R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The year 2003 marks the 50th anniversary of the
founding of the Spring Volunteer Fire Department, and this special
milestone deserves legislative recognition; and

hazardous material, and emergency medical services for more than
70,000 residents, as well as mutual aid services for surrounding
areas; members of the Spring Volunteer Fire Department also work
tirelessly with the community to raise money for important causes
such as the Muscular Dystrophy Association; and
WHEREAS, The courageous firefighters serving and protecting
Spring residents over the past 50 years have made the department a
source of tremendous pride to the community; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby honor the Spring Volunteer
Fire Department for half a century of exemplary service and extend
to all those responsible for the department's operations sincere
best wishes for continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the Spring Volunteer Fire Department as an expression
of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
