        COMMEMORATING   the   100th   Anniversary  of  the
        Jonesville Volunteer Fire Department

  WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is proud  to  commemorate  the  100th
Anniversary of the Jonesville Volunteer Fire Department and to honor its
past  and  present  firefighting  members  for  100  years  of dedicated
volunteer service to the citizens of Clifton Park, New York; and

  WHEREAS,  Fire  departments  are  an  integral  part  of   community
protection  services in every locality of our State; during the past 100
years,  the  courageous  and  devoted  firefighters  of  the  Jonesville
Volunteer  Fire Department have valiantly responded to all types of fire
emergencies and have won the praise and respect of the  community  which
they serve; and

  WHEREAS,  With a membership of dedicated firefighters, the record of
the Jonesville Volunteer Fire Department  in  public  service  and  fire
protection is one to be envied; for 24 hours a day, for 365 days a year,
for  100  years, whenever the alarm sounded, these noble volunteers left
their homes and went to the aid of their neighbors; and

  WHEREAS,  The  Jonesville  Volunteer  Fire  Department  consists  of
approximately  64  active members who respond to upward of 900 calls per
year, covering a 16.87 square-mile area, serving over  15,000  residents
within the Town of Clifton Park, New York; and

  WHEREAS,  The  brave  firefighters  of the Jonesville Volunteer Fire
Department are prepared to risk their lives every day to help  save  the
lives  of  others and to protect homes and property from the destruction
caused by fire; and

  WHEREAS, In addition to the skill and devoted  service  demonstrated
by  individual  firefighters,  the  Jonesville Volunteer Fire Department
reflects the history and development of firefighting over the  past  100
years; and

  WHEREAS,  This  Legislative Body cannot express sufficient gratitude
to those devoted individuals who recognize that the preservation of life
and property is a sacred responsibility and who make that responsibility
their own by serving as volunteer firefighters; and

  WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative  Body  that  we  should
give  special  recognition  to  those  who  work  so assiduously for the
betterment of their communities, and  acknowledge  publicly  the  heroic
good  works  performed  by  the volunteer fire departments of this great
Empire State, their officers and auxiliaries; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
proudly  commemorate  the  100th Anniversary of the Jonesville Volunteer
Fire Department which will be celebrated at  their  annual  Installation
Banquet on January 26, 2019; and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to the Commissioners and District Staff  of  the  Jonesville
Fire Department.
