HONORING Lisamarie Nunez upon the occasion of her
designation as recipient of the Fire Prevention
Educator of the Year Award by the Orange County
Firefighter Museum and Fire Education Center

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, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to honor
Lisamarie Nunez upon the occasion of her designation as recipient of the
Fire Prevention Educator of the Year Award by the Orange County
Firefighter Museum and Fire Education Center; and

WHEREAS, This auspicious event will be held Saturday, June 3, 2017,
at the Firefighter Museum and Education Center in Montgomery, New York;
and

WHEREAS, Each year, the Orange County Firefighter Museum and Fire
Education Center takes this opportunity to recognize the incredible
spirit of volunteerism that the firefighters have for its museum and
education center; and

WHEREAS, Active within the community she so ably serves, Lisamarie
Nunez is a firefighter with the Winona Lake Fire Engine Co. No. 2; and

WHEREAS, Throughout the entire period of her professional and
community service, a period of constructive involvement, Lisamarie Nunez
has stood constant in dignity, good grace and humor; 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;
Lisamarie Nunez is such a firefighter; throughout her five 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 Lisamarie Nunez upon the occasion of her designation as recipient

of the Fire Prevention Educator of the Year Award by the Orange County
