BY: M. of A. Ra

COMMENDING Firefighter Paul Schroth upon the
occasion of his designation for special recognition
after 50 years of dedicated service to Carle Place
Hook, Ladder and Hose Company No. 1

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 commend
Firefighter Paul Schroth upon the occasion of his designation for
special recognition after 50 years of dedicated service to Carle Place
Hook, Ladder and Hose Company No. 1 to be celebrated at its Annual
Inspection and Installation Dinner on Saturday, March 14, 2020, at
Carltun at Eisenhower Park, East Meadow, New York; and

WHEREAS, Paul Schroth joined the Carle Place Fire Department in June
of 1950; throughout his 50 years of service, he has held numerous
positions within the Department including: 2nd Lieutenant, 1st
Lieutenant, Captain, 2nd Assistant Chief, 1st Assistant Chief, Chief,
Corresponding Secretary, Recording Secretary, Vice President, and
President; and

WHEREAS, In addition to his work with Carle Place Hook, Ladder and
Hose Company No. 1, Paul Schroth was a firefighter with the FDNY for 23
years; 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;
Paul Schroth 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
commend Firefighter Paul Schroth upon the occasion of his designation
for special recognition after 50 years of dedicated service to Carle
Place Hook, Ladder and Hose Company No. 1; and be it further
