SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 96
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
join Texans across the state in expressing pride and admiration |
|
for the heroism exhibited by Kyle Sulak; and |
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Sulak, a third-year student at the Texas |
|
College of Osteopathic Medicine, was leaving his home when he |
|
heard cries for help from a nearby neighbor, whose hands and legs |
|
were on fire as he fled his house; and |
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Sulak had managed to extinguish the flames |
|
using water from an outdoor faucet when he heard the man's young |
|
daughter calling for help from an upstairs window; he instructed |
|
his wife to call 9-1-1 and rushed back to the house; he |
|
encountered the man's son standing frozen in the entryway and was |
|
able to calm him down enough to get him to help his sister escape; |
|
he then led the neighbor's mother from the kitchen to safety |
|
outside; and |
|
WHEREAS, After ensuring that no one else was in danger, Mr. |
|
Sulak reentered the house and put out the fire; he also kept cold |
|
water on the man's burns until help arrived; and |
|
WHEREAS, As a result of his coolheadedness and remarkable |
|
poise, his ability to prioritize, and his quick response, Mr. |
|
Sulak prevented what might have been grievous loss of life and |
|
property; he is truly deserving of recognition for his heroic |
|
action; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, |
|
83rd Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commend Kyle Sulak |
|
on his quick thinking and calm action and extend its appreciation |
|
to this admirable young man; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
him as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. |
