LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION commending Lieutenant of Rescue Arthur Payton
upon the occasion of his designation for special recognition after 10
years of dedicated service to the North Amityville Fire Company, Inc.
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, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-
standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to commend
Lieutenant of Rescue Arthur Payton upon the occasion of his designation
for special recognition after 10 years of dedicated service to the North
Amityville Fire Company, Inc. to be celebrated at its Annual Installa-
tion Dinner and Awards Ceremony, on Saturday, April 18, 2015, at the
Hyatt Regency Wind Watch, Hauppauge, New York; 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; Arthur
Payton is such a firefighter; throughout his 10 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
commend Lieutenant of Rescue Arthur Payton upon the occasion of his
designation for special recognition after 10 years of dedicated service
to the North Amityville Fire Company, Inc.; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to Lieutenant of Rescue Arthur Payton.
