Bill > J00532

This resolution honors John Purcell, a dedicated volunteer firefighter who served as Chief of Department for the Great Neck Alert Fire Company from December 2021 through December 2024, recognizing his 16 years of exemplary service. The resolution highlights the critical role of volunteer firefighters, who selflessly respond to emergencies such as fires, accidents, natural disasters, and medical crises, often sacrificing personal time to help their community. By pausing to acknowledge Purcell's commitment, integrity, and professionalism, the legislative body celebrates not only his individual contributions but also the broader spirit of volunteerism and heroism embodied by firefighters across the state. The resolution formally recognizes Purcell's service and includes a provision to transmit an officially engrossed copy of the resolution to him, which will be presented at his Installation Dinner on Saturday, April 5, 2025, at The Inn at New Hyde Park.
