SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 498
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
join the Texas State Association of Fire Fighters and Texans
across the state in celebrating March 26, 2019, as Firefighter
Day at the Capitol; and
WHEREAS, The Texas State Association of Fire Fighters was
established in 1938, and it is the state's only professional,
career organization dedicated to serving firefighters; it
represents 179 local affiliates and more than 18,000 firefighter
members across the state; and
WHEREAS, The firefighters of Texas daily place themselves
in harm's way in order to protect the lives and property of
Texans; they undergo countless hours of training, and they
consistently demonstrate courage and sound judgment in carrying
out the unique responsibilities of a firefighter's duty; and
WHEREAS, It is truly fitting that a day be set aside to pay
tribute to these dedicated and courageous public servants; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
Legislature, hereby commend the firefighters of Texas on their
commitment to protecting the citizens of Texas and extend to them
best wishes for a rewarding Firefighter Day at the Capitol; and,
be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
honor of this special occasion.
Creighton, Whitmire
