BY: Senator STEC

 HONORING Firefighter Mark Bomyea upon the occasion
 of his designation as 2024 Firefighter of the Year
 by the St. Lawrence County Fire Chiefs Association

 WHEREAS, Citizens across our State and Nation are inspired by and
indebted to our noble firefighters who exhibit courage and bravery every
day in the course of their duties; and

 WHEREAS, 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
Mark Bomyea upon the occasion of his designation as 2024 Firefighter of
the Year by the St. Lawrence County Fire Chiefs Association on Thursday,
January 16, 2025, at the association's January meeting; and

 WHEREAS, Firefighters unwaveringly serve our great State with pride,
valor, and integrity; these respected individuals 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, Justly deserving of this esteemed accolade, Firefighter
Mark Bomyea has been honorably serving the Rensselaer Falls Fire
Department for the past 31 years; over the years, he has served as
Chief, 1st Assistant Chief, 2nd Assistant Chief, Foreman, Assistant
Foreman, Trustee, Fire Police and Training Officer, and has served as an
EMT for Rensselaer Falls Rescue Squad; he was instrumental in starting
the department's First Responder Program in 1989, serving as one of the
first EMTs; and

 WHEREAS, This esteemed honoree, Firefighter Mark Bomyea, belongs to
the St. Lawrence County Haz-Mat Team, Fire Advisory Board, Believe NNY,
St. Lawrence County Fire Training Center, and is also a New York State
Certified Fire Service Instructor; he formerly belonged to the St.
Lawrence County Fire Chiefs as President, 1st Vice President, 2nd Vice
President, and Director, and is currently a member; he was also an
American Heart Association CPR/First Aid Instructor; 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;
Mark Bomyea is one such firefighter; throughout his 31 years of devoted
service, he heroically performed, above and beyond the call of duty,
those responsibilities which define the task of fire protection, justly
receiving the esteemed designation of Firefighter of the Year in the
State of New York; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
honor Firefighter Mark Bomyea upon the occasion of his designation as

2024 Firefighter of the Year by the St. Lawrence County Fire Chiefs
Association; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Firefighter Mark Bomyea.
