Assembly Resolution No. 655

BY: M. of A. Buttenschon

 RECOGNIZING Christina Scofield as Civilian of the
 Year 2025 at the 131st Annual Convention of the
 Central New York Firefighters Association

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize and
commend individuals whose outstanding actions and selfless dedication
contribute greatly to the safety, well-being, and betterment of their
communities; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to recognize Christina
Scofield, who will be honored as Civilian of the Year 2025 at the 131st
Annual Convention of the Central New York Firefighters Association,
hosted by the New York Mills Fire Department in New Hartford, New York,
from July 18-20, 2025; and

 WHEREAS, The Civilian of the Year Award is presented to an
individual outside of the fire service who has demonstrated
extraordinary courage, compassion, or service in support of emergency
responders, public safety, or their fellow citizens; and

 WHEREAS, On June 19, 2024, Christina Scofield heard a young child
crying profusely from a car on a 99-degree day and went to check on
them; and

 WHEREAS, Christina found a two-year-old and a five-year-old in a
locked vehicle with the back window down, no air conditioning running,
and no parent or guardian around and leapt straight into action, calling
911 and attempting to cool the children down with a water-soaked towel;
and

 WHEREAS, After the police arrived and the children were removed from
the vehicle, Christina noticed the two-year-old beginning to lose
consciousness from the heat and immediately brought her into a cool
space to bring her temperature down while waiting for Fire/EMS to
arrive; and

 WHEREAS, In a moment that called for quick thinking and resolute
action, Christina Scofield rose to the occasion with bravery, clarity of
mind, and a deep sense of duty to others; and

 WHEREAS, The heroic actions and dedication demonstrated by Christina
Scofield embody the highest ideals of civic responsibility and reflect
great credit upon themselves, their community, and all those who serve
in public safety; and

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that those who
give of themselves so courageously and generously should be recognized
and applauded by all New Yorkers; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
honor Christina Scofield as Civilian of the Year 2025, in recognition of

their remarkable service, bravery, and commitment to the people of
Central New York; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Christina Scofield, with the highest esteem and gratitude
of this Legislative Body.
