WHEREAS, The Spring Fire Department received its charter | ||
in May of 1953; since that time, it has grown from its original | ||
members to include 181 members who are dedicated to serving the | ||
165,000 residents throughout the 62-square-mile district and who | ||
diligently protect property and businesses; and | ||
WHEREAS, These dedicated firefighters serve the community | ||
with courage and commitment, and the district's nine fire | ||
stations provide emergency medical coverage and complete fire | ||
supression 24 hours a day and 365 days a year; and | ||
WHEREAS, Over the course of 70 years, the firefighters of | ||
the Spring Fire Department have responded to numerous rescue and | ||
hazardous material calls and have battled thousands of fires as | ||
they worked to protect the lives and property of the people of | ||
Spring; beginning August 26, 2017, and continuing for several | ||
days, the department heroically responded to the effects of | ||
Hurricane Harvey, receiving 500 calls for water rescues and | ||
successfully completing rescues of approximately 2,000 people; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, The men and women of the Spring Fire Department | ||
have served the citizens of Spring with bravery, skill, and | ||
professionalism, and it is truly fitting that they be recognized | ||
for their exemplary dedication; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
