BY: M. of A. McMahon

HONORING Firefighter Carl Geib upon the occasion
of his designation for special recognition after 50
years of dedicated service to the North Bailey Fire
Company

WHEREAS, Citizens across our State and Nation are inspired by and
indebted to our noble volunteer firefighters who exhibit courage and
bravery every day in the course of their duties; and

WHEREAS, Volunteer 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 tribute and recognition by all citizens of this great
country; and

WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to honor Firefighter
Carl Geib upon the occasion of his designation for special recognition
after 50 years of dedicated service to the North Bailey Fire Company to
be celebrated at its Annual Installation of Officers banquet on
Saturday, January 25, 2020, at The Westin Buffalo; and

WHEREAS, In 1969, Carl Geib joined the North Bailey Fire Company,
and as a dedicated member for the past five decades, he has held
numerous positions within the organization; and

WHEREAS, Today, he continues to attend many Fire and EMS calls, as
well as Training Drills and Fire Prevention details; and

WHEREAS, Firefighter Carl Geib was a longtime member of both the
North Bailey Fire Company's bowling team and the drill team; and

WHEREAS, Firefighters unwaveringly serve our great State with pride,
valor, and integrity; these respected volunteers are often the first to
respond to an emergency, whether the emergency is a fire, transportation
accident, natural disaster, act of terrorism, medical crisis, or spill
of hazardous materials; 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;
Carl Geib is one such firefighter; throughout 50 years of devoted
service, this volunteer heroically performed, above and beyond the call
of duty, those responsibilities which define the task of fire
protection; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
honor Firefighter Carl Geib upon the occasion of his designation for
special recognition after 50 years of dedicated service to the North
Bailey Fire Company; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Firefighter Carl Geib.
