House Resolution 182

By: Representatives Maddox of the 172nd and Keown of the 173rd

A RESOLUTION

Commending the heroic actions of Dylan Dixon and inviting him to appear before the House of Representatives; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, 14 year-old Dylan Dixon of Cairo, Georgia, heroically saved the life of his neighbor, Ms. Ida B. Crozier, from a fire in her home; and

WHEREAS, while Dylan was outside his home driving his family's golf cart, he noticed smoke coming from the roof vent and front door of Ms. Crozier's home; and

WHEREAS, after rushing into Ms. Crozier's home, Dylan noticed the source of the fire was Ms. Crozier's couch and quickly doused the smoldering furniture and courageously escorted Ms. Crozier to safety on the front lawn; and

WHEREAS, after containing the fire, Dylan and a fellow neighbor removed the couch from the home to ensure the flames did not reignite and spread throughout the house; and

WHEREAS, an inspection of the scene by the Cairo Fire Department proved Dylan's actions as not only heroic, but life saving, as the couch was precariously close to curtains that could have ignited within five minutes if Dylan had not intervened; and

WHEREAS, this fearless young man attends Cairo High School and spends his spare time playing for the school's junior varsity football team, participating in student government, and serving in 4-H; and

WHEREAS, in recognition for his valorous deed, Dylan was presented with a Cairo Fire Department Life Saving Award; and

WHEREAS, it is only fitting and proper that this body recognize the brave and selfless actions of Cairo's hometown hero, Dylan Dixon.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that this body conveys its admiration to Dylan Dixon for his impeccable character and courage.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Dylan Dixon is hereby invited to appear before the House of Representatives at a date and time to be fixed by the Speaker of the House for the purposes of being recognized by the House and receiving an appropriate copy of this resolution.
