Kyle A. Dugger for his distinguished service to the Manhasset-Lakeville
Fire Department

WHEREAS, The firefighters of New York State are renowned throughout the
Nation; their reputation is synonymous with excellence in the arduous
field of fire protection and prevention; and

firefighter has been the cornerstone of our great Nation's efforts to
spare us from the ravages of fire; and
WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is proud to commend Outgoing dedicated
Chief of Department Kyle A. Dugger for his distinguished service to the
Manhasset-Lakeville Fire Department as he is honored at the Department's
Annual Installation Dinner, to be held at the Marriott Hotel in Union-
dale on Saturday, April 16, 2011; and
WHEREAS, Kyle A. Dugger, of Company 3, was Deputy Chief of the Manhas-
set-Lakeville Fire Department from 2003-2010 and has ably, and with
distinction, served as Chief of Department from 2010-2011; and
WHEREAS, Volunteer firefighters and fire departments not only provide
the critical service of fire protection but also engage in other activ-
ities of great benefit and importance to the communities they serve; and
WHEREAS, It takes a special dedication, a strong desire to help others
and a tireless sense of community to forsake precious time with family
and friends to respond to the signal that a neighbor is in need; Outgo-

years of devoted service, he has heroically performed, above and beyond
the call of duty, those responsibilities which define the task of fire
protection; and
WHEREAS, Firefighters exemplify the power of human compassion and the
strength of the American spirit through actions of the most heroic
magnitude; their sacrifices and their selfless dedication merit the
tribute and recognition of all citizens of their community, their State
and their nation; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commend Outgoing dedicated Chief of Department Kyle A. Dugger for his
exemplary and distinguished service to the Manhasset-Lakeville Fire
Department and his community; and be it further
