his heroism in saving the life of a City of Beacon resident

WHEREAS, Citizens across our State and Nation are indebted to, and
inspired by, our noble firefighters who exhibit courage and commitment
every day in the course of performing their duties; and
WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize the
caring concern and heroic acts of those exemplary citizens who take
prompt and appropriate action in emergency situations and, in so doing,
preserve the lives of others; and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concerns, and in full accord with its long-
standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to pay trib-
ute to Firefighter Patrick Rose for his heroism in saving the life of a
City of Beacon resident; and
WHEREAS, On an early morning in August 2013, a fire burned in the
kitchen of a basement apartment and a man lay unconscious in his living
room; and
WHEREAS, Firefighter Patrick Rose arrived at the scene and ran to the
back of the building to assist another firefighter who was already
inside; Firefighter Patrick Rose assisted in pulling the unconscious man
from the burning building to safety; and
WHEREAS, Firefighter Patrick Rose, through his spontaneous and heroic
actions, demonstrated his character and his compassion for the welfare
of others, personifying, by virtue of his behavior, the collective
concern of ordinary citizens across the community of the State of New
York who voluntarily respond when others are in need of help; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to pay
tribute to Firefighter Patrick Rose for his heroism in the line of duty;
and be it further
