R E S O L U T I O N
         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 88th Texas 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 by the
  Texas Senate.
