WHEREAS, Cody Wendt of Willis demonstrated great courage and |
|
|
initiative on February 15, 2007, when he single-handedly put out a |
|
|
fire on the porch of a neighbor's home; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, While riding home with his family after a dinner |
|
|
out, Cody Wendt noticed flames coming from his elderly neighbors' |
|
|
porch; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The quick-thinking 14-year-old rushed to the scene |
|
|
and stomped out the fire, risking flames that rose as high as his |
|
|
thighs; his bold efforts extinguished the blaze, preventing it from |
|
|
reaching several oxygen tanks only a few feet away; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, After alerting the homeowners to the situation, Cody |
|
|
and his brother called the local fire department; the Klein |
|
|
Volunteer Fire Department responded to the call, but found the fire |
|
|
already out; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Aided by seven years of Boy Scout training, Cody |
|
|
Wendt swiftly and correctly assessed a dangerous situation and |
|
|
acted with initiative and heroism; he is clearly an exceptional |
|
|
young man with a generous heart, a courageous spirit, and a cool |
|
|
head; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commend Cody Wendt for his bravery in saving the |
|
|
lives of his neighbors and extend sincere best wishes to him for a |
|
|
bright and promising future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mr. Wendt as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
