WHEREAS, Paramedic Danny Byler of the Wise County Office of | ||
Emergency Management has been named the recipient of a Life Saving | ||
Medal in recognition of his role in providing medical assistance to | ||
two Fort Worth residents involved in a vehicle accident; and | ||
WHEREAS, On February 2, 2022, Danny Byler responded to a | ||
traffic incident in which a car lost control on an iced-over bridge | ||
and plunged into the Trinity River; the passenger was pulled from | ||
the vehicle by a witness, and the driver remained trapped in the car | ||
when it sank; a Wise County swift water technician swam into the | ||
frigid river and extracted the man from the vehicle; Mr. Byler | ||
helped provide lifesaving assistance on the shore, and the man | ||
rescued from the submerged car was transported to a hospital and is | ||
expected to fully recover; and | ||
WHEREAS, Every day, the first responders of Texas are called | ||
to the aid of individuals in need, and through his swift and | ||
decisive action in this critical situation, Danny Byler upheld the | ||
highest standards of his profession and helped to save the life of a | ||
fellow citizen; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 88th Texas Legislature | ||
hereby congratulate Danny Byler of the Wise County Office of | ||
Emergency Management on his receipt of a Life Saving Medal and | ||
extend to him sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Mr. Byler as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
Senate. |
