SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 96
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
join Texans across the state in expressing pride and admiration
for the heroism exhibited by Kyle Sulak; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Sulak, a third-year student at the Texas
College of Osteopathic Medicine, was leaving his home when he
heard cries for help from a nearby neighbor, whose hands and legs
were on fire as he fled his house; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Sulak had managed to extinguish the flames
using water from an outdoor faucet when he heard the man's young
daughter calling for help from an upstairs window; he instructed
his wife to call 9-1-1 and rushed back to the house; he
encountered the man's son standing frozen in the entryway and was
able to calm him down enough to get him to help his sister escape;
he then led the neighbor's mother from the kitchen to safety
outside; and
WHEREAS, After ensuring that no one else was in danger, Mr.
Sulak reentered the house and put out the fire; he also kept cold
water on the man's burns until help arrived; and
WHEREAS, As a result of his coolheadedness and remarkable
poise, his ability to prioritize, and his quick response, Mr.
Sulak prevented what might have been grievous loss of life and
property; he is truly deserving of recognition for his heroic
action; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
83rd Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commend Kyle Sulak
on his quick thinking and calm action and extend its appreciation
to this admirable young man; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
him as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate.
Davis
