This resolution commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Pultneyville Fire Company, a volunteer fire department located in New York, which will be celebrated on September 13, 2025. The resolution honors the company's century-long commitment to community protection, tracing its history from its founding in 1925 after a devastating fire, through its evolution from basic bucket brigades and manual equipment to modern firefighting and water rescue capabilities. It highlights the organization's significant milestones, including acquiring its first fire truck in 1928, expanding into water rescues, and maintaining a unique structure where taxpayers own the equipment and firefighters own the building.

By passing this resolution, the legislative body aims to publicly recognize the heroic service of the Pultneyville Fire Company and its members, and will formally transmit a copy of the resolution to the fire company as a mark of appreciation.
