H.R. No. 1069

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Senior Captain Edward Escamilla and firefighters
	Jonathan Guzman and Darren Jones of the Houston Fire Department
	demonstrated great bravery in the line of duty when they responded
	to an apartment fire on January 7, 2025; and
	WHEREAS, The two-alarm fire broke out at an apartment complex
	in southeast Houston at approximately 5:30 a.m. and quickly spread,
	consuming two units and prompting an urgent evacuation; after
	arriving at the scene, the three firefighters entered the building
	to check if anyone was still inside; during their search, they
	became trapped by a heavy door, and they issued a distress call for
	rescue; and
	WHEREAS, As their gear melted due to the extreme heat, the
	team sustained severe burns to their hands, legs, and necks;
	another firefighter subsequently ripped the door open and helped
	them get to safety; following weeks of extensive treatment at
	Memorial Hermann Hospital, all three of the firefighters were
	eventually discharged from its burn unit; and
	WHEREAS, Every day, firefighters are called upon to put
	themselves in harm's way to come to the aid of their fellow
	citizens, and through their valiant actions, these heroic Texans
	have distinguished themselves as exemplary members of their
	profession; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
	Legislature hereby commend Senior Captain Edward Escamilla and
	firefighters Jonathan Guzman and Darren Jones for their courageous
	actions in responding to an apartment fire and extend to each of
	them sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for each firefighter as an expression of high regard by the
	Texas House of Representatives.
