WHEREAS, The Cedar Park Fire Department was named the top |
|
|
emergency medical services first-responder organization in Texas |
|
|
for 2006 by the Texas Department of State Health Services; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This significant honor recognizes the Cedar Park |
|
|
Fire Department's success in handling emergency calls, which can |
|
|
comprise as much as 80 percent of a department's workload; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Judged best in this category among the more than |
|
|
2,400 fire departments in the state, Cedar Park has an excellent |
|
|
track record in resuscitating victims who have suffered cardiac |
|
|
arrest; in addition, the city's EMS responders do an outstanding |
|
|
job with less critical situations, and they bring a positive, |
|
|
proactive attitude to all of their emergency duties; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Under the direction of fire chief Chris Connealy, |
|
|
the Cedar Park Fire Department has earned a prominent place among |
|
|
the Lone Star State's emergency-services organizations, and the |
|
|
exemplary performance of its EMS personnel has greatly enhanced the |
|
|
safety and well-being of the residents of the Cedar Park area; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Cedar Park Fire Department for |
|
|
being named the top EMS first-responder organization in Texas for |
|
|
2006 and extend best wishes to the department members for continued |
|
|
success in their crucial work; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the department as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
