Bill > HR506

This resolution commemorates the grand opening of the John Ashman Fire Training Complex in Lewisville, a $6.9 million facility collaboratively built by the cities of Lewisville, Flower Mound, and Highland Village. The complex is named after John Ashman, a dedicated Lewisville Fire Department veteran who served for four decades and passed away in May 2023. The state-of-the-art training facility features a live fire training environment with a two-story residential structure, a three-story commercial building, a drill tower, and classrooms, where firefighters from the three communities will prepare for various emergencies including fire response, disaster management, technical rescue, and complex medical scenarios. The Texas House of Representatives formally recognizes the significant contribution of these first responders and their commitment to protecting citizens' lives and property, and officially commends all those involved in bringing the training complex to fruition. The resolution also directs that official copies be prepared for the Lewisville, Flower Mound, and Highland Village Fire Departments as an expression of respect and appreciation.
