H.R. No. 80

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Through their swift and heroic actions, a number of
	first responders in Montgomery County were instrumental in saving
	the life of a man on February 24, 2016; and
	WHEREAS, That day, Jonathan Arteaga was working on leveling a
	mobile home when the 18-ton structure suddenly fell on top of him,
	pinning him underneath; within minutes of the 9-1-1 call being
	made, two deputies from the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office,
	Brad Crandell and Kenneth Morris, arrived on the scene; after
	determining that Mr. Arteaga still had a pulse, they enlisted the
	help of Peter Baty of Magnolia Towing, who used a wrecker to lift
	the home and free the gravely injured man; and
	WHEREAS, Members of the Magnolia Volunteer Fire Department
	promptly began performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on
	Mr. Arteaga, whose heart by then had stopped beating, and
	paramedics from the Montgomery County Hospital District
	subsequently initiated an advanced procedure known as a simple
	thoracostomy in an attempt to reinflate his crushed lungs; the
	procedure succeeded in restoring Mr. Arteaga's pulse, and the crews
	moved quickly to transport him to Tomball Regional Medical Center,
	where a trauma surgeon was standing by; once stabilized,
	Mr. Arteaga was transferred by Life Flight to Memorial
	Hermann--Texas Medical Center for further treatment; today, having
	survived in the face of tremendous odds, he continues to make gains
	on his long road to recovery; and
	WHEREAS, Deserving of profound gratitude and recognition for
	their role in rescuing Mr. Arteaga are in-charge paramedics Carol
	Finnegan and Micheal Fischer, attendant Isaac Shaul, supervisor
	Sherry Sullivan, and call taker Danielle Williams of the Montgomery
	County Hospital District; deputies Brad Crandell, Kenneth Morris,
	and David Lasalle of the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office;
	captains Galen Hargrave and Scott Geminden, firefighters Colby
	Anderson, Aaron Duhon, Brad LeVrier, Davin Heitmeyer, and Jacob
	Griffith, battalion chief Keith Soliz, and assistant chief Kevin
	Walters of the Magnolia Volunteer Fire Department; Peter Baty of
	Magnolia Towing; Tomball Regional Medical Center; and the Memorial
	Hermann Health System; and
	WHEREAS, By acting with skill and composure when every second
	counted, these dedicated individuals helped to prevent a crisis
	situation from becoming a tragedy, and in so doing, they
	demonstrated extraordinary commitment to their work and to the
	safety and welfare of the public; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
	Legislature hereby commend the men and women involved in the rescue
	of Jonathan Arteaga and extend to them sincere best wishes for the
	future.
