic Brandon Daugherty of the Wise County
Office of Emergency Management has been named the recipient of a
Life Saving Medal in recognition of his role in providing medical
assistance to two Fort Worth residents involved in a vehicle
accident; and
WHEREAS, On February 2, 2022, Brandon Daugherty responded
to a traffic incident in which a car lost control on an iced-over
bridge and plunged into the Trinity River; the passenger was
pulled from the vehicle by a witness, and the driver remained
trapped in the car when it sank; a Wise County swift water
technician swam into the frigid river and extracted the man from
the vehicle; Mr. Daugherty helped provide lifesaving assistance
on the shore, and the man rescued from the submerged car was
transported to a hospital and is expected to fully recover; and
WHEREAS, Every day, the first responders of Texas are
called to the aid of individuals in need, and through his swift
and decisive action in this critical situation, Brandon
Daugherty upheld the highest standards of his profession and
helped to save the life of a fellow citizen; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
Legislature, hereby congratulate Brandon Daugherty of the Wise
County Office of Emergency Management on his receipt of a Life
Saving Medal and extend to him sincere best wishes for the
future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
prepared for Mr. Daugherty as an expression of high regard from
the Texas Senate.
