SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 6
|
|
WHEREAS, For their lifesaving actions on June 5, 2016, |
|
members of the Marshall Fire Department received the 2017 Crew of |
|
the Year Award from the Texas Emergency Medical Services for |
|
Children State Partnership; and |
|
WHEREAS, During an afternoon cookout in Marshall, a |
|
three-year-old girl was swimming with other children when she |
|
slipped out of her life vest and sank to the bottom of the pool; and |
|
WHEREAS, A family friend, Officer Matt Cooper, quickly dove |
|
through the water to retrieve the young girl, who was not breathing |
|
and who had no pulse; Battalion Chief Randall Jeans, of the |
|
Marshall Fire Department, retired Battalion Chief Mike Jeans, and |
|
registered nurse Kim Heath were in attendance that day and rendered |
|
CPR until the toddler was able to breathe on her own; and |
|
WHEREAS, Soon after, an ambulance crew, which included |
|
Lieutenant John Wilson and firefighters Justin Cox, Kyle Cates, |
|
and Jordan Allen, arrived on the scene to transport the girl to |
|
the emergency room; the following day, she was released from the |
|
hospital, and she has since made a full recovery; and |
|
WHEREAS, Faced with a crisis situation, these inspiring |
|
public servants drew on their training to avert what could have |
|
been a tragic event, and in so doing, they exemplified the |
|
highest ideals of their profession; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
|
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commend the Marshall |
|
Fire Department on its receipt of the 2017 Crew of the Year Award |
|
from the Texas Emergency Medical Services for Children State |
|
Partnership and extend to the department's members sincere best |
|
wishes for the future; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
the Marshall Fire Department as an expression of high regard from |
|
the Texas Senate. |
