Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 4, 2025, as Volunteer Firefighters' Appreciation Day in the State of New York

AI Summary

This resolution aims to request Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim May 4, 2025, as Volunteer Firefighters' Appreciation Day in New York State, recognizing the critical contributions of the state's nearly 100,000 volunteer firefighters. The resolution highlights the significant role these volunteers play in protecting communities, particularly in rural areas where 95% of volunteer firefighters serve populations of less than 25,000 and more than 50% protect communities of less than 2,500 residents. It emphasizes the selfless dedication of these firefighters, who often risk their lives responding to emergencies including fires, accidents, natural disasters, and medical crises, and notes that volunteer firefighters comprise two-thirds of the estimated 1.2 million firefighters nationwide. The resolution also coincides with International Firefighters' Day, a global observance that honors firefighters' sacrifices and contributions to community safety, and calls on all New Yorkers to remember and appreciate both current and past firefighters, including those who have died in service. The document requests that an officially engrossed copy of the resolution be transmitted to Governor Hochul.
