COMMEMORATING the 125th Annual Convention of the
Northern New York Volunteer Firemen's Association
WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is proud to commemorate the 125th
Annual Convention of the Northern New York Volunteer Firemen's
Association and to honor its past and present firefighting members for
125 years of fire protection to the citizens of Northern New York and
its surrounding communities; and
WHEREAS, The 125th Annual Convention of the Northern New York
Volunteer Firemen's Association will be held on Sunday, June 13, 2021,
and hosted by the Deerfield Fire Company; due to COVID-19, the
Association will only be holding an annual meeting and the election of
officers, followed by a memorial service; and
WHEREAS, The Northern New York Volunteer Firemen's Association
represents 10 counties which include: Clinton, Essex, Franklin,
Hamilton, Herkimer, Jefferson, Lewis, Oneida, Oswego and St. Lawrence;
and
WHEREAS, Fire departments are an integral part of community
protection services in every locality of our State; during the past 125
years, the courageous and devoted firefighters of the Northern New York
Volunteer Firemen's Association have valiantly responded to all types of
fire emergencies and have won the praise and respect of the community
which they serve; and
WHEREAS, With a membership of dedicated firefighters, the record of
the Northern New York Volunteer Firemen's Association in public service
and fire protection is one to be envied; for 24 hours a day, for 365
days a year, for 125 years, whenever the alarm sounded, these noble
volunteers left their homes and went to the aid of their neighbors; and
WHEREAS, The brave firefighters of the Northern New York Volunteer
Firemen's Association are prepared to risk their lives every day to help
save the lives of others and to protect homes and property from the
destruction caused by fire; and
WHEREAS, In addition to the skill and devoted service demonstrated
by individual firefighters, the Northern New York Volunteer Firemen's
Association reflects the history and development of firefighting over
the past 125 years; and
WHEREAS, This Legislative Body cannot express sufficient gratitude
to those devoted individuals who recognize that the preservation of life
and property is a sacred responsibility and who make that responsibility
their own by serving as firefighters; and
WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that we should
give special recognition to those who work so assiduously for the
betterment of their communities, and acknowledge publicly the heroic
good works performed by the volunteer fire departments of this great
Empire State, their officers and auxiliaries; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
proudly commemorate the 125 Annual Convention of the Northern New York
Volunteer Firemen's Association; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to the Northern New York Volunteer Firemen's Association.
