LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION commending Outgoing Chief James Pitzer upon the
occasion of his designation for special recognition for his dedicated
service as Chief of 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
WHEREAS, Since the early days of "teapot steamers," the volunteer
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 Chief
James Pitzer upon the occasion of his designation for special recogni-
tion for his dedicated service as Chief of the Manhasset-Lakeville Fire
Department, Great Neck, New York; and
WHEREAS, Ex-Chief James Pitzer joined the Department in 1993 and has
ably served it as Company Secretary, 2nd Lieutenant, 1st Lieutenant,
Company Captain, Deputy Chief and, most recently, as Chief of Department
from 2012-2013; and
WHEREAS, Ex-Chief James Pitzer will be honored at the Department's
Annual Installation Dinner to be held at the Marriott Hotel in Uniondale
on Saturday, April 20, 2013; 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; James
Pitzer is such a firefighter; throughout 19 years of devoted service, he
has heroically performed; above and beyond the call of duty, those
responsibilities which define the task of fire protection; now, there-
fore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commend Ex-Chief James Pitzer for his distinguished service to the
Manhasset-Lakeville Fire Department and his community; and be it further
