Assembly Resolution No. 491

BY: M. of A. Gray

 HONORING Firefighter Carl Herman upon the occasion
 of his designation for special recognition after 70
 years of dedicated service to the Northpole Fire
 Company

 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 honor Firefighter
Carl Herman upon the occasion of his designation for special recognition
after 70 years of dedicated service to the Northpole Fire Company; and

 WHEREAS, Carl Herman has consistently demonstrated a level of
commitment, dedication, integrity and professionalism which truly
exemplifies excellence in the volunteer service; and

 WHEREAS, Carl Herman has been an integral part of the success of the
Northpole Fire Company, a private non-profit fire department; and

 WHEREAS, During his distinguished tenure, Carl Herman has served in
numerous leadership positions, including past chief, president, and
current board member; and

 WHEREAS, Carl Herman's selfless contributions to the community
extend far beyond responding to fire calls, and encompass thousands of
hours of training, housekeeping, managing the fire department,
significant involvement in the department's management and development,
and extending himself whenever called upon to serve the community; and

 WHEREAS, Carl Herman directly assisted in vital projects such as
acquiring land, acquiring fire equipment, initiating and managing
fundraisers, and directly assisting in the building of the Northpole
Fire Company station at its current location; 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;
Carl Herman is such a firefighter; throughout 70 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 Firefighter Carl Herman upon the occasion of his designation for
special recognition after 70 years of dedicated service to the Northpole
Fire Company; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Firefighter Carl Herman.
