SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 654

WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to recognize the Argyle Fire District crew members, whose quick thinking and decisive action saved the life of a Northlake citizen; and

WHEREAS, On March 30, 2019, the Denton County Sheriff's Office dispatch center received a 9-1-1 call regarding an individual who had fallen to the floor and was unconscious in a residence; and

WHEREAS, Crew members responding to the call were Lieutenant Mon Nguyen, driver-engineer Chad McInis, firefighter Brent Barnfield, firefighter-paramedic Zachary Haas, and firefighter-paramedic Jared Wells; and

WHEREAS, Upon arriving at the scene, the crew discovered the unconscious citizen was without a pulse; under the leadership of lead paramedic Zachary Haas, crew members provided aggressive advanced cardiac life-support treatments until the victim regained a pulse; the patient was then transported to a Denton hospital and is currently healing at home; and

RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th Legislature, hereby commend these outstanding Argyle Fire District members for their heroic efforts; and, be it further
