LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION commending Jarrett Hansen upon the occasion of
his designation by the Roosevelt Fire District, Roosevelt, New York, as
its Firefighter of the Year

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 Jarrett Hansen upon
the occasion of his designation by the Roosevelt Fire District of Roose-
velt, New York, as its Firefighter of the Year; and
WHEREAS, Jarrett Hansen will be honored on Saturday, March 26, 2011,
at the Roosevelt Fire District's 99th Annual Department Installation
Dinner, to be held at the Chateau Briand in Carle Place, New York; and
WHEREAS, Firefighters and emergency medical service personnel exempli-
fy the power of human compassion and the strength of the American spirit
through actions of the most heroic magnitude; their sacrifices and self-
less dedication merit tribute and recognition by all citizens of their
community, their State, and their nation; and
WHEREAS, Volunteer firefighters, EMS squad members, and fire depart-
ments not only provide the critical service of fire protection and emer-
gency medical services but also engage in other activities 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; Jarrett
Hansen is such a firefighter; throughout his devoted service, Jarrett
Hansen has been a volunteer who has 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
commend Jarrett Hansen upon the occasion of his designation by the
Roosevelt Fire District as its Firefighter of the Year; and be it
further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to Jarrett Hansen.
